From The Desk Of Spirit Family Reunion: “Nacho Libre”

When the folks in Spirit Family Reunion raise their voices in song, they deliver an inspiring message. Their mostly acoustic approach combines elements of rock with hints of bluegrass and country music. They have a feel that approaches the fervent emotions of gospel music, but their messages stay grounded in the secular world. Banjo player Maggie Carson will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new feature on the band

Carson: Jared Hess’ 2006 follow-up to Napoleon Dynamite was critically panned. But I can say this is easily one of my favorite films. With only a few friends who agree with me, I am usually trying to convince people to watch it two times, It’s hard to pick up all the nuance your first time watching. (No, I am not kidding.) Beautifully shot, with amazing dialogue, and a wonderful cast, the film is easily as re-watchable as other greats like Lebowski and Wayne’s World. I’d like to think that one day this film will get the praise it deserves or find it’s way into the cult world of the midnight movie, but I doubt it. Here’s hoping.
