Re: Once - (Movie recommendation)
I saw it last night in SF at the Embarcadero theater, the only place it's playing here, though it will probably get a wider release because it's getting huge buzz.
I liked the film and would recommend it, though my reaction was more mixed than ZJ's. But I dunno, I don't want to gum up this thread so soon by saying anything specifically negative, and at the end of the day it was a definitely a good movie.
And I agree that that most everyone will like the music, for example my parents saw it over the w/e in Chicago and loved it--this isn't the kind of music they usually listen to but my mom was hinting that getting her the soundtrack would be a good gift idea. I think enjoying this music made her feel kind of cool.
To Georgia Ave, yeah it will be a good date movie, as long as there's no threat of her leaving the theater bummed that she isn't dating a bohemian guitar-strumming neo-romeo.
