Once is the best movie I’ve seen in a long time, and accomplishes this very simply, without trying very hard. A tale short enough to be a short story. A musical setting so natural you almost don’t realize you’re watching a musical. Characters that are beautiful people you’d want to be friends with.

Two films on my to-see list: Inconvenient Truth & Electric Car
An Inconvenient Truth is Al Gore’s film about global warming. A friend of a friend who saw a preview said it blew her mind.
Who Killed the Electric Car? investigates, murder mystery style, the birth, limited commercialization and subsequent death of the electric vehicle in the United states.
Mad Hot Ballroom
NYC school kids learn ballroom dancing, wonderful.
The Story of the Weeping Camel
“The Story of the Weeping Camel” is the best movie I’ve seen recently. Their description introduces it nicely…
An enchanting tale about a family of herders in Mongolia’s Gobi desert who face a crisis when a mother camel unexpectedly rejects her newborn calf. Uniquely composed of equal parts reality, drama and magic, the movie provides a window into a different way of life and the universal terrain of the heart.
