coming from Good Will HuntingTry this one:
“I don’t understand. All my life I’ve been waiting for someone and when I find her, she’s … she’s a fish.
In Theaters:
Forty Two - What a lovely movie! The story retells how Jackie Robinson became the first African American to play in the major leagues. Branch Richey, played by Harrison Ford, was instrumental in making this happen. Ford is wonderful in the role. It is amazing how far we have come in 65 years, but there is always plenty for us to go. The actor playing Robinson was unknown to me, but as Sy said that was good as you focused on the person, not the actor. I believed he graduated from Howard University in DC. For an inspirational movie, see this one.
On Netflix"
To Rome With Love - This is your typical Woody Allen movie. Not as good as Midnight in Paris, but interesting just the same especially if you have been to Rome. Many stories take place at the same time all in Rome. What I expected was they would all come together in the end, but that did not happen. A star studded cast with Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Penélope Cruz, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg, Greta Gerwig, Ellen Page, Fabio Armiliata, Alessandra Mastronardi, Alison Pill and Carol Alt.
Reread:
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter - I had never read this novel before, but it was the classic read my book group chose for this month. The author wrote this when she was I believe 23 and shows her insight into the human soul. Happy book - no, Thoughtful book - yes. I've put the film on my Netflix list to see how it was adapted for the screen. Alan Arkin and Sondra Locke were nominated for Academy Awards for this roles; neither won. It is a good book to either read for the first time or reread.
Haven't been to the movies or seen many Netflix for some time, but now that most of my TV programs are finished for the season, I will catch up on my movie viewing.
