It was a dark and stormy night - uh, I mean …
Well, I guess we could say we SORTA know what it feels like to be in a hurricane …
Since so many of us are waylaid in one way or another. and I have a LOT of work to do (both at the newsroom and cleaning up my own storm damage). So until things settle down, I’m just going to open this blog up to discussion about whatever you like. Tell me what you’ve seen, on the big screen or the small one. Or discuss whatever movie-related topic tickles your fancy.
I just recently watched Francois Truffaut’s Day for Night. If that’s not the best film about filmmaking, it’s certainly the most joyous. It’s an eye-opening look at just how intricate moviemaking is, even for a piece of schlock like the film depicted in Day for Night. Any film fan of any stripe owes it to themselves to see this one.
Next on my list Carousel, which I’m seeing because my dear friend Angela Allen, who co-wrote the Kit Kittredge: An American Girl review with me, will soon be playing the female lead, Julie Jordan, on stage in Florida. (Couldn’t resist, dear!)
And you?

I’m really sorry to hear about the damage back there. I was talking to my mom through a bunch of it yesterday and it was really scary. What have I watched lately? Gosh, absolutely nothing, really. I had planned to see Burn After Reading this weekend, but that never happened. I wish movie theaters opened early in the morning so that I could catch a show before my son gets home from Kindergarten. lol Anyway, I plan on seeing Eagle Eye this weekend. It looks like a exciting little romp. :)
