Check in to get your fix of film reviews, awards news, viewing marathons, hot men, and what's going on with me. While I'm not pursuing other more worthy goals, I'll be here... devouring life, art, and pop culture, one crumb at a time.
"Crumb by crumb
In this big black forest...
You I'll belieeeeeeve..."

I am a currently an MFA student in University of Miami's film school, recently graduated from Brown. I'm an aspiring singer, actor, writer, and/or filmmaker... basically, I'll take what I can get. My first true love is performing, but the film critic in me just won't shut up, and I love writing and directing things, too. I think I wear too many hats (literally and figuratively). This blog is an outlet for my many wild passions, and a way to kill all my spare time. Also, I like to keep my sidebar REALLY full, so if you wanna see archives, just keep on scrolling down ; )

I actually went to see Once with my MOM, who LOVED it. I also liked it a lot more than I was expecting, having only seen the trailer before Waitress and knowing nothing else about it before going in. I've seen it billed as a "musical for people who hate musicals" and I'm sure the ending has a lot to do with that...I don't know that I have much else to say about it, really. It was quite sweet, but didn't leave a huge impression on me. Except a grossed-out impression (that is, factual, Entertainment-Weekly-supplied knowledge) that Hansard (37) and Irglova (19) are now dating. And have known each other since she was 13. Awesome.
Hey Liz! I love the tagline on your blog.
I knew even less about Once going into it. I hadn't seen the trailer, and only knew it was "critically acclaimed" and starred people whose names sounded foreign. So it was a very pleasant surprise for me.
I'd heard Hansard and Irglova started dating after the shoot, but I had NO idea she was 19 (!). I remember thinking "why didn't they get together before the film if they'd already recorded together?" But of course, it's cause she was UNDERAGE.
She totally looks like she could be in her late twenties, and he looks like he could be a little younger than he is (cause you know, men's faces are allowed to age more quickly). So I didn't give it a second thought. Wow.
I loved it a little less the second time I saw it, but I still love it. I do dig the musicals.
