BUTCH’S BLOG – MOVIE REVIEW: “Wildwood”—an amazing film

I’m not normally a fan of animated films, and so was somewhat hesitant to go with my wife to see the new animated movie, “Wildwood”, that was playing at our cute little local movie theater. As usually happens, I was glad I followed Beverly’s lead. Even though the film was long, and I was squirming in my seat at times — more about a sketchy back than a loss of interest in what we were experiencing — I never checked out of the thoroughly immersive experience.

This Oregon Library Brings the Feeling of Walking Through a Forest Indoors

What if walking into a library felt a little like stepping into a forest? In Gresham, Oregon, that idea has taken shape through towering wooden columns, sunlit interiors, and spaces that gradually shift from lively gathering spots to quiet reading corners. Completed in 2026, East County Library brings the natural character of the Pacific Northwest into a public building, creating an environment where architecture, learning, and community life come together.

Two Seattle screenings of Portland-filmed feature ‘A Simple Machine’ already sold out

Filmed in Portland, A Simple Machine is a feature film about a young man struggling under debt who “makes a series of radically frugal lifestyle choices without telling his girlfriend that he’s going to fix up an old bike and go off the grid,” according to the film’s synopsis. The trailer looks great, with a grainy black-and-white style and intriguing dialog. “This is not just a ‘bike film,’” the promotional team said in an email to Seattle Bike Blog about the upcoming screening. “It’s a film where the bike is the philosophy.”

This Oregon Bookstore Fills An Entire City Block With Rooms Of New And Used Books And Is A Cozy Pick For 2027

Most bookstores get by with a few aisles. This Oregon one needs nine color-coded rooms and more than 3,500 subsections, so grabbing a map isn’t optional. It takes up an entire city block. The collection tops one million new, used, and rare books between the store and its online inventory, which is a lot of happily-ever-afters under one roof.
