Gentle Friends, not too much going on....and I didn't want to let the Blog go a week without a post. With that in mind I thought a plug for a good film would be a nice thing to Post about. Since the TeeVee has next to nothing to really watch I've been watching movies rather heavily lately... and Netflix has come through with some winners lately.... the other night I receive a newer film...
... and although there were no explosions, car crash or chases, no comic book characters or robots, somehow a film was made...... and what a film "Brooklyn" - 2015 - with a wonderful ensemble cast from the UK and a story by Colin Toibin the 112 minute film just flew by. It's amazing what a sweet story and good acting can bring to the silver screen.... Hollywood should take notice!!
________________
"Brooklyn" is available on both DVD and Blu Ray and I would highly recommend the film!!
Have a super weekend!!
Take care,
edgar
I read the book and loved it but still haven't seen the movie. Now that it is on Netflix I hope to do so soon.
ReplyDeleteEdgar, I couldn't agree with you more about this movie. It was my favorite film last year. The soundtrack is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe book was excellent. Will try to catch the movie.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the good old television!! I will get Brooklyn. It looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteIt is going on my 'to watch' list. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEvalina, This and that...
I enjoyed the book when it came out, and now I've enjoyed the movie as well. With a screenplay by Nick Nornby, how could I not?
ReplyDeleteThat one is on my list Edgar!! I saw it at Target the other day and almost purchased it.
ReplyDeleteDearest Edgar: I am with you Hollywood needs a reality check, some of the trash coming out of there is horrible.
ReplyDeleteWe do not go to the show house anymore due to the films are horrible.
Blessings

First let me say I recently found your blog and love it. We watched the movie last night and loved it. l
ReplyDeleteAs an Irish immigrant myself, I LOVED the film, and found it really true to life; despite being 30 years before my experience, the feelings and emotions are still true.
