Our weekend wasn't terribly exciting, minus the part where we DIDN'T fall asleep on the beach, which is always nice. There's nothing like taking acid showers all week and watching your skin molt. We were lazy, so the highlights were few and far between. We liked Chris Young skewering the Red Sox Saturday night, Yovani Gallardo's continued emergence as a top-shelf ace, and this little Irish music film, Once, that totally blew us away Sunday afternoon. We're not usually much for musicals (we boycotted Dreamgirls), but Once is so simple, understated and elegant that we feel compelled to spread word.
It doesn't need our help; it's per-screen averages are amazing and it's a lock for a Golden Globe best comedy/musical nomination. But we loved it, perhaps more than any film we've seen this year not named Zodiac. Check it out, because it's not a sequel and there's no CGI. And isn't that reason enough?
Here's the trailer:
