Once

Published by ryan on December 21st, 2007 in ,

Tonight we watched the movie "Once". It's not often that I see a flick that really strikes me as truly out of the box, unique, poetic, and entertaining. Tonight was one of those nights, and Once was one of those movies.

It's not a love story, it's not a musical, it's not a typical indie quirky, it's not funny, it's not dramatic, it's not surprising... yet it is all those things. Perhaps it's that I really liked the music or the organic way they made the movie. Whatever it was, it struck me enough to inspire me to A) watch the "extra features" on the DVD, B) write about it here, C) buy the soundtrack, and D) have it make a lasting impression on me. So there ya go. My thumbs-up. It's also one of the few movies I've seen get a 98% on rottentomatoes.com.

Here's a great scene, Guy singing "Say It To Me Now":
