wongie redux: ONCE - the movie


fans of my music world know that i've pretty much decided ONCE to be one of my favorite films of 2007. though i hyped the film a few months prior to it's release, i still tell everyone that this is the movie to see this summer.

so much so, the other day i dragged a few friends with me to watch the film again (to their surprise since it's been ages that i've actually PAID to go see a film) and on second viewing i have to say ONCE still holds that sweet gentle place in my heart.

maybe it's the simplicity of the film, or the fact that i have similar feelings about life and music, but i'm not the only one. currently the #1 soundtrack on itunes and doing some serious box office on just 127 screens (3 million yo!), it's great to know that the film is resonating with a larger audience!

check out some new items posted by the ONCE folk.

ONCE OST - glen hansard - say it to me now [link 2]
[the song that starts off the film. sigh...]


ONCE OST - glen hansard & marketa irglova - when your minds made up [link 2]
[i still get goosebumps when he hits that crazy high note in the middle of the song. but what's even more amazing is that glen is playing the same guitar he does in the movie!]
