Good stuff I’ve been watching this past week (Top 3):

MINIMALISM: This film made a big impression on me years ago and I rewatched it for the first time since it originally came out. Highly recommended. 80+ million views when it was only on Netflix!

Waterwalker: Worth a watch just for the scenery. But, if you have an interest in nature, art, or just a guy being a little crazy in a hand-crafted canoe on dangerous waters, you’ll enjoy this.

Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound. “Sound is half the movie,” Steven Spielberg says. I never thought of it that way until watching this. It’s true, though. What would Star Wars be without the sound of the lightsaber? Or Jaws without that ominous “uh-oh, somebody’s about to become a human sardine” music?
