Jiro Dreams of Sushi

For my first movie of the week, I am going to talk about a documentary that has been recently buzzed about. Jiro Dreams of Sushi is an American documentary directed by David Gelb. It follows the 85-year old sushi extraordinaire and perfectionist, Jiro Ono. He owns the prestigious sushi bar, Sukiyabashi Jiro, which people around the world visit and reserve for months in advance. This movie is a tribute to the rare art of resilience and hard work and the different perspectives of parental guidance and love. If you have Netflix, you are in luck because this 1 hour and 23 minute slice of authentic and beautifully captured film is available there. After watching this film, I hope you, just as I did, really look at the way you view your own goals and how far are you willing to go to finally say those three magic words: "I did it."

Unless of course we found another planet to inhabit. Back to Christopher Nolan's new film, Interstellar stars Matthew Mcconaughey and Anne Hathaway. Earth is dying and Mcconaughey and Hathaway are astronauts who are on a mission to surpass the human limitation of space travel. I was blown away by the effects and the clarity of trailer. The people behind the scenes who make these amazing effects (not just this movie, mo...
