If You Can't Say Anything Nice

One of the joys of summer for me and him is going to the 4:00 Friday showing of whatever is playing at the semi-local independent theatre.  There are usually three options, so there is almost always at least one film that we want to see.

Before we went on vacation, "Certified Copy" was playing.  We hadn't heard a lot about it.  Juliette Binoche was wonderful.  The premise of the film was intriguing, and although it was not our particular cuppa tea, we could appreciate it.

Last week, despite my feelings about Woody Allen as a troll human being, we went to see "Midnight in Paris."  The scenery, of course, was gorgeous.  The premise was delightful.  Owen Wilson was splendid.  Kathy Bates as Gertrude Stein was terrific.  We really liked it and are still talking about it.

Yesterday we saw the much-touted "Tree of Life."  The popcorn was tasty.
