at matthew's suggestion, i saw "the next three days" with russell crowe .wow, what a ride that was! i don't watch stuff filled with suspension all that often, because my heart is somewhere my throat. but if it's well done, it can be worth it. this one was well done. russell crowe plays a loving husband and father who suddenly is shocked by the police arresting his wife for murder. did she do it or not? we don't know, but she goes to jail, and russell is faced with how far he'll go to get her out. if you want some good old fashioned edge of your seat entertainment this is it.

oh helen, poitier is awesome. watch "guess whose coming to dinner" with katharine hepburn, spencer tracey, katharine's niece (sorry, i forget her name), and syney poitier. it was spencer's last movie, and it's a great feature of poitier!

Just watched No Way Out with Sidney Poitier. I realised that it's the first Poitier movie I've ever seen. I thought it was quite incredible and stands up even to this day.

helen mirren is so good in everything, isn't she? i really liked her in "the queen". i think screen actors are particularly good when you can see them thinking. and she's so good at that.

a couple of things. one, the movie "the debt" is at the theaters now. I hope to see it soon cause I like the idea of it and the thought of watching helen mirran and others in the film. take note that a 1998 version of this film is being shown "on demand", Comcast/xfinity. also, another film "win win", Paul giamati, et al, also "on demand". liked them both.

Ha! Love it Matthew + Lisa. Matthew, I love the way you put things. Poetic and playful but also very relevant and insightful.

my new motto: carpe diem or you'll be a fool holding a bowling ball..:-))

thanks Helen. I was tired when i put that together, but in the end, I more or less said what I intended. when it comes to so many things, safety pinning words to an idea/emotion/conception, can be like bowling. you wait for the feeling to come over you that says: 'move toward the lane, go now, your chakras are at their best levels at this instant. it's not gonna get any better in the next few seconds, besides, people are waiting, if you linger/hover any longer, you will just be a fool holding a bowling ball' mk
