THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN

The Art of Racing in the Rain is a heartwarming tale narrated by a witty and philosophical dog named Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner). Through his unique insight into the human condition, Enzo helps his owners — racecar driver Denny Swift , his wife Eve (Amanda Seyfried) and daughter Zoe — navigate life with a refreshing perspective on friendship, family and unconditional love.

 

Thanks Br. Dilip for the tip. I loved any movies to do with dogs.

Amazing Grace.

The story of William Wilberforce’s battle to abolish the slave trade.  Great cast; Albert Finney plays John Newton, ex slave ship master and author of the hymn, and Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciaran Hinds, Michael Gambon stand out.

The story of Julian Assange and Wikileaks.  Interesting.

Oh man, A Monster Calls is so incredible. Sigourney Weaver and Liam Neeson are in it. It's a tear jerker but also is healing.

The trailer reminded me somewhat of The BFG with Mark Rylance.

 

We watched Spectre, the James Bond film from 5 years ago.  Enjoyable hokum.

A monster calls. 

 

 

Loved Liam Neeson's voice. That rich cigarette and cognac voice.

Spoiler

About 150 Holocaust survivors were brought together in Israel by Steven Spielberg on the next-to-last day of filming of the director's epic movie "Schindler's List."

The survivors were gathered at a reception to meet the cast of the movie and to prepare for the next day's filming of a scene in which they would visit the actual grave of Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist who saved their lives nearly a half-century before.

But the reunion atmosphere of the evening took a back seat to an interesting phenomenon, according to producer Gerald Molen. Instead of hugging one another and reminiscing, the survivors seemed transfixed by actor Liam Neeson, who plays Schindler in the movie.

"They were blown away by Liam," the producer said. "They couldn't stop staring at him. As far as they were concerned, he was Oskar Schindler.

"And remember," the producer added, "none of these people had seen the movie yet."

This is for the sisters: SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (The Emma Thompson one) it’s SO GOOD. Enjoy with your feet up and a wee glass of wine. Like a hug in a rug.

Slightly off topic...  Have you ever noticed that the logic used in fashion and branding is quite circular?  For example on the lower end of the spectrum folks like us pay money to wear products with branding artwork.  For example, we purchase a shirt of a hoodie that has a Nike logo on it (or Pink! or some souvenir clothing or whatever).  At the same time, millionaire athletes and media personalities get paid by companies to wear their products!

 

The same goes for clothing.  People of limited means and low income wear home-made clothing (or, at least, they used to) because they can't afford store-bought clothes.  At the same time,  millionaire athletes and media personalities pay outrageous amounts of money to wear hand-crafted "one of a kind" outfits.  

 

It's crazy!  Yes, Josephine, I am with you on looking forward to what fashion will be like in the new world when we have done away with today's crazy circular thinking.

There are interesting music documentaries coming out.

 

”Becoming Led Zeppelin” has just premiered and “The Sparks Brothers” about Russ and Ron Mael who formed the band Sparks is out now.

Projected too is a documentary about The Velvet Underground.

Dear friends,

I noted that some movies recommended here are R-rated. As far as I understand R-rated means "not suitable to be seen by children because of violence, offensive language, or sexual activity" (definition taken from Webster). Other definition explains that "This rating means the film contains adult material such as adult activity, harsh language, intense graphic violence, drug abuse and nudity."

If even the world marks movies this way, I believe we have to be very careful and not give to a movie chance to damage our relationship with Jehovah.

I think we need to be careful with recommendations.
