Uncategorized Bruce Cockburn, John Wick, Keanu Reeves, statement jewelry 3:17 pm
A little bird told me that Keanu is making John Wick 4 in New York City as we speak –so I felt I should clue my readers into this information. I don’t know how long it will take to release but keep your eyes and ears open. I don’t know him well – but I can tell you he is sensitive and gentlemanly from the limited contact I have had. I’m in love………
This quote is quite astute.
Bruce Cockburn
I have appreciated Bruce’s music and poetry for many years. When I lived in Boulder, Colorado I went to every concert in Denver and Boulder that he had. Bruce is a great poet , maybe even a prophet and musician. I also, after moving to Portland ,Oregon saw him at the zoo (at the end he said) “Let’s give the elephants a rest ” I think they were vocalizing. The concert at Tulagi in Boulder was very memorable – you felt real close to the performers. Rosanne Cash opened the show. I hope he’s still performing.
Uncategorized Academy Award Nominations, Anton Chekhov, Drive my car, statement jewelry, Uncle Vanya 5:07 pm
This is a very different film by Western standards -but it is also very moving – a Japanese film. And it is interesting that there is a lot of references to a Russian Chekhov play – Uncle Vanya. It’s a play within a play since the main character is directing Uncle Vanya at a Japanese repertory theater. There are a couple of nominations for this in this year’s Academy Awards. The title refers to the girl who is an employee of the theater who drives the main character around – the theatre director. The catharsis at the end is worth the price of admission. There is definitely a build to an explosion of emotion in the final scene.

Christine Baranski’s portrayal of the dowager aunt stood out the most to me-what a departure from the Good Wife and the Good Fight! The creative mind behind Downton Abbey is also behind this and the quality shows. Cynthia Nixon is also branching out from her more contemporary roles. It’s amazing to me what chameleons actors are. Definitely worth watching.
Uncategorized 1883, beads, handmade, Sam Elliot, statement jewelry 5:41 pm
Sometimes I think we have it pretty rough in the present day what with Covid and all . But I’m glad I’m not living in 1883. Rudimentary birth control- Rampant disease – The role of women was much more limited – travel across country was on horse or wagon train – Bandits and Native Americans after those who had a lot to deal with just to cross a river safely. Sam Elliot is very very good as the melancholic wagon train master – I also like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and Isabel May. Isabel does a very good job of showing a budding woman with a mind of her own who can wrangle cattle with the best of them.

.
Kenneth Branagh is a brilliant director. And as I’ve said before, he’s a welcome visitor in my teepee. (Old Ladies Joke). He has done so much – acting, directing, Shakespeare that communicates. Evidentally he appears to have grown up in Belfast , Northern Ireland in the time of the “Troubles”. But this is not all violence and gore. There is definitely some of that. .But there is plenty of comic relief. It comes across as real life. Judi Dench is incredibly good as Grandma. And Grandpa was also very warmly portrayed.
And I must say I love the Irish brogue – wee this and wee that. Isn’t anything large? Well I was hugely entertained – it’s in black and white but it didn’t seem to be wrong. See it!
The young actor who portrays him growing up is also brilliant. This movie just rings true. Even in the worst of times there are times of relief with humor and high jinks.

I thought the acting in “scenes from a marriage” was almost too painful to watch -but I must say the last 2 episodes of the “Morning Show” were definitely of that character. It hit really close to home. The death of the past announcer felt like a death in the family. Jennifer Aniston is very skilled at drawing the viewer in to her problems and I mean the last episode with Aniston’s character talking directly to the audience roasting from a fever that was Covid 19 – well, it left me speechless. Not too many shows are focusing on the Pandemic – but this one really dealt with it most effectively.

Tom Hanks continues his record of excellence in “Finch”. I’m really not a fan of armageddon type films -but in this time of Pandemic this film rings true. Also Tom always adds a touch of humanity to the proceedings – his truest friend is his dog. But he creates another friend in his creation of a robot whom he teaches to drive and to take care of his dog. The ending is sad since Tom’s character doesn’t make it to San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge. One of my very favorite places
Uncategorized Andie MacDowell, bead weaving, bead work, hand crafted jewelry, lampwork, maid, statement jewelry 1:34 pm
This is a great series with a newcomer at the helm. This is a woman’s film. I was happy to see that the Puget Sound area has a network of places for people who are domestically abused physically and mentally. It also sheds light on mental health problems of the homeless. It is very well written , acted and directed. This maid is very determined to see her daughter protected and cared for. The portrayal of the “maid” is the actual daughter of Andie MacDowell , Margaret Qualley. I know mom must be very proud of her accomplished daughter. Speaking of Andie MacDowell – her portrayal of the Bi Polar mother in the piece is quite accomplished also. It is definitely a stretch from her past work. Accomplished, earthy and over the top.
