I read about all these really awesome documentaries or independent films. I have a saved draft in my cell phone of all the ones I want to see someday - Everything is Illuminated, Lake of Fire, Born into Brothels, Boys of Baraka, Saints & Soldiers, Man on Wire, In Chad, American Teen, La Misma Luna, 22 Weeks. S0me of these I don't even remember what they are about (disclaimer: some of these titles may be songs, books, or movies....)! I just put them into my phone so I would remember to check them out someday (& it's a good thing I did! I only remember about 3 of them!) I usually find an online review or a fellow blogger who has watched & recommended them.
I recently watched Bella & The Visitor and really enjoyed both of them - there is something in a beautiful, simple, heartfelt story. I was moved by The Visitor - it makes me want to embrace & experience more culture; I wish I had rhythm to learn the djembe :)
And I came across this post after a fellow blogger watched Boys of Baraka. Makes me want to watch it and gives such great truths/ideas to be intentionally aware of, for those of us who want to be married & raise a family someday.
And it made me realize I should seriously consider getting NetFlix. Where else am I going to rent these great movies?? Any thoughts? Is it worth the investment of $5.00/month? I'm one of those people who have to be "in a mood" to watch one of these kinds of films - I had Bella for at least 6 weeks before I actually watched it...

I've heard good things about Everything is Illuminated. There's another really good indie film with Elijah Wood in it called Paris, Je T'aime. It's made up of several short films about love and relationships. Definitely worth renting.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to think about Netflix. 5 bucks a month isn't too bad, though...
I'm adding that to my list :)
ReplyDeleteNetflix is definitely worth it. Check into the plans to see if you have unlimited instant movies. They have quite a few that you can watch online anytime you want. And you can switch the order of your queue at any time. We've had it for about 3 years now. It's much cheaper than renting. :-)
