We Can Work It Out

'Guess whos coming to dinner' - I love this movie--today I first saw the movie . 


It has so much to say about humanity and cold judgement.


Sydney was the first one who predicted a black president, not to mention condoleza rice, a prediction we could have done without i might add, not because she was black but because she was a bush henchwoman. 


I think that Poitier is one of the ten best actors of all time. 


Great film !

Gold - You're Indestructable

I used to love this song as a teenager.


Nice song even in 2010!!

I used to say to my kids that the 80s produced total classic bands like Duran Duran, Wham and Police. 


There is still good music out there, you just have to find it...

Out Here On My Own - I dry the tears I never show

I remember when this was a smashing hit in the 80's that made EVERYONE cry...

Pop music used to be cool back then...

Some guy made a cover of it - COOOOL thing ever...

Bad Romance - The best clip of 2010

Congratulations to Lady GaGa.

She finally got recognition for her art from the media (MTV Awards 2010)

I personally don't think she truly deserves it , but let it be...

I've never liked Lady Gaga, and haven't given her a chance.

After watching the awards tonight, I figured I'd watch this video again with a more open mind, and I must say,there's something in it!

Madame Bovary - Claude Chabrol RIP

Claude Chabrol died today at the age of 80.

We remember him as the director of the controversial movie 'Madame Bovary' starring the erotic actress Isabelle Huppert.

Emma, a prosperous farmer's daughter, who marries a doctor, Charles Bovary .

He is a kind and gentle soul who adores her and wants nothing more than to make her happy. The problem is that he does not know how. Even Emma does not really know what would make her happy.

This is the story of Emma Bovary and her unhappy, wasted, shallow life. She is a woman who on the surface seems to have everything, an adoring, doting husband, a lovely, healthy daughter, an attractive well appointed home. Yet, she is unhappy. She loathes her husband, finding him pedantic and dull. She has little time for her daughter and seems to have little motherly instincts. What worldly goods she has never seem to ber enough.
