Movies-extravaganza @ Prairie View!

This week is shoot week once again for myself and my fellow photogs/classmates. Something to note about shoot week: it's not spring break. In photography school... shoot week is the equivalent of "reading week" for university students... except here you actually "read the books" (ie. not a lot of time for sun, sand and flippy floppies!!) We're out with our cameras shooting constantly and when were not shooting were writing, thinking, researching and dreaming photography. Some may argue that we even eat and breathe... but I'll leave that up for debate. Needless to say, there's not a lot of relax time, so the student council organized a few movies for us to watch. The choices for movies were as follows: O' Brother Where Art Thou?, Pecker, One Hour Photo, I Am Cuba, Born Into Brothels and Manufactured Landscapes. We chose three movies each, got our "tickets" (credit aO Ao, thanks lady) and thus we all reunited for those few hours in the dark of the "PV Theaters" with our popcorn, candy, chocolate, chips and pop from the PVT concession stand (Thanks mainly to Alicia for this!! She was definitely the driving force!). We laughed, we cried, we had no idea what was going on at times. If only we had known russian to save us from the latter. All in all, good times were had.

Check back over the next few days, I'll be posting reviews for my movies!

Oh ya this part was so good,
the song of sirens.
where they met the girls.
Its impressive how the changed the colors and the look. If you watched the part before the movie, they show how it looked before the edit it.
