1a. (We're starting FRESH!)

***THIS IS THE FIRST NEW POST EVERRRR ON SARAHEATSWHALES!
Someone ring a cowbell...


So every week I will provide the human race with some amazing Movie selections -1 regular film, 1 foreign film, and 1 documentary.
I will also provide an amazing Music suggestion (band/artist/orchestra/whatever), 1 book to read, 1 polaroid picture of the week (submissions from followers/readers ARE accepted!!!!, maybe a music video, and whatever else I decide.
Interesting quotes/short stories/pictures/whatever else I decide are daily.
And keep in mind that I make the rules ;)
Follow them.
Love them.
Love the blog.
But most inportantly, love Yourself (and love how the contents of this blog will make you feel).



So here is goes!
Indie Film of the Week:
"The Go-Getter"
Starring -Lou Taylor Pucci, Zooey Deschanel, & Jena Malone
Mercer (Lou Pucci) steals a car to go on a roadtrip to try and find his brother. It's one of the most interesting coming-of-age movies I've seen in a really long time. Plus, all the music is practically M. Ward.






Foreign Film of the Week:
"Suicide Club (or "Suicide Circle" in Japan)
Written and Directed by Sion Sono
This movie is for a mature audience. Basically, it tells the story of how a mass suicide committed by a group of school girls triggers more suicides all over Japan. The message behind the story is what is so chilling and true -"Are You connected with Yourself?"




Documentary of the Week:

"Party Monster: The Shockumentary"
Directed by Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato
I can't even begin to explain this "schokumentary." It's a documentary of Club Kid Michael Alig based on a novel titled "Disco Bloodbath" wriiten by fellow Club Kid James St. James in New York during the 80's. If you think Paris Hilton is a crazy socialite, wait until you meet Michael. The documentary is so crazy that it eventually led to an actual movie called "Party Monster," starring Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green.



Featured Band of the Week:
Castledoor
This is an amazing inde/pop band from California. I saw them at SXSW 2009 this year and they were lovely. I sing and dance to their songs daily, and the music video for "Dumpster Diving" has recently become a Favorite of mine of youtube!



For all the lovely Bookworms:

"Steppenwolf," by Herman Hesse

THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Seriously. It's dangerous. NOW GO READ.
