Off to the states in a week and a half. Looking very forward to this…

of late I’ve been buying a lot of movies that I’ve never heard of. I have gotten very lucky with this.I’m able to spot movies that I know I’ll like. I suppose it helps that I havn’t heard of them and thus have no real expectations. If I did I probably wouldn’t like them as much…
In the past few weeks I’ve bought ‘Tideland’ which was directed by Terry Gilliam, and yesterday watched a movie with elijah wood called ‘Alles ist erleughtet’…I think the english title was ‘everything is illuminated’. It is about an american who goes on a quest to the ukraine to track down people in a photo. Starts out being incredibly funny, then turns into a very sweet, heart wrenching story about the war. Recommend them both.
The soundtrack for the latter movie was partially composed of a band called ‘Gogol Bordello’. I loved that music. I will be downloading some soon. In doing a bit of research they were billed as Gypsy Punk. Fair enough description in my book. They were great!!!

For some reason I also bought the 1967 best foreign picture oscar winner. A czech movie that was only 3€. Couldn’t pass it up. It’s black and white so it must be good…haven’t seen it yet. I’ll let you know…

also a David Lynch movie I havn’t heard of…got 3 hours to kill???

Also finally made it to Palmengarten yesterday. Was nice and relaxing. Nice place for a pic-a-nic…
some pics…

back to the states in a week and a half…place your orders quickly…
I finally sent my postcards from Italy this week…yeah…procrastinators inc…or should I say…yup that’s one more thing off my to-do list…;)
