With hopes of having some-thing worth reporting on a regular basis, I give the blog another try. No promises — mostly pictures. c
Book Queue
—"The Most Beautiful House in the World"by Witold Rybczynski. (Borrowed from Michael Dunaway)
—"See You in a Hundred Years"by Logan Ward. (Found out about Logan Ward after reading his Garden & Gun article on Architect Bobby McAlpine)
—"Coop, a Year of Poultry, Pigs and Parenting"by Michael Perry. (Came across this while looking for Ward's book, and was reminded of an NPR interview that I think featured Michael Perry. Katie's really into it at the moment.)
Good but not great. Way too many entertainment worthy facts left out of this script. Yeah, History Channel. And why in the world did they not include some reference to "Woody Gutherie"—he sang all about that Robin Hood, bank robber element that was so big and heroic at the time. I own that one by the way.
—"Moon"
Pretty damn good, but mainly for dudes (except in rare cases). Really like Sam Rockwell. Stellar performance.
—"District 9"
Great. Not that girl friendly but so what. A fresh look at Sci-fi. Smart effects used smartly. Felt a little naive, but in a good way, kind of like the first Starwars.
—"Food Inc."
A must see. If you've been teetering on the fence between being more conscious about your diet and not putting that much thought into it, this will help you make a forward decision I promise. A bit scary, but way healthier than "Supersize me." I'll probably write more about this film when I get a minute.
