These shots are the proofs why this film is a classic. So good!

Sharon Van Etten

A really beautiful and unique voice, but absolutely heartbreaking!

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Sharon van Etten - Love More

Juliet, Naked

I absolutely love this book, how could I not love it? It's hilarious, intelligent, and heart-felt. And it kind of answered some questions that have always troubled me. Okay, not giving away too much, because you have to read it, if you haven't, and you don't want me to tell you what happens in the story : )

ps. Nick Hornby is pretty busy these two years, wrote a screenplay, called An Education; wrote a book, called Juliet, Naked; made an album with Ben Folds, called Lonely Avenue. If you like Nick, you probably should see this.

Runaway

Kanye West - Runaway

Tom Waits' kind reminder: I once heard the word “douchebag” invoked to seal a door to a less-than-preferable plane. I don’t know this West gentleman, but I warn him: there are proper and improper ways of stroking the zeitgeist—it bristles with teeth. Such comfort with the plasticized blockbuster! He’s lounging naked on its contours. I suspect this man has already lost some vital part of his sanity. West: you’ve opened a door that doesn’t close.

Kanye's reply:  DID YOU NOT SEE HOW COLORFUL MY EXPLOSIONS WERE?? I’M LIKE AN AMAZING TECHNICOLOR MICHAEL BAY BUT WITH MAGICAL IMPORTANT LOVE AND NOT PLANET-DESTROYING ROBOTS! I’VE SEEN SOME TOM WAITS MOVIES. THERE ARE NOT EVEN ANY METAPHORS IN THOSE MOVIES FAM!! I HAVEN’T LOST MY MIND IT’S JUST THAT MR. WAITS TRYING TO GRASP MY PASSION AND MY VISION IS LIKE TRYING TO WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND A GHOST AND IT’S LIKE “YOU CAN’T HUG A GHOST FAM!” EVERYONE KNOWS YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE GHOST AND UNDERSTAND HIS PLIGHT. SOMETIMES WE CAN ALL LEARN THINGS FROM GHOSTS AND I JUST HOPE THAT EVERYONE TREATS MY ART LIKE A GHOST WITH A LOT OF SMART THINGS TO SAY.

- Kanye is so funny, a laughable guy really. -

The French Kissers

Director: Riad Sattouf
Writers: Riad Sattouf, Marc Syrigas
Year: 2009 (France)
IMDB

My Rating: 6/10

No-brainer, good laugh though. Good music too. French cinema is really different nowadays. However, my greatest surprise is to see Irène Jacob. She's still so beautiful.

The Social Network

Director: David Fincher
Writers: Aaron Sorkin (screenplay), Ben Mezrich (book)
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake
Year: 2010
IMDB
My Rating: 7/10

Maybe because I don't use Facebook, that's why I don't really like this film. There's nothing in the film that grabs me. It's a well made production about how a lucky nerd got to be a billionaire and made some enemies along the way. It's a fine film nevertheless.
