Well, Meryl Streep probably just clinched another Oscar nomination......

“The Post,” a movie about the Papers. And the papers.

Set in the early ’70s, it’s partly about Daniel Ellsberg’s leak of thousands of Pentagon documents. Official, secret records of the Vietnam War, they proved our politicians knew we couldn’t win.





Can't wait to see this one!

No matter the role.

Makes it seem so natural and effortless. Very tiny eye movements or nose wrinkle here and there that you never notice unless you watch something more than a few times. Just dipped into "It's Complicated" - a fluff of a movie made big by her and Alec Baldwin, who is also an excellent actor.

Yes I think Meryl is awesome and so is Tom Hanks.

I'm on the lookout in my local paper to locate where this movie might be at the end of the year.

I will find it and I will go. I've got some interested people lined up to go with me...

it's not out around here yet. I'll be spending the month of January in Myrtle Beach so hopefully it'll be playing around the area when I'm down there. It looks like a good movie.
