We have now seen 3 of the 5 movies that received best actress nods from the academy. And I must say, so far, even though the other two were great roles for the actresses, Julie Christie in Away From Her, gets my vote easily. She is lumiscent and transcending. She is perfect. A sad story, about a couple who has been married 44 years when the wife develops Alzheimers, and has to be sent to a home. I will not give away the plot details, but Christie is wonderful as is her co-star Gordon Pinsent (who should have received a nom for best supporting actor).
Julie Christie, maybe best known for Dr. Zhivago, in her younger days, retains her beauty, and her magnetism. And in this role, she finds a voice to play to love once again, this time a love that lasts for decades, and outlives the hot passion of youth, but cannot overcome the dissolution of the mind.

Thanks for the restaurant reviews. We (B & I) had been to Ortega's before when it first opened and thought the meal was o-k but not like people had raved about. Haven't been back since. And yes we did like Urban Solace. Good portions, good food, not too expensive.
If you want to try a good burger, go to Crazy Burger on 30th, south of University. Casual and good.
A magazine you should add to your list: Smithsonian. Good variety of interesting articles. I am back logged at the moment so will pass them on to you as I read them if you like.
And I have 2 favorite games: Balderdash, which I would think YOU would really like, and Scene It.
Like the blog!
