A little Lynch
Movie Review: David Lynch - Don't Look at Me (1989)
A French made documentary about the man himself. This covers his work up to and including Blue Velvet. It's also shot in a style reminiscent of Lynch's work, with the camera hiding behind a set of blinds, and using lots of TV's within the scenes. It shows Lynch working on a new screenplay and discussing some of his paintings, his fears, and his desire to make a film based on Kafka's Metamorphosis. For a man who doesn't like to talk about his films much this is probably the most we'll ever get to hear him say about his films. 7/10
Movie Review: The Cowboy & the Frenchman (1988)
Lynch's short film contribution to a collection called Les Francais Vus Par. It has a cast of Lynch regulars (including Harry Dean Stanton and Jack Nance). Stanton plays a nearly deaf rancher who encounters a hyper-stereotypical Frenchman, complete with baguettes, wines, French Fries and escargots. The film is slow paced and pretty amusing with a couple of musical vignettes that keep it on the bizarre side of things. It's included on the David Lynch Short Films DVD. 7/10
Book Review: What to Expect When You're Expecting Heidi Murkoff, Arlene Esenberg & Sandee Hathaway
A gift from my sister-in-law Ann. A great, month by month guide to what is going on with mum and her baby.
Book Review: The Expectant Father Armin A. Brott and Jennifer Ash
Another gift from Ann. This book is a smaller version of the above book but written for fathers to be. A nice addition to the above book.
