The Girl in the Cafe
It's no secret that I like weird, quirky, off beat movies...just ask my husband. That's probably why I like independent films so much. Check out Independent Lens on PBS sometime if you feel the same. I finally got to see, "The Girl in the Cafe," over the New Year's holiday and I really enjoyed it. The film is about a lonely, uptight British cabinet aide who happens to sit next to a girl in a crowded cafe. This girl winds up rocking Lawrence's buttoned up world. Gina, is a free spirit with a past that slowly reveals itself as the film unwinds. Although Gina seems like she's a mousey sort at first, she later reveals herself to be a smart and very opinionated woman. The film shows the unlikely pair traveling to Iceland for the G-8 Summit. Lawrence and his boss are involved in intense negotiations with the other 7 most powerful countries in the world to reduce world poverty through a series of proposals called "The Millennium Goals." Gina fouls up the trip by strongly expressing her views on the negotiations to Lawrence's boss and other powerful dignitaries. Lawrence is devastated that his brush with love may cost him his job.
Exposing the Phony War on Christmas
I don't watch much TV so I missed out of Fox News Channel's recent "War on Christmas" coverage led by Bill O'Reilly. From what I've read on-line and gleaned from some angry letters to the editor of "The Greenville News," Fox was spreading the rumor that the liberals were waging a war on Christmas and there was some concern that no one would be allowed to utter the words Merry Christmas aloud in a public place for fear of being sued by the godless ACLU. Countless hours of valuable TV time was devoted to covering this so-called crisis at the same time Fox plugged a new book detailing the war, cleverly entitled, "The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday is Worse Than You Thought." I guess you won't be surprised to learn that this insightful tome was written by a Fox News Channel commentator, John Gibson....how very convenient for Gibson to have an entire network plug your book right at Christmas time!
Hell Freezes Over
Hell has officially frozen over. I know this for a fact because I just read an editorial opinion article written by George Will that I agreed with wholeheartedly. Never, ever in this lifetime did I expect to agree wholeheartedly with George "Neo-Conservative" Will on any current event but...I do now.
