Blood Into Wine

You should watch this documentary, Blood Into Wine, if it comes to your area. It totally rocks. I wasn't necessarily a "Maynard" fan, like the rest of the rock world, until I saw his documentary. Mostly because I'm not a 'rocker' kinda girl with the cool black hair, red streaks, and vintage threads. :) I'm just a brown haired Texas gal with an ever-so-slightly southern accent, who likes to bake (a lot) and watch, write and make movies.

But back to Maynard - I always thought he had a great vocals, and out of all the bands my husband insists I listen to, Tool's sound ROCKS. But after this movie, I left the theater feeling nothing but respect... for him, his wine making, and passionate artistry.

Oh, and I love the way he says, "comfortable." I'm kinda obsessed with this word for some reason, and he says it perfectly. :)

It's Complicated (movie)

It's not the most brilliant movie I've ever watched in my entire life, BUT it's one of the most honest, and for me - that's HUGE. One of my favorite writer-directors, Nancy Myers, (Something's Got To Give) grabbed a hold of those little quite/after moments and really finessed the rawness of those very intricate/complicated emotions we shuffle through in life. We wade. We swim. We laugh. We cry. Sometimes we just float... she wrote the real deal, without all the Hollywood stuffing. She developed the characters, told a solid story, and made me feel something. And she let really wonderful actors just be wonderful. Thank you, Nancy.
