November 15

It looks like my quotes are not generating a lot of interest so I will give it a rest for a while.

By the way, the last one was from Cool Runnings

In Theaters:

Enough Said - This delightful romantic comedy is a refreshing look at romance between middle aged people looking for love after being burned by their first marriages.  Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandolfini play the leading roles with Cattherine Keener and Toni Collette in supporting roles.  It is a story of letting go and finding new love with a twist.  We left the movie smiling, but a little sad knowing this was Gandolfini's last role.  For a charming movie, see this one.  :-):-)O:-)


On Netflix:

Stands Up Guys - This was a change of pace for me - not a foreign or Black movie.  The movie stars Al Pacino and Chirstopher Walken with co-star Alan Arkin.  Julianna Margules has a small role as do other actors I did not know.  It is a comedy that follows the three former criminals' lives after Val (Pacino) gets out of prison.  The ending was a little Butch Cassidy.  It was fun seeing these actors relate as older citizens.  The scene in the pharmacy was really funny.  For an enjoyable movie, put this on your list.  :-):-)

On Netflix and Instant Streaming:

Populaire - I had seen the coming attractions for this film and when I saw it was on streaming, I thought it would be an excellent choice for my AAUW movie group and I was correct.  This delightful film is a throw back to the Rock Hudson Doris Day films of the 50's.  All I can say is that we have come a long way from being the obedient secretary who only wears dresses, hats and hose and types on a manual typewriter.  The film is just delightful.  An added bonus is the music that plays throughout the film.  It brought back many memories and put a smile on my face.  For a lovely film, see this one.  :-):-)O:-)

DWTS:

I cannot believe that ElizabethBerkley was eliminated.  She was such a graceful dancer.  How can Bill Engvall and Leah Remeni still be on??  Jack Osbourne is doing an admirable job, but I think in the final analysis Corbin Bleu will come out on top.
