My local movie theater showed a film last Tuesday called "The Yankels," an indie from 2010 that won 3 Film Festival awards. It's a sort of "Bad News Bears" for a Jewish audience: a Yeshiva gets to be part of intramural baseball and brings in an ex-ML outfielder who's doing community service after being jailed for 3 DUIs.  It's pretty funny. Unfortunately, they didn't publicize it enough in nearby Borough Park (the Hassidic community), so they didn't get enough audience to justify a full run of movie showings. I'm glad I went because that was the only one.

This looks good...."The Butler"...the Civil Rights Movement told through the story of a butler at the White House...

i re-watched two fabulous movies yesterday...both more than worth your time if you haven't seen them or haven't seen them in ages. "on golden pond" is even better after all these years. henry fonda, jane fonda, and katharine hepburn work magic in a sweet movie about family and senior love. it has dialogue like a play but scenery like a movie. ...and "erin brockovich" does not get old. julia roberts is a down to earth gal who helps a crusty lawyer help thousands of people affected by a  contaminated water supply. both movies make your soul feel better.

Some of you might be interested in this journey with Emilio Estevez and dad Martin Sheen...

i had never seen "midnight in paris", but i did last night. several of you had recommended this film to me. what a romantic little jewel! it wasn't a complicated movie or a life changing movie, but it was a nice valentine worth the time. it's a woody allen film where the main character is a writer who travels in time in paris in the 20's to hang out with his favorite artists.

i never saw the movie "kinsey" when it came out, but i got to see it last night. i didn't think i'd like something like that. i thought it would be too dark or strange. but it was actually a good movie with some very good acting in it. laura linney  and liam neeson are particularly good. neeson plays professor kinsey, and the film explores the making of the kinsey report. it's amazing how little the average person knew about sex before his research. so it's a bit odd, but worth a view...if only for the history of it.

I hear this is funny, guys. Two smart strong women who are funny and some men who appreciate them!

it definitely grabs the senses, visually, auditory.  Lots of music, on-screen big-party activity, etc.  I can understand that somebody might get a headache.  I just went with the flow and liked it after I found the humor in it.
