See this movie!

By kate on June 22nd, 2007

Two years ago, one of the really great films I saw at the Seattle International Film Festival was Inlaws & Outlaws. I expected it to have a general release, at least in Seattle because it was filmed here, but it vanished. Yesterday, it was featured in the P-I and I was happily surprised to see […]

Maternal

By kate on May 28th, 2007

I’ve been home full-time with Ruby for just over a week, and in that time our relationship has changed dramatically.
 
I feel like a mother for the first time.
 
I’ve been hesitating to discuss this, but I had a lot of trouble bonding with Ruby. It had nothing to do with her (of course), but was a […]

SIFF!

By kate on May 8th, 2005

It’s SIFF season! I had such a good time last year that I’m very excited it’s that time again. Schedules came out on Thursday, and that day I sat down with pens and highlighters to try to choose what films to see.
 
The process is very instinctive (and random). I’m basing my choices solely on the […]

… In exactly the way that bricks don’t

By kate on April 8th, 2005

First, the movie I’ve been waiting for is finally coming out: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I’m a little nervous, though, as to whether it’ll be a good take or not.
Also, the burlesque show (Sat 11pm) and tonight’s 10pm show at the Moisture Festival are sold out. Other shows are also selling out, or […]

SIFF Journal #4

Yeah, I know this is a bit belated, but I wanted to put up my last couple of reviews…
Garden State
An indie movie with Natalie Portman can pretty much guarantee that I’ll go to see it. And I thought this movie was entertaining, but solidly mediocre. Portman and Zach Braff, who plays her love interest, act […]

SIFF Journal #3

Noise
This black comedy stars Ally Sheedy and supermodel Trish Goff (in her first acting role). Joyce (Goff) is a young divorcee who moves into an apartment below Charlotte (Sheedy), who plays loud music at night, makes lots of noise, and drives Joyce nuts.
I thought it was okay, but found Goff really distracting. I’m not […]

SIFF Journal #2

B-Happy
I really felt misled by the blurb for this film. It covers the last half hour or so of the movie… so I kept waiting for something to happen rather than watching what WAS happening. Bad PR aside, the movie was OK but not great. It reminded me of how I felt about Girl With […]

SIFF Journal #1

By kate on May 24th, 2004

This year I decided to commit to seeing a bunch of movies at the Seattle International Film Festival. I’ve seen varying amounts of movies in past years, but it’s been a while since I’ve really done the Festival. Since I made my selections and got the tickets, I’ve been excited to start going.
For my own […]
