reviews of n eclectic entertainment week....

We had a week filled with a great variety of outings...the 3 of us did all of these together and have had some time to chat about with each other so now it's time 2 share with u

ENCHANTED

last sunday after the first of what would b 3 snows during the week

we braved the icy drive

and headed out 4 this show

....we were truly enchanted!

2 thumbs up from r dis loving fam!

joanie loves her dis villain's and all we have 2 say is look out Glenn Close (101)

Susan Sarandon in da enchanted house!

i loved the fab real animation...hand drawn cell work according 2 the credits 'cause i stay 4 'em

...i knew it right away.

such a treat for the eyes

...sorry pixtar fans but i'm old!

i also loved the central park tour

...the castle the bridge and all places in tween

when we r in nyc we spend a little time each day in a different corner of the park

and this film doesn't miss one of them

...i can only imagine the state of the park during filming

YIKES!

maya was mesmerized by julie andrews narration from the get go....

she's begging to travel to nyc asap....maybe in may

she had a few belly laughs during the clean-up scene and loved the kong reversal!

kudos 2 disney for a great family film done in great taste with loads of extras and fantastic soundtrack!

Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes

joan n i had a film assignment for r grad class final

we decided that maya needed 2 see the film 2

-heavy but she loves independent lens at home

then we found out that Byron Hurt was coming to screen it and there would b a talk back

it doesn't get any better than this...

compelling

important

relevant

insightful

moving

the man is genius

the film is thought provoking to say the very least

should b required for everyone and anyone who loves hip hop

mr hurt's qna session was inspiring

he questioned the young rapper wannabees 2 think

he apologized 2 the church ladies

he explained the process and his focus and wowed me like i have not been wowed in many a day

see it

share it

live it

meanwhile i have a three page single spaced paper written on it 2 edit and turn-in!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

We finally found some time and some great tickets to catch

the annual Milwaukee Repertory Theater's Dickens classic

i haven't been since i was a kid

fantastic cast, unbelievable sets...first rate b'way production right here in mke

we r so blessed-no pun intended!

anyhoo Maya's current play had too many references 2 pass this year's show up

she's rose with First Stage's 12 Days A Milwaukee Christmas

picture day is the 13th! look for updated bragspot asap!

so i'm home on sat night 'cause we've been on the go all week

n the laundry pile has magically appeared once again!
