Into the Wild
2007 by Sean Penn
Just finished seeing it. Good film.
The Science of Sleep
La Science des Reves (2006) by Michel Gondry.
A very creative fantasy-romance-comedy-movie. This is the type of movie at the end you see yourself with a warm smile in your face. It reminded me the movies are an art where there are still a few good artists expressing themselves.
Comparable to another excellent movie in the same category: You Me And Everyone You Know (2005) by Miranda July.
GTD
Getting Things Done, by David Allen.
I thought I was an organized person before reading this book. But it reminded me that as other things in life, there are levels of organization.
GTD helps you giving a direction on how to process and deal with your day to day tasks and have a non-stressed mind.
After the Wedding
(Efter brylluppet) Denmark/Sweden 2006, by Susane Bier.
An excellent drama movie. Perfect acting in a articulated real-life plot.
JPod
JPod, by Douglas Coupland (2007). Just finished this hilarious and engaging book. I really enjoyed it. It is a funny portrait of Generation X geeks.
Clark Terry
Yesterday we went to see the trumpeter Clark Terry at the Blue Note Milano.
He was fantastic with his trumpet and flugelhorn, but it was really inspiring when he actually sang!
Also David Glasser’s alto saxophone was quite impressive.
Olodum in Milano
Yesterday we saw Olodum at the Portello parking area, nearby Milano’s Fair Complex.
Except by the big sign “Fiera di Milano” visibly behind the stage it was a concert with real carnival flavor! Caipirinha included!
Lost In Translation experience
If you, as me, really liked the movie you can “Enjoy Being Lost in Translation at Park Hyatt Tokyo”.
The hotel offers a package “which mirrors the adventures of the film’s main characters”.
Lovely!
And the Oscar goes to…
I got really excited when saw Cidade de Deus (City of God) was nominated for 4 Oscars: directing, cinematography, film editing and writing (adapted screenplay).
Even if it doesn’t win any statue, it already means a victory for Brazilian cinema.
