…what I've been up to, more or less…

9.0 Human League – All I Ever Wanted

As a continuation of the 80′s nostalgia theme of Doug’s recent mix, I dug up this gem from a couple years ago. I have a few others that might make a nice response to Doug’s mix. Still, I have to say that one of the songs Doug chose, New Order’s Krafty, is the pinnacle. It...
9.0 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

The Deathly Hallows was a big hit with us, and Wren and Savannah perfected their butterbeer recipe and shared with us all to celebrate! :-) ...

9.0 Run Lola Run

Great pacing backed up by a nice time-sliced plot. Exhilirating! “What’s in the bag?” ...

[8.0] Mulholland Drive

Another full dose of trippy David Lynch atmosphere, alternating between anything-goes playfulness and suspense of an intensity limited only by your imagination. Don’t expect much traditional resolution, but if you like David Lynch, you’ll enjoy this ride. ...

[8.5] Devdas

What an epic! Intricately detailed sets and costumes frame this three hour epic tragedy. And of course every Aishwarya movie makes my list.
