A Patch of Blue

[wednes]

One of my favorite movies just arrived yesterday on DVD. It's one I've been meaning to buy for some time, but somehow waited until it was no longer available and I had to buy it from an Amazon vendor. Anyway, it's A Patch of Blue starring Sidney Poitier and Shelly Winters. It's quite a gem. About a blind girl with a horrible drunken mother who meets a charming Sidney Poitier who helps her flee from her seemingly hopeless situation. If you've never seen it, I recommend it highly. It features Hollywood's first interracial kiss, and is a damn fine film in it's own right. And now...I own it.

I also picked up a copy of Persepolis, and my favorite Audrey Tautou movie: He Loves Me, He Loves me Not. That one, I had never seen on sale for less than $30, but then found that I could get it as a free selection from Columbia House. Whoo Hoo for me!!

HORROR fans, do check out The Haunt which is a new horror site with forums and video and lots of interesting peeps. It's pretty new, so now is a good time to join up. I need to amass lots of friends over there. It will create the illusion that I'm popular. ;-]

And finally, I will be very bummed if Tasmanian Devil's go extinct.

I loved A Patch of Blue. It's heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time.

Indeed.

I don't normally spend $20 on one DVD, but I felt that this warranted it.

"He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" is wonderful. I have not seen "A Patch of Blue." I love "To Sir With Love." Sidney Poitier is the best teacher ever in that movie.

To Sir...is an excellent film. It's hard to go wrong with SP.
