Last night my little one hit her head, not very hard at all.... and seemed to have a seizure. We rose in an ambulance to a local children’s er. They say it could be a concussion.... she seemed t...


You know what i loved about this one? My 4 year old wanted to watch it a second time. Miazaki seems to have gotten weirder in this one, which is great!


I meant to watch this one a long time ago, knowing I would love it. I saw it somewhere over the Atlantic or Greenland as I was enroute from Dublin to Vancouver BR

Here I am, naming/talking about my parts. Fighter/helper/manager- right shoulder, made me feel happy like i was being taken care of, wanted to punch and push away Manager- takes over in situatio...


If you love dark comedy and satire, please watch this! I wouldn’t say it is like Heathers, but it has that over-the-top quality about it. This movie is a little like Barbie in that it is communic...


I finally remember my first indie film of 2024! Showing Up, by Kelly Reichart. I loooooove Kelly Reichart. Recently i caught up with a previous film, Certain Women. OMG I loooooooved that one too...


I can’t remember what my first film was for this year! Turns out I’ve seen (and reviewed) this director’s (Andrew Haigh) previous two films, 45 and Lean on Pete. I loooooved Lean on Pete. This o...


I watched the Wes Anderson Shorts on Netflix a while back. Unfortunately I had a headache or a long day at work (either listening to talking, talking, or working on my computer- all of which are...

I know it’s not an indie film, but I’ve been watching Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig movies for years. I purposefully didn’t really know anything about this movie before I went into it and I foun...


In the vein of Christopher Guest (this is Spinal Tap, a mighty wind, etc.), theater camp is a delightful comedy for all of us drama freaks.

Here I am, trying out a semi-regular post. I think i’ve been feeling the wellbutrin. My sleep is heavier. I feel a little more centered. Today I have a headache, all day. Also, i feel sick, so th...

wellbutrin in Random Thoughts

I’m trying my first pharmacological intervention. Last night I took my first (low) dose. The dr is starting my off slowly. It’s an anx/dep med but mostly i am using it for my ADD-like symptoms. T...


I have so much to say and have not been making the time to write (which is one of the most therapeutic activities). I will try, though. Recently little river and i went to a hippie gathering, ma...


I’d forgotten that I watched this delightful movie a month or so ago. I am not actually sure if it is an independent film. Either way, it made me happy and it will do the same for you :)


I finally caught up with Tar- and WOW that ending was intense. I had to read a little about people’s perspectives to get a idea of what (perhaps) was going on. Here is the trailer-


this solidifies that i love quiet movies. i love and have a quiet soul.


Working part time has been great, despite the halved wage. Luckily I had some savings to booster this year. By the time one year has passed, I will have survived off 45K plus (mostly likely) all ...


I loved this so much that I stayed home from work to finish it (i work half day pm’s on Mondays). I think its out in theaters right now, I saw it on Amazon video.


I am definitely caught up on indie films now! The director of this movie, Noah Baumbach, also directed Marriage Story (up for Oscars a few years ago). I tend to like his movies, but they are a c...


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...


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, ...


Must see documentary about the community and descendants of the last slave ship in the United States.
