the state that i am in

so i saw garden state last night. on friday, in preparation for my sunday matinee plans, i listened to the soudtrack about 3 times and fell in love with the iron & wine cover of the postal service's "such great heights." i'm not going to say much about the movie other than i think zach braff is off to a very good start as a writer and director and i look forward to seeing more films out of him. and i may actually go see this again in the theater, which i've probably done with less than 10 movies ever, the last of which was lost in translation, so go see it if you have the chance.

i saw some really good previews, including one for "i love huckabees" with jason schwartzmann (of rushmore and phantom planet fame), and another for "the life aquatic" featuring bill murray (yay another lead role) which is the new wes anderson movie due out on christmas.

alright i'm gonna leave this as a purely film-related post. on that note, here's an under-appreciated film list for you to peruse. more later.
