'Why He Had to Go I Don't Know He Wouldn't Say'

'glee' is back.
 so did you reach for the box of kleenex or pull the dagger out of your heart"? how the hell did lea michele even get through this? and she was at the top vocal wise which is never a surprise. she tore my heart out.



(carrie underwood take note: this is how you cover this beatles song. not the way you performed that abomination at the emmy's last sunday.)

Love Me If You Dare' and 'Little White Lies'

tomorrow is marion's birthday.
i've been catching up with some of her lesser known films. 'love me if you dare' is a delightful little comedy about childhood friends who grow up 'daring' each other with practical jokes involving a little box. it's subtitled and worth the read. it also stars her husband guillaume canet. it's really a bit enchanting.




and also:
on a little darker side is 'little white lies'. it's in the 'big chill' vein in that it tells the story of a group of friends who meet for holiday and tragedy overshadows the good times. it's a heartwarming slice of life film that reveals truths and lies amongst the friends. it is directed by marion's husband guillaume canet. 






it should come as no surprise that i recommend these marion films. i think she is extraordinary and at the top of the best actresses of our time.
