Everything looks good to me but I think Winter's Tale appeals most - call me a sap but I love a good love story :)
ReplyDeleteme too, if only Colin didn't have such horrid hair in it :)
DeleteTwo of my favourite obsessions are Japan and spirituality, so "Silence" sounds like it will be right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteglad you like that one, Debs
DeleteHey Dezzy. Happy Sunday. Got snow today. Not much though. Just a dusting.
ReplyDeletewe still have most of the roads closed around the city, but at least it will be above zero tomorrow and most of the snow should start melting.
DeleteAbove zero. That's gonna feel like a heatwave. Or, it did when we went above zero. Funny how that goes. The other day it was 8 [f] and it felt great. So weird.
Deleteyep, it's above zero today and we're swamped with slush and melted snow and water dripping from all the roofs and trees....
DeleteWinter's Tale is definitely one I'd like to see for Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteit does seem very romantic, doesn't it?
Deletemost people don't know Portugal was the first European country to visit Japan.
ReplyDeleteand that Macao is/was their Asian colony
DeleteThanks for your kind comment on my blog! I noticed on your follow list that you stopped following me...so I stopped following you, as well! (sorry)
ReplyDeleteDo love Winter's Tale, and can't wait to see it. You have such an amazing collection of movies, and your blog looks so awesome now!
Sorry, Elisabeth, I don't remember ever following you. If it happens that I unfollow somebody it's usually with people who never followed back or who never commented here. I don't know if that is the case with you or not.
DeleteGlad you like WINTER'S TALE, it should be a really great film.
What a Martin Scorsese film where Leonardo DiCaprio isn't the main character. Shocking!
ReplyDeletehe does have a strange taste in choosing actors.He just recently said how he wants to work with One Direction. WTH?
Delete"Not a true story, it's a love story" - Dear Lord, that makes perfect sense.
ReplyDeleteit sure does, Blue, it sure does, even for the two us without any sense :)
DeleteThat's right. Well put, Dezz.
DeleteI always know where and how to put it... don't I? Goes for you as well, Sir Knight Blue Randy of the Mandy table....
