Glad to hear a good review. I am a sucker for anything that's obscure or sub-titled, whether I've heard a good review or not. :)Elizabeth Halthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595395276757245598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-66329912993320996292009-01-16T00:52:00.000-08:002009-01-16T00:52:00.000-08:00(Everyone: I don't want to give an incorrect impre...(Everyone: I don't want to give an incorrect impression of Di Mackey's blog.....it's full of glorious photos from her many and varied international photo shoots, and is not specifically war-related by any means. She does, however, deeply feel the current conditions in Gaza and has used her blog as a forum for her concern. She's a pro no matter what her topic.)<BR/><BR/>Di,<BR/>I hope the movie is available there. Can't imagine it not being, with all the awards it's won. You'll also appreciate the cinematography I think.<BR/><BR/>Melinda,<BR/>I enjoyed your recent post about your Egyptian heritage. I think it's wonderful and wonder if you've visited Egypt?<BR/>"The Visitor" is on my list on the fridge. Thanks for the tip; it's another I hadn't heard of. (See that Rhi below also recommends it.)<BR/><BR/>Erin,<BR/>It's great to have a comment from you! This is a different kind of band movie, most definitely. I love the focus on one particular band member's relationship to his music...<BR/><BR/>Jennifer,<BR/>The movie is absolutely lovely.<BR/>I'm so glad that you were able to spend a bit of time at Di's post. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Rhi,<BR/>Thanks to you, too, for the tip on The Visitor. I'll definitely be looking for it. <BR/><BR/>Loreena McKennitt....we sure share a wavelength on this one! I'll come over to see the video at your blog. You wrote:<BR/>"Her music is not exactly the dancing type but it's very peaceful and spiritual to me..."<BR/><BR/>That's mystical to me because I had this song played at the very end of my mother's memorial service. It's from McKennitt's CD The Book of Secrets: Dante's Prayer. Now that I mention this, I believe I'll create a post with it. Thanks, Rhi, for a special connection...Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-3890756238329346242009-01-15T19:46:00.000-08:002009-01-15T19:46:00.000-08:00Lydia,This sounds like one of my kind of movies!

I'm writing it down on my list for my next trip to blockbusters.<BR/><BR/>I saw the movie Melinda mentioned "The Visitor" and she's right, it was very good.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Celtic music Lydia (you mentioned in my blog) you got me thinking about one of my favorite musical artist (I seem to have a lot of "favorites"..;o)) Loreena MckKennit. Her music is not exactly the dancing type but it's very peaceful and spiritual to me...so I found one of my fav songs by her on youtube and posted it on my blog.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/><BR/>RhiRhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533771985725095499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-60225046004778462582009-01-15T19:36:00.000-08:002009-01-15T19:36:00.000-08:00I've just come from Di Mackey's blog, my heart rap...I've just come from Di Mackey's blog, my heart rapidly sinking.<BR/><BR/>The movie looks lovely.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959874504681715396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-65188017215034963202009-01-15T14:03:00.000-08:002009-01-15T14:03:00.000-08:00I've seen the trailer, and it looked great.

Since I am half Egyptian, it probably drew me in even more than it might of if I were not. <BR/><BR/>It also reminded me of another film I saw very recently about unexpected relationships--and this film knocked me out. It is called "The Visitor" (out very recently) that I highly recommend to you. Have you seen it? Brilliantly done, really.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/><BR/>MelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-17664868919797280152009-01-15T01:48:00.000-08:002009-01-15T01:48:00.000-08:00Hey, thank you.

I must go looking again, as it sounded delightful.<BR/>xoDi Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.com
