dear zachary: a letter to a son about his father


i'm pretty into documentaries, but i thought this one was gonna be lame. i mean, the title is cheesy and the summary on netflix sounded sorta like another episode of dateline or something. i am telling you....this movie.....breathe....i cried for at least a half an hour straight. i laughed, i was angry, scared, excited, disgusted, irate, proud, moved even....seriously. i went into it knowing next to nothing about the story. i'd suggest anyone planning to watch it to do the same. but beware, it's a heart wrencher....even for a stale, cynical, wry old gal like myself.

  2. okay. so I know we only met that one time at Carnitas when Katie was in town, but I ran Wasatch with the Clifford family this past weekend and Katie told me the update that you guys were expecting a little girl and then said something about your blog (hope you don't mind my stalking!). anyway i had to comment b/c i actually posted about this movie on my blog. oh my! i am not a big emoter, but i totally cried; i had the worst headache from trying to hold back tears. - Corey
