So I prescribed myself a heating pad and a couple of Aleve
to relieve the minor discomfort…and decided I’d shove Doris and her family off
to the side for another week so that I could get caught up with some movies I
have cluttering up the DVR. Finally got
around to watching Lincoln (2012)—which
was exactly the kind of movie I thought it was going to be; the ones they make
because they’d very much like to see an Oscar astride the mantle—and a pair of
sleepers that I took a chance on, The
Lookout (2007) and The Private Lives
of Pippa Lee (2009). (I liked Lookout; Pippa Lee is one of those indie films that’s only too happy to let
you know it’s an indie…though it does have Alan Arkin, and that’s never a bad
thing.) My viewing schedule also made
room for the likes of The Color of Money
(1986) and The Prince and the Pauper (1937)—both
of which I had never watched in their entirety.
I hope to have a few items up on the menu this week. Apologies for my slackitude, but it is winter
and all.
