October Picks!




I think we are all getting back in the swing of things and getting our assignments watched...In a reasonable amount of time. Granted, we still haven't finished before the end of the month, but we're getting closer.

For our picks this month, something extraordinary happened. We only had to pick one film for each. Our first choices had not been viewed by anyone. Usually we have to go a few rounds before we find a 'winner,' but some how this month we were all on top of our game.

Melissa's Pick for Jessica and Lisa


Otto and Ana are kids when they meet each other. Their names are palindromes. They meet by chance,people are related by chance. A story of circular lives, with circular names, and a circular place (CĂ­rculo polar) where the day never ends in the midnight sun. There are things that never end, and Love is one of them.
