I have a three day weekend coming up and I am actually considering going to see this movie. I like Tom Hanks, and for some reason watching the previews the overall grumpiness that he displays I find amusing.

"A Thousand Years Over a Hot Stove," by Laura Schenone, is a history book, as much as a cookbook. It is beautifully written, well researched, and sometimes very uncomfortable reading about the 'civilization' of the Native American Indians, Mexicans, African-Americans, etc. It is comprehensive, down-to-earth and insightful.

I have not been to a movie since Thanksgiving 1995 when I saw Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye. But when I saw the scene's with Tom Hanks for this movie I started considering that I may need to change my ways. It looks so gooood!!

Just finished Sally Hepworth's The Things We Keep and it was so good! I really enjoyed it and she did a great job of bringing the characters to life..It reminded me so much of a movie I saw with Julianne Moore, where she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers as well.

I am now starting INVISIBLE by Danielle Steel.........

I knew something was off when I saw the ad for this movie. Is A Man Called Otto = A Man Called Ove? Maybe I assumed too much? Anybody know? I plan to see it anyway, but I'm just having after thoughts?
