April 10

Florrie, Estelle, Carla and David correctly identified "The wind opens the sea." "God opens the sea with a blast of his nostrils." coming from The Ten Commandments.

Try this one:

"Just how bad is it." "It's a fire. " "All fires are bad."


Betsy send along this information for the people on the east coast:

I'm just sending you some info about a show opening at the Signature Theater on April 6th and it runs through June, called Title of Show. Both Erin (her daughter) and James, her fiancee are in this 4 person show and it's directed by James's twin brother Matthew, you should check it out. Title of Show is about two writers who are writing a musical, and thus need to come up with a title. It's a show dedicated to the process of creating a new musical, and was on Broadway for a long time.

Estelle sent this along.

I am not sure how much longer this play is running. Today, we went to the Round House Theatre to see "My Name is Asher Lev'"-Chaim Potak. We were lucky enough to go to a performance where the cast had a session with the audiences after the performance. It was a wonderful production and a very very good story.

On Netflix:

Post Grad - I must admit I ordered this film as I was a great fan of "Gillmore Girls" and Alexis Bledel played Rory. The movie is not worth seeing. You have seen it many times. Girl graduates from college with bright future and things don't quite work out and when they do she realizes she has been following the wrong dream all along. It is sad to see actors like Michael Keaton and Carol Burnett reduced to roles like these supporting ones.

On Netflix and Instantly on your Computer:

Summer Hours - This French foreign film tells the story of three siblings as they decide how to distribute their mother's extraordinary art collection and estate after her death. It stars Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling and Jérémie Renier. It is interesting to see how each of them deals with the task before them. Although beautifully shot, it was slow at times, predictable and an unsatisfying ending.

DWTS Recap:

I am glad that Buzz Aldrin was booted off last week. Kate has to go next! At this point in the competition I believe that Evan, Nicolle and Erin are the front runners. I am not as attached to the show and don't particularly think that Brooke Burke adds much to the show, but neither did Samantha Harris.

I am off to California on Wednesday so am not sure if I will get a chance to post any reviews until I return on April 22. Perhaps I'll catch some films on the flight out and back unless they start to charge ridiculous fees for that services as well.

The pickings are pretty slim at the movies, so take time to catch up on some of those movies you missed via Netflix.
