Once

[youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=k7U2yMpcAew]

As I mentioned in my last post, Juno was my favorite movie of 2007. But had I seen "Once" in the theater instead of at home (courtesy of Netflix), I may have changed my answer. I wish Tom had viewed it with me, but I waited till he was on a plane to CES thinking it wasn't his kind of film.

I think I was wrong, because first it's set in Dublin, a city he wants us to visit on our next international trip. Second, the music is amazing and I think he would've been as moved as me.

This early scene gave me the goosebumps and from that point on I knew why so many people loved the film. Yeah, I am a little late on the scene, but for whatever reason Tom & I rarely went to the movies in '06-'07.

Of late, we've been frequenting our local movie theater. But there's a smattering of films we just missed over the last couple of years. Quite honestly, with all my TV shows down due to the writer's strike I've had more time to catch up and watch those films.

Now I know what I've been missing.
