So this is kind of the perfect movie for the mom of three boys. :) It's kind of a perfect movie, whatever your gender or circumstance. The main character ages during the same years as our oldest son, and he loved the movie, especially all the context clues related to politics and pop culture. It's really just about regular people dealing with regular things... all of them growing up. And how much do I love Ethan Hawke? Don't miss!
Also, today the day: Happy Birthday to DEAR WANDERING WILDEBEEST AND OTHER POEMS FROM THE WATER HOLE!! I am pleased to share the day with Lee Bennett Hopkins' latest, MANGER which includes poems by wonderful poet-friends. Love! It's the Christmas story, from the perspective of the animals. And it's been awarded a STARRED review by Kirkus. Congratulations, all! More on this very soon. :)
Definitely looking forward to Boyhood! How can you resist not being curious to see those characters age 12 years for real! Unbelievable the patience of that cast and crew!
ReplyDeleteHi, Irene. I'm dying to see this movie.
ReplyDeleteYour book arrived in the mail yesterday! I'm saving it for the weekend, when I can really savor the poems. CONGRATS!
