i'm the last person in america to have seen "eat pray love". i'm late, it seems, on all movies. however i think a good movie is either timeless or it's not. i had been looking forward to this movie, because i enjoy elizabeth gilbert very much. i hadn't read the book, but i loved the premise. when i started to watch it, i truly was angry. i thought julia roberts was terrible, and she is rarely if ever terrible. i thought the movie made no sense. i thought the dialogue was like nothing i'd heard out of real people's mouths. however , i continued to watch. the scenes in italy were more fun but also a cliche of the american girl in italy. julia just had no credibiity of any sensuality whatsoever. the quality being learned by the character. still i continued to watch. and i found myself thinking and becoming more introspective. and by the end of the film, i was , in fact, touched. so i can't give this a thumbs down. if it were that awful, i wouldn't have been glad i watched it or a better person for having watched it. but i think i may be. so now ...to fix the bad spots of the movie, i'm going to have to read the book!

ohhhhhhh i highly recommend "Down Low" to you guys! it's a great little film starring Robert Duvall. He's a crusty old dude who cut himself off from the world for the last 40 years and suddenly wants a funeral party. He wants everyone in the town to come and tell stories about him. Bill Murray is the undertaker....and it's a GOOD human story. Rent this one, guys!

while visiting a friend we watched a video I had never heard of that I think should be seen by all women...

Iron Jawed Angels....if you do not already know what it took to get the vote for women you will after you see this film..very good and very thought provoking.....

i think we MUST have comedians as hosts for the oscars! and i think we should never underestimate the skill of hosting!

Congratulations to everyone involved in "The King's Speech"...an excellent book, screenplay, and story. A story of courage, friendship, and the triumph of the human spirit.  A story about real royalty being real people and of real people digging out a touching story and persevering for years. Excellent art!

I found this in the library and enjoyed it a lot. I don't know if it's Oscar winning project or not in the minds of the "Academy." They tend to like very high brow films, right? These days I can't watch 4 hours of anything so I'll just catch the highlights tomorrow on the Net. You too or will you watch?
