The Grand Seduction

Saw "The Grand Seduction" last Friday at one of the smaller theaters in the Mariemont Theater Complex. There was plenty of room for this show - no third row for us this time!

Enjoyed all the "goings-on" - the intrigue, the twists and turns. I'm not certain of which fishing village is being shown - could be in Nova Scotia or thereabouts. (Need to watch it again). The characters were so much fun - and the one grizzly fellow is currently starring in a PBS comedy series.
(More research needed).

This movie reminded me of "Ned Divine" - so very similar. It's a heart-warming story. Felt good after seeing it. Glad to add it to my list of "did its".

100 Foot Journey

After our summer Friday grill-out supper at Lake Isabella, three of us decided to "see a movie". This time we would be be going to see "The 100 Foot Journey" - the most incredible journey, ever!

Mariemont Theater was packed! We sat in the third row in full-surround sound and wider-than-wide screen. I felt like I was in the upper dome of an I-max theater. Wow!

The story is heart-warming and stomach-warming, too. The scenery is magnificent! The food - the food - the food! Preparation - dedication - tradition - competition - judgmental behavior eventually becoming acceptance and eventually LOVE makes this film an Oscar-winning contender.

Go see it and encourage your friends and family to see it, too. "The 100 Foot Journey" is worth every step!
