daydream nation by michael goldback

my favourite movie of the day. i would definitly say that this is kat denning's best role that i have seen (which is almost all of them...). the photography is amazing, the plot at first sight seems to fall in the cliche of a michael cera movie, but it does not. it completely twists what you expect from the movie. i think what makes this movie successful (not the definite plot about relationships and dealing with death) is the photography and kat denning's character with powerful quotes such as the one i mention bellow. a sarcastic, pretty conscious girl that knows how to define grey into black and white, and has evolved intelectually but is not really acquainted regarding feeling and what's behind it. 

"I mean you can never really tell what's good until later anyway. 

Until you look back and think about things, and you have time to grow into your mind.

But sometimes you make a choice in that moment, and you know in your heart it's going to change everything.

People will tell you nothing matters the whole world will about end soon anyway, but those people look the life in wrong way.

I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect."

pretty much a mainstream movie with an interesting plot, amazing special effects and a great star. 

i would be very pleased if this drug actually existed.

you'll meet a tall dark stranger by woody allen 

suprisingly, i actually liked it. the relationship approach by woody allen is always an interesting point of view to watch in movie, although i'm not able to get over the fact he appear in scoop and does not stop talking for a second. this one is definitly an easy ride through relationships and people's feelings getting caught in complex situations. 

whatever works by woody allen 

i really thought this would be a movie such as "you'll meet a tall dark stranger", easily watched like a romantic comedy with a little bit more sense to it. but i really enjoyed it and larry's perspectives throughout life are amazingly honest without any pretensious fundamentalism, just sincere perspective. it's not a secret that i truly love evan rachel wood and her part is pretty cute and that pulling off that accent it was pretty fun to watch. although i find larry's character one of the most interesting and honest i've seen, i cannot pass the role of evan rachel wood's "parents" in the movie. i was really fond of the demonstration  of how our context really limits our existence, wether you know it from the beginning or if it is a little detail you never thought as relevant and can really change your life and open your horizons for who you are.

 it went straight to my favourite movie list. 

megan is missing by michael goi

pretty disturbing movie, but i think anyone who has young teenagers as relatives should watch this. 

Music

the suburbs - arcade fire

once again, i'm pulling this one off.

this album is just something that is getting right through me and i can really understand all the awards around it. the consistency, the whole world it creates around you, involving you in a completely new state of mind. 

my favourites of the album are definitly (by order): we used to way, ready to start, the suburbs.

suck it and see - arctic monkeys

this is not the cover but i found it as a very good example of the album. this album it's truly magic through the inside out. when i first heard the songs that first came out like a teasing season of the album (brick by brick, don't sit down cause i've moved your chair, reckless serenade & the hellcat spangled), i was not pretty sure about the whole coherence of the album, and i was pretty afraid of what could come out of it , even though "don't sit down cause i've moved your chair" was for me the best song arctic monkeys had ever created. 

so i listened to the album, and there's a story line, a coherence, from the beginning to the end. the sweet alex turner on the beginning with "she's thunderstorms" continuing with the rock songs "don't sit down cause i've moved your chair" and  library pictures,  and of course the re-edit song from the submarine soundtrack "piledriver waltz"  which i trully love. 

little joy

a new sound i'm discovering, but definitly i can conclude that albert hammond jr and fabrizio moretti had most successful projects that julian casablancas,which i was pretty disappointed with. 

rome

i've listened to it jut once but it is just magic. norah jones is amazing and jack white trully fantastic. 

it's a rome foggy feeling through a sunny afternoon.
