It was a packed weekend for me with the annual Scottish Dance in Gosford, a cake to bake for supper and losts of dances to remember. However all went well and I survived with the added bonus of seeing a wonderful Italian movie at rhe Cinema Paradiso. It was called 'Perfect Strangers' and won lots of European film awards and in my opinion, could easily have won Best Foreign Film at the Oscars.
And it was about the risk of sharing mobile phone information with your spouse. Comedic and sharp, it even ended up with a happy twist after three couples who agreed to open their phones were betrayed by them. This Italian director has made a big winner, tour de force acting by the small but excellent cast.
More concussions in footy, and more law suits, this may open the flood gates.
Great Aussie story of success and service by the Nicholas family.
Well the Oscars happened and resulted in the worst blooper in the history of the Awards. Price Waterhouse Cooper, the accounting firm for the awards, always boasted of its impeccable record but it is now smashed to pieces. The delivery of the wrong, yes wrong, envelope in the final, and most important award of Best Film, is something from which it will not recover. However for me it was the right movie 'Moonlight', my special favourite, which won the Best Film award over the much hyped 'LaLa Land'.
It was in everyone's opinon, a gaffe which was more in the domain of a High School mistake, but on this night of Awards it was an unforgivable error made by the accounting firm, as one of its two reps was busy texting when he gave out the wrong envelope! Yes it was the old 'mobile phone' obsession which created the downfall of Price Waterhouse. Justly applauded, 'Moonlight', an all-black, low budget production about a young gay black boy coming to grips with his homosexuality, was just the perfect antidote to throw back to Trump for his facist attitude towards race and creed.
'Bravo Moonlight!'
