This weekend was a three movie weekend:
- Bottle Rocket (recommended): starring Owen and Luke Wilson (their debut film) and directed by Wes Anderson. Quirky, Indie Comedy.
- Away From Her (also recommended): based on an Alice Munro short story, it chronicles an older couple dealing with the trauma of Alzheimer’s disease. Very emotional, Indie Drama.
- The Diving Bell and The Butterfly (recommended and featured video): based on the memoir written by Jean-Dominique Bauby, the former Editor of the French fashion magazine Elle. Bauby wrote the memoir after suffering a severe stroke which left his entire body paralyzed, except for his left eye. He wrote the memoir by blinking. Great cinematography and wonderful acting.
