It really has been a long time! Thats my Japanese word for today, a ritual phrase meaning 'its been a long time'. I have been in Michigan for quite awhile. We flew out, I went on the boat. It was really nice.
But the highlight, I'd say, was the Traverse City Film Festival
(Click Here). The first movie we saw was 'Bridge on the River Kwai'. It was incredible. The screen was immense and it was an
experience! The ending to that movie is so strange, its almost predictable but you also don't really expect it (or maybe you just hope it won't turn out that way). Next we got in to a movie called 'A Slim Peace'. We didn't have to pay because we were 15 minutes late. It was a very interesting film about how women in Israel learn about each other and try to overcome their differences. In a weight loss group. I didn't really like it because I didn't see what I learned from it, but it was an interesting idea. The third movie of the day was Paprika
(click here) . It was AMAZING!! I loved it! Everything you expect from a cartoon movie is blown away and burned to a crisp. The visuals were unreal and every twist and turn is completely unexpected. It was fantastic. I would highly recommend it. The second day we went to the film festival we started out in the standby line for a showing of two popular shorts. Luckily, we got in. The first short was a spoof called 'West Bank Story'. I swear it is the funniest movie I have ever seen. It was a combo of West Side Story and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Throw in two rival fast food restaurants (Hummus Hut and Kosher King) and some ridiculous song and dance and laugh the whole time. (
Click Here) The second short was titled 'Please Vote For Me' and it was about a 3rd Grade class in China that decides to do an experiment with democracy/capitalism. The results are a little shocking. Later that day we saw 'Mon Meilleur Ami (my best friend)' it was excellent as well. The last film we saw was 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' on the beach (free!). It was just wonderful. Can't wait to go back next year.
