humble apologies for the long delay in posts..the holiday season took over but that does not mean movies were not watched.

Do not rush to see "It's Complicated". Meryl Streep's presence could compel me to see pretty much anything she stars in but I found this to be a bit schmaltzy and a sell-out. Sure, it had some funny moments but it is impossible to take Alec Baldwin seriously. It might be worth a watch if you are a captive audience on a plane.

Do NOT see the update and hollywood-ized version of "The Brothers" but DO see the original Dutch version. Excellent.

For a better Meryl fix, check out Julie Julia. It is fun and her Julie Child impression is quite good.

Signing off for now but stay tuned.
