| Friday & Some Sanity |
Today is a day for getting some work done to feel accomplished and then sitting around goofing off. I'll pick out a new foreign, maybe indy, film or two and sit back with a huge mug of coffee and let the images flood my brain.
I would just love to find some friends who have Netflix and are interested in creating an "Oprah-esque" group with me...a la "Book Club" flavor. Anyone who loves independent films, documentaries, & foreign films (along with a few mainstream films sprinkled in) can be a part. I propose we watch the same film within a certain time frame, say a week or so, and then all give our reviews and comments in a forum, or here on my blog. It can be the "Friday Film Forum." OK, not my most creative moment (the name, I mean).
Anyway, I would love to have some takers on this. It would give me one more reason for loving my day off on Fridays! What do you say? Perhaps I can begin by recommending one of my own recent favorites, sure to touch everyone. It is every genre of film wrapped into one (despite the spooky trailer). I was floored by this one at first viewing. It is so much more complex than it admits to being. The title: "The Orphanage." If you can't find it right away, it came out in 2007, and the Spanish title is "El Orfanato."
I'll give this a couple of weeks and tag some of my friends who might be interested.
Let me know what you think.
TGIF
