Sing Your Own Song: An Opera Love Story (2014)
Living from the heart
Would that we all had something we loved doing as much as the participants in this uplifting documentary. With advancing age being a challenge for all of us, these opera singers have a secret to joyful navigation through it, and it will uplift the viewer, too. The filmmaker has a tender feel for how special these people are, and for making a subject interesting that most people pay little attention to. I would have loved going to their playground when it was happening! How delightful a way to go out to dinner it would have been. There are some wonderful singers here, so listening to darn good opera goes along with feeling for how these old-timers have been doing in this trip into a culture they are part of.
Under the Boardwalk: The Monopoly Story (2010)
I was the iron and the movie brought it all back to me
If you were obsessed with Monopoly, as I was, you will love this film. And you will be amazed at how the world has been as obsessed as you were. What a heart warmer this movie is, bringing you back to the pre internet days when playing a game of Monopoly, that sometimes went on for days, was the most exciting thing to do. It all comes alive and then some in a delicious romp through history. Who knew that Monopoly is an industry that has gone through many incarnations and is available in what seems to be every language in the world, not to mention being the occasion of a robust tournament circuit that is in full flower today? This beautiful and well executed production, which stays interesting throughout, has to leave you smiling.
