The Media & Me

Friends with Money has been added to my list of movie favorites. I'll admit that after I read the description once the movie arrived from Netflix I was very unsure. It reads, "Set in Los Angeles, Nicole Holofcener's bittersweet tale examines the evolving lives of four women friends..." YIKES! I was so unsure that I declined Dave's offer to watch it with me. I couldn't bring myself to do that to him. It sounded like torture... but Turns out, it's actually an awesome film!! The 4 leading ladies did a fantastic job; Catherine Keener, Frances McDormand, Jennifer Aniston, Joan Cusack. I loved ALL the performances, from every actor! I highly recommend it. It really is a quality film!!

I watched Capote today (Staring... Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, & Chris Cooper who didn't play a dick for once!) semi-interesting, but uneventful. I'm slightly cloudy now due to 'something,' so I'm probably not the best judge of quality right now... it did manage to keep me entertained, so that was good.

Finally, I got a new David Sedaris audiobook today, "Dress Your Family in Corduroy & Denim." I wanted something to entertain me. He's doing a pretty good job. From reading reviews I guess that Sedaris isn't the author for everyone... but I really enjoy his essays. The key might be to hearing him read it. If someone else spoke the words I don't think it would have the same impact.
