Indie Film of the Week:
"Cashback"
Directed be Sean Ellis
I saw this movie last semester and it honestly changed some of my outlook on life. This movie is about a guy named Ben who goes through a painful breakup. To cope and to pass the time he gets a job at a supermarket, and his life changes forever.



Foreign Film of the Week:
"The Edukators"
Directed be Hans Weingartner
This movie is seriously awesome and a must-see for everyone! It's a German movie that follows 2 guys and 1 girl as they break into people's homes. They don't steal anything though; instead, they rearrange everything and leave a note that says, "You're days of plenty are numbered." Then their lives quickly changes as one of the homeowners catches them in the act.



Documentary of the Week:
"The Bridge"
A Film by Eric Steel
***This documentary is NOT for the faint of heart
Basically, Eric Steel and his camera crew set up cameras in many different locations around San Fransico that were focused on one thing -The Golden Gate Bridge. While the cameras were filming, over a dozen people were filmed commiting suicide by jumping off the bridge to their deaths below. This documentary follows the lives of those people and has interviews with their families and friends.



Featured Indie Band of the Week:
Hello, Seahorse!
I discovered this band during SXSW 2009 in Austin, Texas. They are a cute, indie-pop band from Mexico City and have released two albums so far. Their music is very catchy and happy; you will be bobbing your heads up and down to these tunes.

"Looking for Alaska" by John Green
This is one of my absolute FAVORITE books. In fact, one of my favorite quotes ("I go to seek a Great Perhaps") comes from that book. This book follows a girl named Alaska and her friends as they go through life a boarding high school. Read this book -you'll fall in love.
