Book Review:
In the Woods by Tana French
~I picked up this book in the library simply based on the cover- a coat of dark branches bleeding away from the lettering. It looked cool, why not? What an intricately, detailed, and palpable story she wove! Ms. French brings such life from her pages. The novel, in it's entirety, is grippingly delicious.
Movie Review:
Midnight Cowboy
~Terribly deep. I too wonder why Dustin Hoffman did not receive best actor for his role as Rico Rizzo. Jon Voightt did a terrific job portraying the arrogant and naive young bull, Joe Buck. We never find out what really happened to Joe Buck, but throughout the film, his flashbacks give us some idea. His short friendship with Rico gives Joe some direction but ultimately leaves him devoid of fulfillment. If you haven't seen this, see it.
Music Review:
Andrew Bird
~I simply love Andrew Bird and his music. From melodic whistleing to ravishing pizzicatos, this is music worthy of praise.
