Favorite Foreign Movie

I recently rented 'Abre Los Ojos' again from Netflix and was just amazed at how well done this story of love, loss, dreams vs. reality and the nature of perception was done. The film was remade into the Tom Cruise vehicle 'Vanilla Sky', but despite being a nearly scene for scene copy of the Spanish film, something was lost in the translation and the original just seems to be much more powerful and involving to me.

Favorite Magazine

Wired.

It just has the best combination of in-depth articles about serious subjects and short, snarky features to make for a really interesting read for both the times when I want to invest in some serious reading time and times when I just feel like browsing a few quick short features.

Reschutti Chocolates

I've blogged about this before, but I thought it was worth mentioning again that I think the best chocolates I have ever had are Reschutti Chocolates, who are based out of San Francisco and make specialty chocolates in flavors such as Mint Tea, Lemon Verbana, Kona Coffee, Fleur del Sel, Star Anise and Pink Peppercorn, Tarragon Grapefruit, Cardomom Nougat, and varietals such as Columbian, Venezuelan, and Ecuadorian. They are truly gourmet delights and worth the premium prices.

Pirates

I've really enjoyed the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy. I intend to see At World's End again soon, as I've heard it's even better on repeat viewings.

Here's an interesting music video, which I got from Eschaton:
