I woke up this morning still thinking about the music on Bella. Towards the end of the trailer I posted below there is a song by The Rolling Stones called “Wild Horses”. Found some great covers of the song. Enjoy!

I was on my way to work last week and happened to catch the tail end of an interview with the actor Eduardo Verastegui and a local radio personality. Eduardo was talking about this upcoming movie called Bella. I knew the minute this interview was over it was a movie I wanted to see. He spoke about it so passionately, with conviction about the meaning behind this story, and how it changed him. Bella is inspired by a true story.
I made some time tonight to go see this beautiful film. The poster above calls it a “movie that goes beyond romance”. I have to admit I walked in thinking it was going to be a typical love story. I even went prepared to shed a few tears. It was a love story, but not a typical one. It truly depicted love in those around us. A brother, a mother, a stranger, a moment in time. It’s not often I go to the movies alone but this was one of those movies that being alone allowed me to really take in the story and message behind the movie.
There is no soundtrack to the movie, none that I was able to find, but the music was great. It ended with Rachel Yamagata’s Meet Me By The Water. I’ve uploaded below, which reminds me I need to write a post about her. Save that for another day. * I’ve added Cucurrucucu Paloma by Caetano Veloso, that was in the movie. I couldn’t find the Rosemary Clooney *(update found the RC version, took me for ever but it’s down below) version of Sway but here Sway by Michael Buble on Songza.
Eventually we’ll get all the tracks on here 
*update No MP3 For Alejandro Sanz and Shakira’s, “Te Lo Agradezco Pero No”, but here is the link to Youtube video and on Songza
If anyone else has seen or will see this movie let me know what you thought about it.

I saw the preview for this movie back when “ONCE” was in the theater. I’ve been waiting for it’s release ever since. I finally made some time to go see it this week. I’m not a huge fan of musicals but only if it’s done right then I’m in. To be completely honest I didn’t hate the movie but it did lack a sense of direction, or should I say plot. I can’t speak for all Beatles fan’s but I would say that even if you are a Beatles fan the music was a bit over kill. They could have done with a bit less songs a little more plot line. None the less I did enjoy the movie, it didn’t make me want to walk out, which I’ve been known to do in the past. I read a review on a blog that pretty much sums it up click here.
The actors where great but I did walk out thinking Jim Sturgess really sounds a lot like Ewan McGregor in this movie. You can find the movie soundtrack on iTunes.
I don’t think I have been this excited for a soundtrack in a very long time. Quite possibly the best. soundtrack. ever.
Due out Oct. 30th. Movie in theaters November 21st.
Taken from ioncinema.com : Formerly going by the title of “I’m Not There: Suppositions on a Film Concerning Dylan”, this is a film about the life of Bob Dylan. The film follows seven characters, each embodying a different aspect of Dylan’s life story and music. It’s the first biographical feature project to secure the approval of the pop culture icon. The film is about the life of Bob Dylan’s early days as a struggling folksinger, the rise to the forefront of the early-’60s folk scene, the controversial switch to rock, the motorcycle accident and the subsequent retreat from public view, and the latter-day de-emphasis of recording and concentration on the concert series known as the Never Ending Tour. Sounes somehow has uncovered some new information in that oft-scanned showbiz legend, mostly about Dylan’s childhood and his jealously guarded family life. Some of it actually provides further insight into his songs, particularly those about his wife, Sara. Sounes also blows the lid off Dylan’s heretofore unknown 1986 marriage to one of his backup singers. Each story expresses an aspect of Dylan’s mercurial personality and each story is to be filmed differently, in a style appropriate to its theme: Woody (Franklin) – an 11-year-old black boy, always on the run; Robbie – a womanising performer, always on the road; Jude (Blanchett) – the young androgynous rock star; John/Jack (Bale) – a folk idol who reinvents himself as an evangelist; Billy (Gere) – the famous outlaw, miraculously alive but growing old.
