Lady Bird (indie film #12)

One of the best movies of the year (along with Columbus)


I knew i would love this, like i knew i would love Columbus. I saw this director’s debut, Tangerine a couple years ago, and it was quite good. A story of a hidden side of homelessness most folk ...

mother! (indie film #10)

The trailer makes mother! look like a horror film. It’s not. It’s not a real story, per say…every character is an archetype. I think people will talking about mother! for a long time. I think its...

Columbus- indie film #9

O! O! How did i know i would love this before i even saw it? “a soft spoken reverie” says one tiny clip on the trailer. music, pacing, cinematography, the way conversations are filmed indirectly ...

I don’t get to see Ian tonight as has been our usual, so when i had a chance to see a movie in Portland Thursday night, i invited him. We saw the Oscar nominated shorts, plus a few extra ‘notable...

LaLa Land (#2)

Since this is an Oscar contender, it might not seem like the kind of film i would talk about. But. I heard about it and planned to see it before it was splashed all over. Color. Charm. Music. The...

Manchester-By-The-Sea (#1)

As we sit, Ian says he is entering the land of his people (especially the accent). I seem to love the east coast men who transplanted westwards 20 years ago. I feel like i am still processing th...


Book Description

Reaching for a goal of one indie film per month in 2017. Hopefully i will be attending them with Ian.
