Guess George won't be checking the new lists.
In America, this touching film of haunted lives in Hell's Kitchen, was as wonderful last night as it was the week before. The little Bolger sisters are amazing as Christy and Ariel and Paddy Considine and Samantha Morton, the parents haunted by the death of their son, are heartbreaking. Perhaps it's too many memories of dead friends and so many memorial services that affects me, but Djimon Hounsou as the dying Mateo haunts me. His relationship with Ariel is so beautifully written and played.

i loved this film. Samantha Morton should do more.
Sounds like I need to see this sometime.
When should a performer feel complimented about a smattering of boos for his character during the curtain call? When the role is mean Mr. Potter, played to a tee by Tom Birkeland. Being successfully and relentlessly bad is a challenge. Mr. Birkeland's turn as Old Man Potter was exceptionally well done.
Very nice enthusiastic review for IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

DR CHAS SMITH - I have missed something....who is Kristi?
Birthday wishes to Ginny's Mom!
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that I saw last night in IMAX 3-D was great! You don't need to know anything about Harry Potter to understand the movie. They mention Dumbledore and Hogwarts once each (I think), and they explain the term "muggles," but otherwise, it was an independent story set after The Great War (WWI). The special effects were very good, of course, and the acting was really good, too. The only problem that I had was that Eddie Redmayne tended to mumble a bit. Everyone else ennunciated well, but Eddie had some moments that were difficult to understand. Otherwise, I recommend it.

I watched the opening episode of WESTWORLD last night on HBO.
Very well done, good cast, but the storyline is rather convoluted.
Anybody else watching this? Your thoughts?
Today is Mom's 98th birthday, so after we changed clothes I gathered up some appropriate paper plates and napkins here at home and Richard and I stopped at Kroger for some festive cupcakes and an amaryllis planting kit and went to visit. We had a little party, I planted the amaryllis bulb, and we had a nice visit.

Got some running around to do this morning, and a tree to decorate this evening..
Vixmom: Sadly, the true Christmas spirit exemplified by the aluminum tree with musical turning base and color wheel has to be limited to those years when it can be displayed in a room with controlled access as regards the feline population.
Vixmom, I don't believe this theater records their shows for educational purposes.

It sounds like a lovely celebration.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DEAR MOTHER!

My father was always asking how old he was, and was always surprised by the answer. He would laugh and say "I am an alter cocker". :)

Thanks for the report. I always wonder about mumblers. Isn't there someone listening to them to say "speak so you can be heard!!!"

I know! And the worst is when the music soundtrack is louder than the mumbling. I hate that. :P

Watching McCabe and Mrs. Miller now with the commentary on. Altman wanted Warren Beatty to mumble to go with the fumble of the character. He dropped it by the second day.
And let's orchestrate some vibes for Elmore, too.
Happy birthday yo Ginny's mom! Wow, 98!!

Thankfully I will not get to see Hairspray Live and I hope to miss any other fill in the blank Live that may come along. I'll be having a grand time doing the Richard Sherman event.

Well, I enjoy the score, but I have never seen the show.
This show is certainly putting me in the Christmas spirit.
