Here we go!
Indie Film of The Week:
"On the Road with Judas"
Starring Aaron Ruell, Kevin Corrigan, Eddie Kaye Thomas, & Eleanor Hutchins
The plot of this movie is a bit hard to explain -it is about a novelist who lives in the real world and a world of his characters iniside his head. He writes a book about real people, which leads to the making of a movie with actors playing the real people. The real people from the book get a chance to interact with the people playing their characters. Fan of "The Science of Sleep" will definately enjoy this!
Foreign Film of the Week:
"Vitus"
Directed by Fredi M. Murer
This Swiss/German movie is simply wonderful! It follows the story of genious little boy named Vitus. He is very smart and excellent at playing the piano; because of his gift his parents want to use him to make themselves rich. However, along with the company of his grandfather, Vitus comes up with a plan that will fool everyone until the very end!
Documentary of the Week:
"The Boys of 2nd Street Park: A Generation's Look at Life, Loss, and Love"
A Film by Ron Berger and Dan Klores
This documentary follows a group of old men as they recount their experiences during the 1960's in New York. They went through everything together -from the Vietnam War to heavy drug use to Free Love to traveling the world to lost loves and back again. This is a very powerful documentary that also proves that true friendship and love can endure even the hardest and most difficult situations.
Indie Band of the Week:
The Most Serene Republic
I seriously cannot stop talking about this band; they are amazing! You simply MUST listen to this band! They mix classical piano with rock to create the most serene sounds. My favorite albums by them are "Population" and the "Phages" ep (I REALLY REALLY recommend this ep -it is BEAUTIFUL). Listen to this band. They will change your life!

For all You Bookworms:
", Said the Shotgun to the Head"
by Saul Williams
I cannot even begin to explain how awesome and amazing this book is. Saul Williams takes readers through love, spirituality, God, and being disconnected from everything in this 200-page poem. Every word and phrase in this book is so beautiful! This is a MUST READ for EVERYONE!
Polaroid of the Week:
"All that We Perceive"
***Again, if you would like to submit your own polaroids to be the next Polaroid of the Week, scan them and send them to <srangel2@stedwards.edu> or send them via MESSAGE to <http://www.myspace.com/egg_whites>! I'd love to see your polaroids and I'm sure everyone else would as well!

I love you all!
