Oscars Day 2013

IMPORTANT and such a glorious day! ..Yes, today is Oscars Day.  I am so excited about the huge annual Academy Awards show tonight.  I am hoping Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro get gigantic respect and thrilling achievements this evening.

Please Help Us With This Weather

PLEASE  help us for believe me  this weird weather is not helpful to good cultural thinking now. So true.  Let's  totally enjoy our unique lives.

'Suits'

LAST night 'Suits' was great on USA Network. Meghan Markle was fabulous in the role of Rachel Zane.

'Playbook' Ideas

'SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK' is great cinema.  Let's help it.  This kind of film with its strong focus on mental illness is so meaningful.  The fact is we all need lots more serious material like this film gem.  Jennifer Lawrence is SUPER in this one.

Donald Byrd, Great Trumpet Man Passes

SADDENED by the passing away recently of the eloquent man of the trumpet, Donald Byrd.  His sound was so very exciting, so lyrical and quite engaging.  His improvisatory ideas were shiny and fresh and so vibrant they had brilliant impact on the mind.  The super brass men like Donald Byrd were so wonderful and such a joy for all of us who love the magical world of jazz.

'Safe Haven' and Julianne Hough

'SAFE HAVEN' looks like a fine movie.  This film opens tomorrow and I am psyched up about it.  I hope and pray Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel get a huge number of people to come and see this nice work of film.  Julianne and Josh are quite talented and this movie based on the Nicholas Sparks novel looks like a winner.  Let's all make it a "hot" item.

David O. Russell

DIRECTORS have to do so much hard work.  Fine Directors are a special breed.  Tackling very difficult film concepts like mental illness can be so challenging.  But when the movie works...Lord it is a magnificent achievement.  The new film by the clever director David Russell is what I am talking about.  This movie is a terrific interpretation of human emotions.  This movie...'Silver Linings Playbook'...is a great one.
