Once (2007,  R)

This is why I watch movies! Once is full of beauty, heart, and amazing music. It's a Cinderella story for indie filmmakers everywhere.

Four Eyed Monsters
Excellent! It's one of those indie films bursting with creativity. Arin and Susan are two directors with promising careers. Fans of Garden State will enjoy this one.

The best LOL movie of this decade.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004,  R)
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
If only all movies could be this creative and refreshing! Kate Winslet should have won an Oscar for this role.

Before Sunrise (1995,  R)
Before Sunrise
An excellent story about meeting someone special. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy give superb performances as two people who meet by chance in Europe.The script is clever and beautifully written. The conversations between the two characters are loaded full of wit and offer realism alongside plenty of charm. It captures those uber romantic feelings when you first meet someone you like and portrays them in a way we all wish they could be. I give it two thumbs way up!

Saawariya (2007,  PG)
Saawariya
A visual masterpiece!!! Saawariya is full of vibrant colors, great costumes and beautiful dance numbers. The movie has a magical feeling to it, but be prepared for a bittersweet tale. Fans of Bollywood movies and House of Flying Daggers will enjoy this one. I give it two thumbs up!

Eagle vs. Shark (2007,  R)
Eagle vs. Shark
It's a quirky story about two socially awkward people who fall in love. The New Zealand setting gives it a unique feel and there are several scenes that make you smile. Loren Horsley does a great job of making you root for her character to get the guy in the end. This film nicely blends romance with an artsy tone and tops it off with a great indie soundtrack. Fans of Napoleon Dynamite and Garden State will definitely enjoy this one!

Great things happen when Zhang Yimou and Ziyi Zhang unite together for a film. This one you can enjoy with the whole family.

Even in war there can be great dignity. Joyeux Noel is a tragically beautiful story about the human spirit. I give it two thumbs way up!

Griffin & Phoenix (2006,  PG-13)
Griffin & Phoenix
A true emotional powerhouse!!! I cried. I laughed. I enjoyed every bit of dialogue and savored every unique scene of NYC. Amanda Peet and Dermot Mulroney gave two amazing performances. This movie gives me hope in several ways: about filmmaking, life and the power of a good story. It's definitely one of my new favorites.

This will awaken the faith like a child in you.

A completely delightful indie film. It's a sweet and enjoyable love story.

Love and Basketball (2000,  PG-13)
Love and Basketball
Love and basketball never looked so good! This movie is a winner from start to finish. If you've ever liked the boy (or girl) next door then this movie is for you! Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps give great performances alongside a memorable sountrack and offer four strong quarters of heart-felt storytelling.

Man Push Cart (2006,  Unrated)

It makes you think about NYC in a different perspective. It offers an interesting glimpse into the lives of street vendors centered around the story of a struggling ex-Pakistani rock star.

Everything about this movie is superb! Plus I'm a long time fan of all things Bollywood.
