I have to admit that when I put this on my netflix queue I was thinking "Band" like Rock Band. I should've read the part more carefully that said "Egyptian Brass Police Band". So the first 15 minutes I was trying to decide if I should keep watching. Turns out I'm really glad I did.
The word charming is so old fashioned, but this movie was charming. Egyptian Band goes to Israel to play a concert. They get lost and spend the night with some hospitable Israelis. Some touching moments combined with and interesting plot and good music. What more could you ask for?

Persepolis
One of my favorite movies ever. An animated story of a girl growing up in Iran during the late seventies/early eighties.
Marjane is super cute as a young girl and has some all too familiar characteristics as a teenager. The animation is BEAUTIFUL. I would hang stills from this movie as art on my walls. I watch a lot of movies and this is getting added to my top movies list.

Garden State
Really took me way too long to watch this one.
Zach Braff seems so goofy that it's hard to believe he wrote this. I love the music. Lots of Postal Service. If you haven't seen it -- get on the bandwagon -- it's really good.
