once-watch it!

so i rented a few movies this weekend, one was once. it’s an Irish movie about this singer songwriter guy, singing on the streets, etc.  meets a girl who enjoys the music, she’s a musician too and it’s the once in a lifetime chance to write and play together. sounds kind of sappy, i admit, but the guy is Glen Hansard, the lead singer of an Irish band called The Frames and the writer/director of the movie was in the band with him.  Glen and the girl, Marketa Irglova wrote the songs for the movie.  It’s just so passionate.  Not like a Hillary Duff movie or something when it’s a big name who is nervous but (surprise!) starts to sing well. Somewhere I read it was the best movie of last year that no one saw, now it’s on DVD.  The music is beautiful!!
