i do recall watching this preview for beautiful losers some time last year. and i wanted to watch it while i was at the vegas film festival but somehow couldnt make the date. and so, here i am reunited with the film via myspace advertisement that just came out this past friday in los angeles at the landmark nuart. chhhheckk it.


im thinking that im just going to work insanely a lot to gather enough money for ONLY new york, a new camera, some clothes, and film related things. i hate the fact that time is money. theres still so many things left to do. i need to get started on my college apps if i want to transfer in time. and i decided that if i really try. i mean really try with like good ol' sweat and tears, ill be able to attend usc or nyu. i just need to have more faith in myself. i need some kind of inspiration. 

beautiful losers presents the do-it-yourself artists of the 90s, who have created art without succumbing to the art establishments. and what i don't understand is how one can follow certain guidelines for art. its art. the options should be limitless. and im thinking i should have a back up major but if this is what i want to do and am willing to live with five other people in a one bedroom apartment just to pursue my dreams then so be it. and im not saying that if these people can do it so can i but, it's certainly a look into the lives of these artists who have sacrificed many things to achieve their dreams.

yeah i need to stop this madness and just do it. my dad's favorite motto in life: just do it. and sometimes life is just better that way...

Once is like nothing you've ever seen before. It is a contemporary musical, written and directed by John Carney. It is about two struggling musicians in Dublin, who meet one day and collaborate with each other and within a week, record a demo. What is fascinating about this little indie film is that it seems like a documentary and we are taken on a trip with these two lost souls, who have their own problems much like everyone else. And its relatable in that they deal with universial issues such as money and relationships. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova--who wrote and sung all their songs--give chilling performances as their song "Falling Slowly" are nominated for an Oscar and 2 Grammy awards. So, buy the dvd or rent it and watch what the buzz is all about. And if you're not convinced enough, here are video clips from Once set to the multi nominated song...

I have seen all of Wes Anderson's film but Bottle Rocket, till now. This Anderson debut film is one of the most realistic and funniest one out of all his movies (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Darjeeling Limited). Not only is it Luke and Owen Wilson's first time acting together, but it shows the relatable situations people go through in life. The Wilson's characters are two friends who are directionless in life. And like most people, they resort to ridiculous plans to take the easy road out (ie: robbing bookstores and their own homes). Its a new and refreshing first movie for Anderson. And James Caan stars in it as the role of Mr. Henry, the gang leader. And really, it doesn't get better than that.
