i mentioned in this post i love "best of" lists. i also love highlight reels. so i decided to make my own highlight reel for 2011. it was my first time using imovie, and there's always room for improvement but it was surprisingly easy and i can't wait to make more videos!
without further ado...my 2011 highlight reel!
i missed setting my dvr to record 'pearl jam twenty' on friday night. booooo. does anyone know if it will be on again?

while i was searching kcts 9's site for information i came across a short documentary about the seattle music scene called "something in the water." "something in the water" aired after pearl jam twenty and the whole thing is now online. if you're interested in seattle music, or just music in general, check it out. some of my favorite kexp djs are in it too!

love. i really want to see that movie. i keep seeing previews and normally i get annoyed seeing the same preview over and over, but for some reason, not with this one. the scene where emma stone asks ryan gosling to take his shirt off and says he's photoshopped - kills me, every time! if you haven't seen the trailer you can watch here.

the other week i was very fortune to hear christy turlington burns speak about her documentary 'no woman, no cry.' christy's documentary film covers maternal health and follows at-risk pregnant women in four parts of the world - Tanzania, Bangladesh, Guatemala and United States. the film premieres on the OWN network on may 7th. mark your calendar/set your dvr.
in addition to what i'm sure will be an amazing film, an accompanying cd has also been released. christy created the cd with starbucks and it's made up of tracks around of the theme of motherhood and all the songs are by mothers. i bought a copy yesterday and it's amazing. the gwyneth paltrow song is my favorite, i love a good cover.

and $8 from every cd will be donated to CARE to support maternal health worldwide. one of my colleagues wrote a great blog about how the cd came together and he has nothing but wonderful things to say about christy. it's very refreshing and lovely to see someone using their name for something so good.
saw the black swan last night... whoa, intense. but so good. the black swan dance was unreal.

when my friends think of sound of music they must think of me because i've had a lot of them text, email and facebook me about the cast of sound of music being on oprah today. i can't wait! {i had tear in my eye just watching the preview. it's a dream come true for me!}

over the weekend i saw waiting for superman and i have to tell you, go see it. it's an excellent film that follows various students through america's public education system. it's interesting because you see a lot of different sides but there isn't one that's the clear winner. although geoffrey canada is pretty amazing and a true inspiration.
if you have a free afternoon i highly recommend checking it out.

to quote a dear friend of mine, 'the movie previews are worth at least $4 dollars of the ticket price.' i couldn't agree more. lucky for me i got my moneys worth this time. such amazing previews. in no particular order the movie i'm excited for are:
