Leaving tomorrow morning for Las Vegas by way of Philadelphia and New York City with Rachel Wiener. I can't be more excited. I renewed my license today, and I passed the vision test (I was a little nervous, ha) and then I got a new picture taken, but they had me take my glasses off - weird, because I wear them when I drive - and it's going to be weird to look at my pic every time I take out my license for the next 5 years and I don't have my glasses on. Anyways, I digress...
Miss Alison Hay and I took in designer-cum-filmmaker Tom Ford's rookie effort, A Serious Man starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Unfortunately, it was all style and not a whole lot of substance. Firth was incredible was George Falconer, a college English professor in 1960's Los Angeles dealing with the recent death of his longtime partner - but the rest of the film was just one gorgeous screen picture after another where not a whole lot happened or was said. Julianne Moore didn't really have a whole lot to do as his blousy neighbor/wannabe lover, but she made the best of a pretty thankless role. Expect Oscar nominations for both, as well as a possible adapted Screenplay nod for Ford and David Scearce. I was disappointed, I was expecting much more.
Grade: B- (Miss Alison Hay gives it a solid B)ˆ
Speaking of which, apologies for not giving Miss Alison Hay props for the Glee flash mob I posted in a previous update. PROPS TO YOU!
Viva Las Vegas!
