11:50 pm	"Monsieur Ibrahim" Ya Gotta See It! This new movie staring Omar Sharif, is really special and heart warming, 'feel good' movie that doesn't get too sappy. I really recommend it on a day when you need your spirits lifted....a story about a Turkish shop keeper in Paris who makes friends with a cute Jewish boy. Charming story and beautiful scenery in France and Turkey. I have always admired Omar Sharif, who after early sucess in "Lawrence of Arabia" and the incredible "Doctor Zhivago," got stuck with a lot of roles smelling of arab stereotypes, but still approached the roles with a lot of class and professionalism. one interesting fact. The original title was "Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran" but when it was released in the US, the "and the Flowers of the Koran" was cut off the title. The movie itself shows how sad that is, and what a mess the world is now, but gives hope for the future. (Comment on this)

11:24 pm	"Duende Makes a House Call" Today we attended an amazing show, "Duende Makes a House Call" What a creative mix of drama, comedy and wonderful Flamenco music and dance. Dealing with issues of cronic illness, moving out on ones own, and developing community in a sensitive and graceful way, the show left one's heart warmed. The elusive spanish concept of "Duende" in Flamenco, or the spirit of a performance, in the play was represented by ghosts. This follows along with the belief that especially fantastic Flamenco performances are due to the temporary assistance of ghosts or spirits. (Comment on this)
