ain't no sweat on your brow neither

off to a bad start, and i have decided to not put so much pressure on getting to 300 but rather to make good, full reviews. I have been watching the wire in between being really busy doing other silly stuff. I think i am going to also try to add a monthly mix disc, this post containing the first.

Jules and Jim

Writers Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre) are close friends who fall in love with the same woman, the unpredictable Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), amid the turbulence of World War I Paris. What results is a decades-long love triangle that both tests and strengthens the bond between the two men. One of director François Truffaut's best-loved films, Jules and Jim is adapted from the French novel by Henri-Pierre Roché.

This movie is life changing. It's got this uncomfortable but beautiful relationship between friends and lovers, always accepting of each other. I want to meet a Catherine........................

10/10


The Wire season 3 (5 disc)



The business may be drugs, but it's still work for the family that rules the trade in the city of Baltimore. And tracking them down is all in a day's work for the cops tasked with nabbing the family members one by one. In this third season of the riveting crime series, local politics ratchet up the pressure as candidates run on the narcotics issue and make it the center of the election season. Stars Dominic West, John Doman and Sonja Sohn.

probably my favorite season so far, a bit more straight forward and not quite as many characters as season 2 (with both the dock workers and the gangsters and the greeks). Plenty of Omar and Bow tie who are easily some of the best characters ever written for television.

8/10

12/300

and as promised here is a mix, it is zipped so if you need to unzip and don't have the utility just go download 7zip. There is a track list inclosed but mostly it's slow songs about girls. Highlights include but are not limited to Animal Collective, Nick Cave, Cohen, Tom Waits, Blur......etc.
