A Bird of the Air

Why aren't we seeing more of Rachel Nichols?
After seeing the movie, I am sure we will be seeing more of Rachel Nichols and Jackson Hurst. The movie, "A Bird of the Air is a fresh new romantic comedy, loaded with palpable chemistry between the lead characters. Fiona (Rachel Nichols) helps unravel the mystery of Lyman's (Jackson Hurst) parrot, but more importantly unravels the mystery behind Lyman's propensity to avoid relationships altogether. Lyman goes to great lengths to do this. He works the graveyard shift for the transportation department (which coincidentally was interesting in itself, i.e., stuff you never knew that goes on all night) to avoid speaking to people altogether. Lyman still somehow manages to be totally hot and camara-ready despite the fact he is in an unappealing jumpsuit most of the movie. The movie gives us hope that there are interesting and intense love stories waiting to be uncovered even in the most of ordinary of landscapes. I also happen to have enjoyed the lighting in this movie. It's vibrant...

Insightful and Delightful!
Have you ever wondered about those wise, earthly creatures that out-live humans? If so, check out this film!

A Natural High; How Refreshing
These days, it's a rare film that forgoes special effects and car crashes, relying on nothing more than a good story and the actors who tell it. But Margaret Whitton (I think she's a first time director as I was unable to find anything else by her) has done just that. This little gem-of-a-film somehow found me and won my heart. It's a bit of fairytale, love story and magic realism, blended together and seasoned with heart and warmth. I'm hoping my description hasn't made it sound too "cute," although it would make for a fine, night at the movies with a date. I won't reveal anything about the storyline for fear of robbing you of the pleasure of watching it unfold.
