Movies To See

I saw a movie this weekend that made me miss my musical muse (aka my sweetness)

This movie made me laugh and cry ! And I loved it so... but it made me look at movies a different way and it sparked an interesting convo between the person I watched it with..

The movie was PS I Love You. Here is a very brief outline of the movie..
On a country road in Ireland over ten years ago, it was love at first sight for Holly, a lost young tourist (Academy Award® winner, Hilary Swank), and Gerry, a charming local lad (Gerard Butler). Hollys formidable mother, (Kathy Bates), disapproved of the couple, concerned that her spirited daughter was too young for marriage. In the years since, the once fearless Holly has become unsure of her own identity. When Gerry dies with a brain tumor and leaves Holly a widow just shy of her thirtieth birthday, her family and best friends (Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon) are concerned that she will never emerge from her takeout container-strewn Manhattan apartment. After weeks holed up watching old movies, a birthday cake and tape recording message from Gerry mysteriously arrives, marking the beginning of a series of letters instructing her to perform unusual requests. With the help of her girlfriends, Holly begins a year of wild adventures and a life journey that Gerry has planned for her, helping her to discover who she is without him and reminding her - p.s. I Love You.



P.S. I Love You is based on the best-selling novel by Cecelia Ahern.


Now if you haven't seen this movie you should..

I asked the question why aren't black actors/actress' offered this type of role/movie..
And when it comes to sexual under/overtones of a character African americans are portrayed as lustful, barbaric beasts but their white counterparts are shown to be passionate and caught up in the moment???

I also wondered which of our black actors could have pulled off this type of role...

Just a little something to make you say hmmmmmm ..

until my next rant..

Smooches darlings!
