House has ended Tuesday, May 22 2012

Both hours of the final House series were well done and very informative. I love to see those who work behind the scenes having been a theatre techy many years ago. The way “Houses Head” was shot, was particularly fascinating. That fateful bus.

I think “Everyone Dies” was quite well done and I for one, am sending up burnt offerings in thanks for a positive, House lives on, somehow, ending. HE’S ALIVE

I don’t know why, but it is very comforting that Dr. House lives on. And I think a lot of people agree with me. Wish I could peek in on the road trip. 

But I am really going to miss seeing Hugh Laurie perform somewhat weekly. Amidst the “I don’t care” & “Life is an absurd joke” of Dr. House, there is a deep intensity I don’t see that often. It rings true.

This eclipse has been mostly negative in my view Friday, May 18 2012 

Not sure if I totally believe in Astrology, but recent events and passings in my group of friends and with people I know are bothersome. Also less than encouraging business developments, as well as good ones, I should say, keep me hopping. Could it be the eclipse? Mars in Virgo is also not helping much, as well as Pluto and Uranus in a square. Saturn can move forward and out of Libra, too. Anybody else noticing upsetting and surprising developments? Feel free to post.

2 good offferings We Bought a Zoo and Albert Knobs Wednesday, May 16 2012 

We Bought a Zoo is not really a children’s movie, but they are welcome viewers. It has serious moments and lots of moving ones. I love animals and consider this to be some of Matt Damon’s best work. An excellent rental.

 

Albert Knobs is somewhat controversial but well acted and interesting. Not for kids in my view. But no real  uncomfortable sex scenes either. Concentrates on relationships. Somewhat confusing relationships. Glenn Close does a masterful acting job.

the ending of House M.D. Wednesday, May 9 2012 

More than anything I will miss seeing Hugh Laurie performing on a regular basis. The show has not been going out with a whimper. The shows are even better now that things are drawing to a close. Another special performer I will miss is Robert Sean Leonard. I don’t get to Broadway shows…..In the current episode the road trip between Wilson and House was priceless… I’m just sad about it all….Image

Sunday nights are diverting Monday, Apr 16 2012 

Well, there’s Mad Men, the Killing and the Good Wife…. a full night of entertainment, quality entertainment. No reality TV, no Sunday night football this time of year…. the Killing is the least impressive for me, endless solving of the same crime seems to lack a little. But it is well done. I also don’t like constant rain and darkness, a la Seattle. I already live in it – i.e. Portland. The characters are so well drawn on Mad Men, one feels part of the office and there’s always a new development. The Good Wife is just plain quality TV … great quality tv. 

Iron Lady Wednesday, Apr 11 2012 

What a well deserved Oscar! I didn’t care for the jumping back and forth, but all in all, it is a fine film. I’m not a Conservative, she wasn’t my favorite leader. But it is interesting to peek into the backgrounds of history…

War Horse Monday, Apr 9 2012 

A very sentimental but worthy film. I, for one, am an avid horse lover…. Wars are the creation of leaders, not followers and the followers get sacrificed. I guess the moral is stubborn endurance is a virtue of the survivors, exemplified by that indomitable horse. The scene with barbed wire was wrenching and showed that man’s concern for animal welfare can surpass the rules of war.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Sunday, Apr 8 2012 

This is a truly excellent film. I highly recommend it. Max Von Sydow gives one of the best performances of his long and varied career. 9/11 is still with us and definitely with this young boy. Everyone’s performance is stellar in this very moving film. I only hope I can be as spry and on top of things as is Mr. Von Sydow at the age of 82. There is no way to make sense out of random violence.
