new month. new movies on criterion. this was in the handmade films lot which was george harrisons production company and to drive that home it opens and closes on a beatles tune. a lot of talent wasted in this one. also they kept using the exterior for the horseshoe bar near tompkins but it was set in 1964 in the bronx. i wonder if any of it was actually shot there. the movie is five corners.
I am lost with movies today....
New Julia Roberts movie......yuck
New Nicolas Cage movie......yuck
Hope The Boy & Heron delivers!!

Just finished a wine course on sparkling varieties. In the discussion afterwards they mentioned cider mimosas with only two ingredients, wine and cider.

Brooklyn Christmas Bird of the Year: Purple Sandpiper
Purple Sandpipers are reliably present at Christmastime each year on the wave-washed rocky waterfront of my Brooklyn neighborhood along the Verrazzano Narrows. They breed in the far north, and Brooklyn is their idea of south for the winter; they arrive around Thanksgiving and stay into the spring. It’s their tradition.

watched maestro on netflix which is bradley cooper acting and directing a leonard bernstein biopic. thought it was..... fine. he and carey mulligan were very good in the leads and im ok with the fact that it wasnt a paint by numbers biography, it was really more about their relationship but seemed a little withholding in the end, like it got caught wanting to be a smaller film inside a larger hollywood movie.
