Try this one:
"Which one of you nuts has got any guts?"
On Netflix:
Pitch Perfect - If you are a fan of Glee like I am, you will love this movie. It is simply a vehicle for a cappella groups to perform, but perform they do and so well. It stars Anna Kendrick from Up in the Air. Not sure if she is doing her own singing, but it is pure entertainment and joy. Not much of a story, but what fun.
At Reston Community Center for the next two weekends:
Next to Normal - We had tickets to the Reston Players and I came down with a bug. I told Sy to go without me and here is his review of the performance. After reading the review, I believe I have major competition in writing. He, of course, is the writer in the family.
What would
you call a play that consisted of a bi-polar, suicidal wife, obsessed with the
death of her infant son, a daughter that felt all but forgotten by her parents
and a husband who lived in denial of a family living on the edge of crisis. The
producers of the production now playing at the Reston Community Center would
call it Next to Normal, but I’d call
it about as far away from “normal” as you can get. The plot features characters
that are extreme, making it difficult to relate to, that is assuming you have
any aspect of normal life in your family. Next to Normal is an operetta, set in
modern-day suburbia. The voices of the
cast members are surprisingly professional making it easier to enjoy a very
difficult storyline. This ambitious production
is worth seeing, but expect to leave somewhat shaken-up and feeling lucky that
your life was a lot closer to normal than some.
