RUN TO "VOLVER"

Pedro Almodovar's new film "VOLVER" opened at the Guild today and of course I dragged my sis to go with me. (I am a big fan of his movies - one of my favorite films of all time is All About My Mother - rent it. ) It is a stunning film. I love his movies - they are so intricate and intense. Kudos for Penelope Cruz - this is her most demanding role ever and the girl can ACT!!! She is amazing in this role and she deserves her recent Golden Globe Nomination. The film is in Spanish with subtitles. I highly recommend it. At heart, the film is about the bond of Mothers & Daughters - so take kleenex. Yet another brilliant independent film.

I haven't been to the Guild in Menlo Park in years - I forgot what a beautiful moviehouse it is. I think the last movie I am going to see this year is Dreamgirls. In the new year I want to check out The History Boys and Notes on a Scandal.

Alright everyone - I think this will be my last post in a few days so:
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

No More Wire Hangers,
