The perks of having an online video renting membership is finding movies that I’ve never heard of before and discovering that I’ve been missing out on so much and learning that I have so much more to take in. If that makes any sense. I’m really bad with run-ons. Julian Schnabel’s Before Night Falls is an example of this.

If you […]
film still from Wim Wender’s Paris, Texas Two great movies in one sitting. I had to rent this movie after I saw this scene on TV when we used to have all those fancy cable channels. The quiet dialogue between Nastassja Kinski and Harry Dean Stanton’s characters is really powerfully emotional on a personal level. You don’t know anything about Travis and Jane’s history yet. You don’t know how they met or why they’re not […]
