Movie of the week

Aaron and I are now excited to be NetFlix suckers. We got our first movie this week, and I must say it was a winner. It is called The Station Agent and it was a recommendation from one of Aaron's old co-workers. I woke up thinking about it the next morning, which for me is usually a good sign. I would say that the movie is first about acceptance of self and one another and secondly about community (which is currently Aaron's and my favorite "buzz" word). At first glance it seems so much easier to live life alone, to do our own thing and not be bothered by others, but when it comes down to it...we need each other and we can't help but to bump up against others. I love how the relationships in this film "haphazardly" develop. I highly recommend this movie, but keep in mind that this is definitely an Aaron and Kate movie...a little slow at times and a little on the odd side, but beautifully filmed with a powerful story.

Also...one other movie that we watched last week should be noted as a winner as well - Stranger than Fiction. If you haven't seen this yet, it is a must see for sure. Aaron is always thinking sermon illustrations when we watch this movie because it has the Gospel Story splashed throughout.

Since we now have a great excuse to watch more movies...do you have any good movie suggestions? I would love to hear about some of your favorites. Let us know so we can put it on our queue!!
