This past summer was a difficult one, emotionally. I was starting to lost my love and passion for film, I wanted to quit, hide, and never do film again. So, in the form of therapy, I started to go to the movies and watch films that would give me inspiration and remind me why I love film so much. Also, it was good escapism for all the crazy/depressing stuff that I have endured this past summer. I don't think I have fully recovered, but I am slowly becoming myself again.

• Paris Je T'aime (I am pre-ordering it on Amazon. Cried and smiled at the same time. Made me believe in love again.)
• Once
• Dedication
• Fracture
• 2 Days in Paris (Love Julie Delpy/Adam Goldberg. One of the most poignant endings.)
• Rocket Science
• Dan Paris (Romain Duris was excellent.)
• The Motorcycle Diaries (Not in theatres, but just as effective. I can't help but to cry.)
• The Hunting Party
• Hairspray (not a TRUE inspiration, but reminded me why I love John Waters' original.)
