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...

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...

---

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 ...

---

One of the best films of 2021. I need to re watch it.

---

Stunning, gripping movie. I was on pins and needles the whole time.

---

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)

---

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!

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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 best movie I’ve seen all year. Riz Ahmed is wonderful in this movie. I love the ending.

---

If you love nature documentaries, you will love this!

---

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...

---

If you like dark comedy in the vein of Heathers, this movie is for you. I enjoyed this but like Heathers much better

---

Amazing music and acting. You can find it on Amazon Prime Video

---

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!

---

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...

---

Presidents were much different in the 70’s. Very entertaining! I’d recommend this film, especially if you know nothing about Jimmy Carter.

---

This one left me haunted and scared. From Charlie Kaufman, probably most well known for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A new couple visit the boyfriend’s family on a rural farm, but every...

---

Indie film maker Kristen Johnson has made unique and heartwarming documentary about her father. She explores his fragile being and celebrates his life by recreating many, and sometimes weird, wa...

---

The other night a prowler came around to the back of my house and i saw their face in the french doors of my bedroom. I was feeding the baby at about 10pm. It scared me. The police came and looke...

---

Probably the best film i’ve seen this year, i had a feeling it would be. Kelly Reichardt, the director, is not from Portland- but lives here- and has made several films based in Oregon (Meek’s Cu...

---

My favorite film podcast hosts, (Filmspotting) recommended this small film. Someone even likened it to a movie i loved either last year or the year before (Leave No Trace). This one follows a typ...
