Movies: Once
Saw this at the Capitol in Arlington with a tiny audience but really is a wonderful movie. The acting (particularly Alaistair Foley in the lead who has a wonderfully expressive face), writing, cinematography and visuals of Dublin are all just absolutely great. The only negative was that some of the Irish accents were quite difficult to follow and if I had been watching at home on DVD, I definitely would have turned on subtitles. Still, a beautiful small movie and highly recommended. ****1/2
Also watched Burning Man: Beyond Black Rock, a documentary on the 2003 Burning Man festival which I also thought was excellent, with the caveat that I have never been (would like to go but worry about all the dust and all making it too uncomfortable). ****
