Movies


I don't usually include movies in my posts, but this is Monday Miscellany and it's summer and I've seen a few movies I feel like commenting on.



***** The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel gets my high five. I loved the story and I always love Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith. I laughed. I teared up. I left wanting more. That to me is a good movie.



** Lincoln not so much. And I adore Daniel Day Lewis. His performance was, of course, excellent, but the movie dragged and dragged. I got a refresher course on the passing of the 13th Amendment, so that helped keep my interest. I was really disappointed in Tommy Lee Jones and he's another favorite of mine.




My Favorite Quote for the Day 

"It is easier to run a revolution than a government." You'll never guess who said this. Ferdinand Marcos. Guess he'd know. As I recall he was always declaring martial law.




Hope you'll download Marta's book today. Chime in on my movie comments. Disagree? Agree? Any favorite quotes to share?
