Movie Monday 4/25/2022

My movie watching mojo has left the building. I have been deriving much pleasure from watching episodic shows.

BUT

I watched The House of Gucci several weeks ago and forgot to share my thoughts. The film is based on true events regarding the assassination of Maurizio Gucci by a hitman hired by his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani. Lady Gaga did a wonderful job playing Reggiani. Adam Driver played Gucci. Al Pacino and Jared Leto also started. It was good!

Good binges:

Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go For It is a documentary chronicling Rita Moreno’s incredible life. I did not know she had a relationship with Marlon Brando. It’s good.

There’s a delightful movie on Amazon Prime called Please Stand By. It’s about an autistic girl who plans to enter a contest that requires writing a properly formatted Star Trek related script. Once she painstakingly finished writing it, the next issue was getting it submitted in time. Dakota Fanning, Toni Collette and others star. I loved it.

Good binges:

While the dash has been keeping me quite busy, it’s the mood that has kept me from knitting and sewing. I have finished a couple of little projects though:

I reclaimed the yarn from a scarf I made that I never wore. The pattern is Hat for Joy. 

This hat was made from yarn leftover from another project. The pattern is Pup Tent. 

I am currently working on a vintage sweater. It’s from a book I used way back when I first started learning how to knit from a pattern.
