Leave The World Behind

Julia Roberts

The hot Netflix film presently is Leave The World Behind starring Julia Roberts & Ethan Hawke. It is proving to be divisive among the audience and that's not hard to understand why.

So here you are going to get my quick hot take on it as to why I liked it. First off let's refer to the meme above. This is how Ms. Roberts closes an opening monologue, this closed the deal for me to continue watching.

A lot of fuss has been made about how the movie seems random and not connected. While I don't disagree with that entirely. I liked that about it. It was a bold choice IMHO because that is the way a situation like this would play out in real life. Do any of you know exactly what you would do or how you would behave, let alone what would happen when no one really knows what's happening in a situation like this? Yeah, I thought not...

There is that ending, which I felt captured the spirit of the rest of the story the film told. No one knows anything and they are trying to figure out who and what they are in this extreme situation. 

My only real criticism is it felt all too possible and real to me, and that Minions is truly frightening!!!

The Name Game

What's In A Name?!

"The name game. Shirley! Shirley, Shirley, Bo-ber-ley, bo-na-na fanna, Fo-fer-ley. fee fi mo-mer-ley, Shirley!Lincoln! Lincoln, Lincoln. bo-bin-coln, Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fin-coln, Fee fi mo-min-coln, Lincoln!" - The Name Game, Shirley Ellis

So today I though we might play a little game, the name game to be exact. Can you guess who this is? Let me give you a clue or two, perhaps three, "Yes" let's make it three.

Here she is at the premiere of the movie Mainstream at the Venice International Film Festival. Next clue - she is the offspring of famous acting parents. Final clue - She looks very much like her Mother.

Give up? It's Maya Thurman Hawke, daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, she has most notably appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In...Hollywood.

She positively glows whilst attending the premiere of the film in which she stars.

What are you wearing right now? Have the kind of day you choose, give it a name!

Reality Bites

Memories
Winona Ryder & Ethan Hawke

Alright who out there remembers when the movie Reality Bites came out? Me, me, me, me, I do!

That is correct if you remember this time and place like myself, then you too are old. Yay! 

Now that we've established that. Today's piece of feel good nostalgia, a photo of it's stars Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke who played love interests Troy & Lelaina in it, is for your creaky old booty.

Hey it made me smile to see the two of them reunited at the screening of Born To Be Blue in NYC. 

It really is the simple things. 

Well I am sitting here at my keyboard with my morning fruit and Tejava tea gearing up for another Sunday spin class this ayem (get it gearing up?!) at Gold's Gym Hollywood, I may be old, but I still have buns of steel.

Have a good one!
