Jim and I saw a pretty good movie this weekend, Young At Heart, a documentary about a choir of senoir citizens who cover groups such as The Ramones, Coldplay, The Clash, and The Bee Gees. I cried at least four different times. The highlight for me was when they performed at a prison to a yardfull of hard young men who were obviously touched by what they heard.
Seen any good movies lately?

About Me

- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

The last good movie Yancy and I saw was Burn After Reading. Not exactly moving in the way that your movie about senior singers was I'm sure, but it was pretty amusing. That movie sounds good by the way; I think I've seen that group before although I can't think of what they sang. They were really good though.

Zoe and I watched "The Buddy Holly Story". I figured because she was born in Lubbock, she should see it. The movie has some good scenes in it - like the recording studio in Nashville and the scene where they open in NY.
My bratty student would like me to point out that "senior" was spelled wrong in the original post. It really was him that caught it, I swear. I was not being so critical, because I do not have any particular homework to avoid at the moment.
The last thing I saw was when I was babysitting, and it was a show called Fireman Sam. I think it must be British in origin, and it was interesting to see the weird little differences between a show from the UK and American kids' shows.
It's French. "Seen-whar."

I'll be sure to let him know-put him in his place. We stand corrected.
