Burbank Soup

I’ve rented quite a few good movies lately. And when I say “thoroughly enjoyed” I’m not exaggerating.

Wall-E
I’d forgotten how magical Disney movies were. This one had me at hello. It’s about a little robot who falls in love with another little robot. It’s got an environmental message and pokes fun at us fat, lazy humans in such a way that only Disney can do.
Anyone from 8 to 80 will thoroughly enjoy this movie.

The Duchess

This is a period film starring Keira Knightly and Ray Fienes. Ray Fienes was nominated for a Golden Globe for his portrayal of the heartless Duke. Keira Knightly is wonderful as the young, vibrant Gorgianna and as the older, stronger Duchess.This is a biography of Gorgianna Spencer, who marries into a loveless marriage and sacrifices everything for her children.I thoroughly felt her pain, and you will too.

Interestingly, Gorgianna Spencer is the  Princess Diana Spencer’s great great aunt.

Burn After Reading

By the Cohen Brothers, so, as you would expect, a dark, intelligent, funny and well written drama. Starring Francis McDermott, Brad Pitt and John Malkovich-what more could you possibly ask for?

I can only assume that John Malkovich had it in his contract that he would not learn any lines because his only line is “what the f*ck” “what the f*ck over and over agin.

Otherwise, I enjoyed it.

Enjoy your weekend.
