MY MOTHER’S WEDDING. Kristin Scott Thomas, a veteran of both sides of the lens, multi-tasks in MMW as the autobiographical writer, director and star, alongside ScarJo and Sienna Miller. No one’s idea of a joke. Except that I can’t help but hearing, “A Navy Officer, Movie Star and Nurse walk into the no-host bar at their Mothers third wedding,” only to find Jonathan Demme’s Rachel Got Married playing on the big-screen TV. Tonally disjointed or perfect pitch? You get to decide. Again.

ROAD TO PATAGONIA: Based on my pithy review above, one would immediately think that throwing the kitchen sink at a script would increase its odds of success. And sometimes it does. This is one. As in, what could possibly go wrong with a West Coast motorcycle-surfing sojourn from Alaska to Patagonia? Ask not then, what could go wrong, but what, if one perseveres, could go amazingly, affirmably and absolutely right. Freedom means to keep going, no matter what. Bonus points for filming it.

IT’S NEVER OVER JEFF BUCKLEY. Just do this: Go to Spotify, iTunes or Prime, slap on your best set of headphones (no buds) and listen to Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. Written by the great Leonard Cohen, it should elicit emotions you never knew existed inside your soul. JB, died under ‘mysterious circumstances’ in 1997 at age 30. Veteran show runner Amy Berg crafts a fitting tribute to the author of what David Bowie called the best debut album of all time, Grace, by the titular singer and songwriter.

EXIT POLLS. I would very much appreciate your opinion on this matter of programming importance. The three films we screened last week, trying to capture the Zeitgeist of a society in change, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST, KEROUAC’S ROAD & EASY RIDER, all underperformed. The myriad reasons as to why, I will render to the following three. Please choose the one that best fits your personal belief.

1) We can watch them at home on a streaming platform.
2) Not compelling enough.
3) It’s the end of summer, we’re BBQing.

LIVE MUSIC WEEK. LAUREL CANYON LEGACY. This will top off our pop culture review as LCL pays musical homage to what is collectively regarded as the golden era of Rock ’n Roll, 1965 -1975. Carole King, The Byrds, C,S,N & Y, Mamas & Papas, Linda, Carly and Joni, Beach Boys, Doors and The Eagles. Sponsored by Eleven Winery, Backstreet Beat and Bainbridge Brewing. Tickets here. 

Our colossal seat sale fund raiser at GOFUNDME is in full swing. Get yours today. Please. I will sell (at least) one seat Saturday night. Be prepared. 

Peace and Love brothers and sisters.
