Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (indie film #2) in Indie Film 2023
So far I have been able to keep up with watching one indie film per month. Streaming and only working part time really helps. For February, I watched Pinnocchio.... in parts and pieces unfortunat...
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (indie film #1) in Indie Film 2023
A film from 2022, but I am not to worried about that. I will be catching up with indie films I’ve missed as well as trying to see new ones. A heart warming 90 minute film! If you want an uplift, ...
Descendant- indie film #4 in Independent Film 2022
Must see documentary about the community and descendants of the last slave ship in the United States.
fairy godmother in Random Thoughts
i’m stealing a bit i saw from the front page- fairy godmother comes and gives you the perfect day. Mine involves hot springs, the mountains, snow, quiet, yoga, massage, meditation, knitting, read...
RAIN in Random Thoughts
Oh acronyms, how do you feel about dark mornings at 6am. Have you a preference for when your helpful light shines? Ever since coming back from Mexico Ive been going to sleep early (8pm hour) and ...
back to the foundations in Random Thoughts
I am enjoying time to myself. Though, as part of the anxiety, I keep thinking about what i could or should be doing. So many things in the house beyond the cleaning, but cleaning does take most o...
Anxiety in Random Thoughts
It’s been so long since I have written, I might not even know how to write. Funny to think that I have been doing this online journal thing since opendiary and livejournal. The last two years ha...
After Yang (indie film #3) in Independent Film 2022
Kogonada made my favorite film of 2016 or 2017, Columbus. Now he has created this divide piece, After Yang. It toughed my heart. I love it’s slow meditation and soundtrack. This is definitely a ...
The Power of the Dog (indie film #10) in Independent Film 2021
One of the best films of 2021. I need to re watch it.
The Lost Daughter (indie film #2) in Independent Film 2022
Stunning, gripping movie. I was on pins and needles the whole time.
Passing (indie film #9) in Independent Film 2021
Beautiful. How often do we get black and white films, especially when the black and white is such an integral part of the film itself (skin color)
Licorice Pizza (indie film #1) in Independent Film 2022
The sound was weirdly distorted and way too loud at the theater i attended, so this film will need a re-watch, especially since music is a huge part of the experience. I do love PT Anderson!
Dune (opposite of an) indie film #8 in Independent Film 2021
I’ve been waiting for this one for quite a while, so i couldn’t resist including it. I saw Dune at a matinee the day it came out because i took half a day off work. I loved it, but that is becaus...
Annette- indie film #7 in Independent Film 2021
This one was not weird enough. Ok, ok, it was an odd film. Major movie stars probably brought more mainstream viewers who though “WTF am i watching!!!” But compared to this directors previous fil...
can i live on less in Random Thoughts
this has been on my mind since the disaster of last school year. Can i take a different job and make less money? I don’t think i can be a solo parent and teach at the same time. At least not whi...
It's been a year... in Random Thoughts
Not surprisingly, i haven’t written in a while. I actually did not write one entry the whole of last school year’s debacle. It was rough. I seriously considered just quitting or changing jobs. Th...
Crip Camp (indie film #6) in Independent Film 2021
This is a very important film because I feel like many people do not know that when “the world” was protesting against the Vietnam War there were many different groups of folks fighting for their...
The Sound of Metal (indie film #5) in Independent Film 2021
The best movie I’ve seen all year. Riz Ahmed is wonderful in this movie. I love the ending.
My Octopus Teacher (indie film #4) in Independent Film 2021
If you love nature documentaries, you will love this!
Time (indie film #3) in Independent Film 2021
Over the past couple months, I’ve watched quite a few independent films. I am going to try and recall what they were. Time- an unusual documentary (non traditional) about a family sticking toget...
I Blame Society (indie film #2) in Independent Film 2021
If you like dark comedy in the vein of Heathers, this movie is for you. I enjoyed this but like Heathers much better
Small Axe- indie film #1 in Independent Film 2021
Amazing music and acting. You can find it on Amazon Prime Video
The Tobacconist in Independent Film 2020
A magical realism story of Nazi Germany. Eye Candy. I totally forgot that I watched this movie in 2020. So i officially watched 11 indie films in the year of our Pandemic, with a new baby!
Dick Johnson is Dead (indie film #10) in Independent Film 2020
Free on Netflix- one of the best life affirming documentaries on death that you’ll ever see. Also, a very excellent film. Kirsten Johnson works with her dad deals with her dad’s worsening dementi...
Jimmy Carter: Rock and Roll President (indie film #9) in Independent Film 2020
Presidents were much different in the 70’s. Very entertaining! I’d recommend this film, especially if you know nothing about Jimmy Carter.
