Rumours of my Death have been Greatly Exaggerated

Happy Easter Everybody!!!

I take this time to say that I am not dead, I have simply been in blogging hibernation. I do hope to be back blogging regularly in a few days, I have so much to catch up on. I haven't even seen any of the new movies that have come out recently. I've been rather busy with my play, we opened three days ago and are having a rather successful run. Once again I invite you guys who live near by to come and see it, it's quite the crowd pleaser.

My Month of Billy Wilder will probably be held over to next month to give the great director the respect he deserves. It's hard to believe it's already been a month since "No Country for Old Men" walked off with the oscar, I got my copy the day it was released on DVD, but I haven't even had time to watch it or any of the other movies I've gotten since either. Today is my breather. I hope you are all good, I accidentally erased my all my favorite link pages so don't fret I will repost them soon!!!

I hope all you movie fans are doing well, and sure hope to be back in the blogging circuit with you soon. See ya!!!

Movies as a Comfort food

So today basically was a sucky day for the most part. The only part of it that did not remain sucky was when I was on stage rehearsing for my play, at least for the moment I was caught up in a fantasy world where I was playing the guy that gets the girl and I'm getting paid to do it. But of course reality sinks in soon after and the day you are having remains sucky.

But thankfully movies come to the rescue. I haven't been able to sit down and watch one of my favorites in a long time. Tonight in honor of my sucky day I am watching "Late Spring" which may seem like a weird film to put me in a good mood, but it does. It's about a father who must let go of her daughter to marriage, and it's heartbreaking, but what makes me feel good about the film is the characters are so real and I love them, it's like hanging out with people you just really enjoy.

There is probably a movie for every occasion depending on what kind of a day I'm having, but today is definitely an Ozu day, so bring on "Late Spring".

What are some of your movies you like to watch when your day sucks?

Plans for March: Billy Wilder and More

Well now that those pesky Oscars are gone and done with for yet another year, it's time to get down to business as usual here at "Jeremy and the Movies". However I will probably not be able to pound out the entries as often this month as I am gearing up for my return to the stage and as the date for opening night inches closer and closer my attention must be drawn away from my beloved blog. However do not fear, I will be present this month in minimal capacity especially to continue my "Director of the Month" series. This month I'm pleased to announce we'll be shooting the spotlight on the master of the acid tongue, the sardonic wit himself Billy Wilder, so stay tuned for entries on that. Hope you'll have a hoot of fun this month!!!
