rednoW Favorites 2008
This time of year is all about remembering what has been and getting ready for the change that will be. In a year that has had "change" as its montra, we here at rednoW are looking back and remembering the things that have changed us through the wonderful expereince of wonder.
We aren't making a ‘Best of 2008' list in the sense that this is an exhaustive list of all things good - it is simply what we happened to engage with in 2008 that has caused us to think more about what is going on in this world, in our lives and the reality behind it all.
Films
Few things cultivate wonder in us more than the marriage of story, images and song. This year brought many films that made us laugh, cry, call the White House, love people better, and otherwise contemplate our lives. If you are looking for a way to bring a little wonder into your rental cue, allow us to make a few recommendations.
Compiled by the rednoW team (and friends), our Films of Wonder 2008 are listed by US release date rather than some ranking of 'greateness' - if they made the list, we think they are worth your time and money.* But do check back in the next week, we will announce our rednoW film (and album) of the year.
Think we missed something? Tell us what and why....we're all ears.
* NOTE: There are few "late releases" (don't you love how they wait until the end of year to release?) we have not seen... who knows, we might add some.
