Yay! Movies!

I've had this movie on my TiVo for ages, and I've played it many times while doing other things. I've been a Franka Potente fan ever since I saw her in The Bourne Identity, and I've liked Elijah Wood, too (even before he was Frodo). What kept me playing it over and over, I think, is the soundtrack. I've had a sticky note on my monitor for ages that says "Soundtrack: All I Want." No luck, though. Even searching for the alternate title of the movie, Try Seventeen, I couldn't find a soundtrack CD available. Last night, I searched for individual artists, and found a few at CD Baby. I bought Evan Olsons' "Red" which apparently has songs from a lot of TV shows and movies in addition to two from this one. john gold's "the eastside shake" is also available at iTunes, so I'll probably download a few songs there instead of buying the entire CD. IMDB has the list of songs from the movie.

The movie is cute. Wood's character, Jones Dillon, moves into a room in a big house where Potente and Mandy Moore live. A love triangle forms among Wood, Potente and Moore, and light romantic comedy ensues. Aaron Pearl is a delight as the fourth house member who befriends Wood and helps him deal with crazy furniture delivery guys and figuring out the girls. Deborah Harry even has a small role as the crazy delivery guys' mother.

Yay! for All I Want!
