We 3/6/19
Up 7am; mostly sunny with single digits early and later temps to around freezing, but no melting.
Watched 'THE PHOTOGRAPHER OF MAUTHAUSEN' (Netflix) After the defeat of the anti-fascists in the Spanish Civil War of the late 1930's, Spanish prisoners were sent to Mauthausen concentration camp and stripped of citizenship. The Nazis could do anything they wanted with them and the film is about the Spanish prisoners who worked at the prison and secretly kept negatives that verified Nazi atrocities.
The, 'THE GRACE OF JAKE' (Xfinity) Jake La Botz is the non-star of this surprisingly good Independent film. It concerns a tattooed, guitar playing drifter who lands in Palestine, Arkansas to reacquaint with the father he hasn't known. He might even have been contracted to kill this man, but this possibility is never explained, but Jake is befriended by the local black community and they bond over gospel music and small-time life. Although the film boasts no stars and probably many complete non-actors, they manage to create a warm ensemble vibe. It reminded me of a grittier, less polished 'FALLING FROM GRACE'.
1PM- To FitClub West. 45" Octane (John Mellencamp). 45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.
Home, and when I picked up the mail my screwdriver was in the box. Janny and Joe had dropped it off sometime before 2pm- they were in the neighborhood.
Downstairs for a cup of instant and more Greg Iles with Richard and Linda Thompson on the speakers.
Then in the tub with more from Natchez and some 70's African Pop.
'EIGHTH' GRADE' (Amazon Prime) A charming look at being an awkward young girl on the year before she begins high school. Social media most definitely changes things with obvious pluses and minuses, but the basic 'coming of age' saga is not all that different from ages past.
'NERVE CENTER' (Amazon Prime) A Canadian football stadium sets up for a major event- cameras, half time, sky view....Asleep at the monitor.
Up 7am; mostly sunny with single digits early and later temps to around freezing, but no melting.
