Indie Movie of the Week:
"Dreamland"
Starring Justin Long, Agnes Bruckner, Kelli Garner, & John Corbet
Directed by Jason Matzner
Justin Long fans rejoice! This is a lovely movie that follows a community of people living in a trailer park called Dreamland. The main character of the story is caught between caring for her father and best friend or going away to college to become a writer. This is a cute movie about growing up, letting go, and moving on.
Foreign Film of the Week:
"The Band's Visit"
"The Band's Visit"
A film by Eran Kolirin
This movie a bit long but simply wonderful! It follows an Egytian police band touring the Middle East. They go to Israel looking for the place they are supposed to perform at, only to find that their agency made a mistake. Stuck in Israel, they are forced to ask the owner of a local restaurant to stay the night. Each member of the band learns an important lesson in life as they live out their overnight stay.
Documentary of the Week:
"Rock School"
"Rock School"
Directed by Don Argott
This documentary is a must-see for all rockers and musicians. It is about a man named Paul Green who starts a school for young kids to learn to play rock music such as Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. This documentary and Paul Green's school actually influenced the hit movie "School of Rock" starring Jack Black. You can also find members of Paul Green's School of Rock music performing for large and hip music festivals such as Austin City Limits and the Frank Zappa Festival in Germany.
Indie Band of the Week:
Irving
This band is an indie pop/rock group from Los Angeles, California. I love their music because all of their songs get stuck in your head and are pretty hard to get out. Their music is very fun to dance to as well! It's rock music with some sweet beats!
For all You Bookworms:
"Feed"
By M.T. Anderson
Everyone who reads this book will understand why I am so anti-internet these days.
This book is set in the future -a world where humans literally have "Feeds" in their brains. The Feeds are computers/televisions that are programmed to sell the people things they will like based on their brain readings. This book is a wonderful example of how technology becomes so intricate that humans cannot even control it anymore. A must-read for EVERYONE!
Polaroid of the Week:
"All You Need is Love"
much love, sarahhh
