This evening I watched Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, which was fascinating. It was recommended to me a month or so ago (here, I think). Documentary about a recent year in the life of comedienne Joan Rivers. Interesting that she has always thought of herself as an actress rather than a comedienne and seems bitter that she's never been appreciated that way.
Scoop made by Woody Allen, who also plays this extremely annoying character that I constantly wanted to kick and tell to shut up. Scarlett Johansson, Ian McShane, and Hugh Jackman. McShane plays dead reporter who whispers (figuratively) his suspicions about the serial killer running around London to Johansson, who plays a college student reporter. Hugh Jackman, scion of a rich and powerful family is the suspect. Stooooopid and utterly unbelievable, although it's still a joy to watch McShane and Jackman do anything.
Despicable Me, also recommended. And thank you whoever did. See, I thought it was a live action movie and it sounded awful from the very little I heard about it. Nah. It's a wonderful animation --funny, clever, good to look at, and moving. So why on earth was it not nominated for the Oscar in feature animation???? It should have been.
