ahora vamos a contar

recent movies i loved: quinceañera and talladega nights: the ballad of ricky bobby. the former is a great film that reminded me and a fellow teacher friend of our students (back when i was in middle school... she's a high school teacher). the latter is just plain kickass, and i am trying to convince my snobby arty friends of this. i'm not a fan of dodgeball, anchorman, or old school, but i do think will farrell is funny and this movie totally met all of my expectations. plus there's a mos def cameo, and you all know i looooooove me some mos def!

upcoming movie i can barely wait for: the namesake. based on jhumpa lahiri's stunning novel, one of my favorite books of all time.
