Catching up and just recently got to see the “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and was so utterly convinced by Noomi Rapace’s performance that when learning that she was being interviewed on that days Charlie Rose’s Program, I had no clue as to who she was. Hope that Charlie and Hulu don’t mind the love but hear is the interview. If by chance you don’t find it here look for it on Hulu.
art21 presents on PBS Oct. 21“Anything is Possible” William Kentridge.
In trying to make sense of what is going on around me and inside of me, I forget that the world doesn’t owe me an explanation nor does it owe me an outcome that I will be satisfied with. Artist live in a realm of make believe where anything is possible and nothing needs to be explained or justified. William Kentridge provides a reminder that it is not necessary for us to know and understand everything. It’s all make believe and we should enjoy what can be enjoyed.
With all the viewing media options available to us, It is my wish that we don’t lose sight of PBS and there continued efforts to help educate us. Thanks PBS.
Laura Linney - The Big C
The Big C, Mondays on Showtime with the “C” meaning cancer, is humorous look at life when faced with our on reality. This series so far has clicked on on cylinders, cast, writing, and production. There is not the pity focus nor is there bucket list gaiety. Some times the things you miss out on are some of the simplest we can imagine.
Obviously the show is not about Cancer, it is deeper then that. It is about the appreciation for what we can still do, regardless of the time. It’s fun.

The movie is about the ultimate dream. An ad agencies last wish. It’s Apples’ Success. 
What makes this movie so successful is that what it proposes is what we all deep down want to be able to do (that is 3 levels down). For the theater operators tuning in–Making the sound as loud as you can does not make the movie better, just loud. Beside Inception gives you a lot to think about and for me that is all I need to be entertained.
Also Ellen Page is always so smart.

Pixar was born a little over 30 years ago and their way of creating animated characters has
almost supplanted the then revolutionary animation done by the old Walt Disney company
Ratatouille
(Pixar is now an important of the new Walt Disney Corp). Even the rodent has been replaced. In celebration of the nearly 25 years of making animated movies the Oakland Museum is exhibiting over 500 works of art done by the artist of Pixar.
My favorite of the films is Ratatouille. From Micky to Remy it’s the mouse that gets you.

“I am Love” was playing at a movie house not far from home (10 min) this past Thursday and incredibly was no-longer playing on Friday. Frantic, I repeated my Google search, expanding the mileage from home up to 100 miles hoping that it was playing somewhere in the county. Luckily we did not have to travel that far and if we did it would have been was well worth it. The whole movie is as lush as the trailer
