the edge of heaven (2007)

imdb.com: A Turkish man travels to Istanbul to find the daughter of his father's former girlfriend.

so i made it to the movies today. and figured that it was time again to post something on this page.

this film is broken into three parts. the death of two and the life of another. this film is really all about relationship and the discovery of love.

the movie is over 2hrs long and is in German, Turkish and English.

i stand: liked the film as a whole but would of love to see somethings come together alittle better at the end.

a very quick roundup of the films i see lately

LARS AND THE REAL GIRL(2007)
imdb.com: A delusional young guy strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet.

i stand: thinking it the best movie i saw all year. just my type of movie. dark but not that too dark, and dealing with everyday people. i love laughing out loud in theaters.














MARGOT AT THE WEDDING(2007)
imdb.com: Margot and her son Claude decide to visit her sister Pauline after she announces that she is getting married to less-than-impressive Malcolm. In short order, the storm the sisters create leaves behind a a mess of thrashed relationships and exposed family secrets

i stand: thinking everyone in this film delivered a great performance...i'm thinking oscar noms. Jennifer Jason Leigh was!













GRACE IS GONE (2007)
imdb.com: Upon hearing his wife was killed in the Iraq war, a father takes his two daughters on a road trip.

i stand: Love John but the movie was a little boring. sad yes.

music and lyrics (2007)

imdb.com: A washed up singer (Grant) is given a couple days to compose a chart-topping hit for an admiring teen sensation. Though he's never written lyrics in his life, he sparks with an offbeat younger woman (Barrymore) with a flair for words.

so this movie is just so bad that it's funny. if you want to laugh go see this MOVIE but know that you're laugh at it and not with it. there are some lines in this movie that have you thinking did they really just say that....do real people talk like that and the answer is yes and no at the same time.

i stand: THINKING THAT I'M GLAD I SAW IT WITH PEOPLE THAT LAUGHED THE LOUDEST.

josh ritter - the animal years (2006)

Idaho making some good music. i could listen to this album over and over again.....this event did take place recently because of a very long road trip.

the music is a folker sound then my usual dancer music but it tugs at my heart.

i stand: LISTENING TO IT NOW! YOU SHOULD TOO.
