Kate Hudson in "Nine", Movies

Kate Hudson always bares a striking resemblance of her famous mom, Goldie Hawn but after seeing preview to Nine - I would say she is channeling her mom's Laugh In days down to the outfit and the moves. The film appear to be an energizing, impressive confection for adult audiences this holiday season.

Three movies in three separate genres include nine in their titles this year.

Ring Cranberry Mold | Williams-Sonoma

Ring Cranberry Mold Williams-Sonoma

I purchased one of these over the weekend thinking I may take my cranberry dish up a notch this year. The mold comes with a recipe that includes using Williams-Sonaoma Apple-Orange Cranberry Relish. Should the un-molding process prove tricky, I will simply use my back-up canned cranberry sauce and watch it jiggle in all its cylindrical canned glory.

The Roaring Twenties, 1939 James Cagney

Last night on TCM. A better example of a gangster film and from the golden year of 1939. A veteran reporter wrote the story based on actual events with details changed. It moves very fast and gives a very detailed portrayal of Prohibition era booze making and marketing. Gladys George portrays a well worn woman being the best lady she can be. I want to find more of her work.

Vistit to Acadia National Park 10/27/09

Picking a nice day to go off-season was like having the whole park to ones self. Maine also has a couple of great classical music radio stations, which make for a perfect soundtrack. I must purchase a better camera.

Oscar hosts are confirmed. The two star in a new film due out Christmas. They must have good chemistry and the Academy must be wishing for a hit.
