Buenos Aires' Paula y Los Besos put out two EP's full of acoustic guitar pop. The besos on the first album are sweet, loving, and tender, while the besos on the second are bittersweet and melancholic. EP one features a cover of T. Rex’s “Cosmic Dancer” titled “Bailar,” while the sequel has two covers: Johnny Cash’s “Ring Of Fire” (“Pozo De Fuego”) and Robert Wyatt’s “Free Will And Testament” (“Libre”).

I didn't take in too many documentaries last week at the Newport Beach Film Festival, but one that I did see and enjoy was Love, Marilyn.
Drawing on never-before-seen personal papers, diaries and letters, director Liz Garbus works with acclaimed actors to evoke the multiple aspects of the real Marilyn. Elizabeth Banks, Ellen Burstyn, Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Jennifer Ehle, Lindsay Lohan, Lili Taylor, Uma Thurman, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood each appear on screen to enact Marilyn’s words.

This film is currently screening in select festivals. No word yet on official release date in the US.

One of the films I enjoyed at at the Newport Beach Film Festival was Greetings from Tim Buckley.

This film is currently screening in select theaters.
