Sleepwalk with Me (2012)





Written, acted, directed and starring Mike Birbiglia, this is the movie adaptation of his stand up show. I remember the first time I heard Birbiglia on the radio; he's incredibly dry and neurotic and his telling of suffering through a severe sleepwalking illness is hilarious, sad, and ultimately endearing at the same time. Since I had already heard his clips, I felt as though I had already seen the movie, but regardless I found this funny, honest, and endearing. I hope that I can catch Birbiglia the next time that he's in Boston.

I really love his stand up.

Definitely recommended.

Catfish (2010)





I actually got sucked into the TV show and honestly couldn't help myself... Turns out this is an incredibly intriguing documentary with real, honest, and endearing people. If I recall, when this first came out, it was pitched as some kind of "thriller" which I think did it an injustice as it's a documentary about a man having an online relationship with someone (though Facebook) and then unraveling the truths about her. A really compelling watch.
