"Once"

Tonight I saw "Once" - a beautiful story with flawed characters, a simple music filled story about two people. It's honest and it's fantastic. It's a breath of fresh air from Pirates, Spiders and Ogres that have invaded this summer in the theaters. There are no computer graphics, no visual effects. Just pure acting, music and great story telling. If you were/are a fan of The Commitments, this film could actually pick up where it left off, following the guitar player (Outspan in the "The Commitments"; Guy in "Once") where he is left off - on the street with nothing but his guitar.

Go see this movie - it will give you back a little faith in the movie making process. No - it's not Hollywood and so this can't speak as a saving grace for Hollywood, but I am happy to say that this movie was a film financed by my new company, Summit Entertainment, a fact I found out tonight after seeing the movie.
