  • A Better Life at the IFI

    abetterlifeThis looks interesting and not just the storyline. ‘A Better Life’ tells the story of a Dad who crossed the border in to the U.S. and still strives to gives his son a better life then he had. Starring Demián Bichir and José Julián (in only his second film) , it’s set in East L.A. where the Dad sets up a gardening business.

    It’s directed by Chris Weitz, who also directed About a Boy and New Moon, which doesn’t rank high on my list, so I’m looking forward to seeing how Weitz can redeem himself. Seemingly, he was also a uncredited director on American Pie and has also been producer of In Good Company and A Single Man.

    A Better Life opens exclusively in the IFI in Dublin on 29th July 2011.

People, technology and the weather are normally the things to get up my goat. And time wasting. I always seem to have something to do and when something happens to invade on the schedule I’ve made in my head, it pisses me off.

    For example last week, while I was in the middle of an assignment a guy I know had to drop something to me for work. Everything had been decided beforehand, he dropped in a package and three hours later I was still trying to tell him it was ok, to go home and please don’t smoke in the house… I don’t think I’m that unreasonable but somethings just don’t make sense to me and irritate the crap out of me so I’ve decided to make a list..
