Keri Russell - The Waitress

Seems this is the time of the year to get caught up with all the movies you said you would see and didn’t. This habit is related to the Academy Awards, basically because I have difficulty in being judgemental (a sin, but like chocolate a necessity) if I’ve not seen any of the movies. What always happens is that I find older movies that I overlooked like the The Waitress a film that filled my need for a lighthearted, cynical and comical conclusion to this past week. I also came across Amazing Grace, which brought me back to the significance of inauguration of President Obama this past Tuesday. Albert Finning who portrays John Newton a man who is personally tormented by his contribution to slavery. Newton is not the main character but maybe the most important as it relates present day history.
