***1/2 2004. Written and directed by Argentine director Santiago Carlos Oves. Jaime has just lost his job. Now his wife wants him to tell his mother to leave the apartment she lives in so that they can sell it. So Jaime will spend more and more time with his mother, talking about her, about the past and about her new boy-friend who's 69 years old. I liked a lot this bittersweet comedy coming from Argentina. The performance of veteran actress China Zorrilla and EduardoSon of the BrideBlanco is gorgeous. As the topic of the film is universal, you'll surely appreciate two or three well-observed truths about our modern societies. Recommended.

That about sums up this exquisite little study made for the big screen.Superb performances and a deft script combine to make this touching story about human relations a real gem. It is very much within the Latin idiom and will instantly be identifiable with countless millions of Spanish speakers, being as it is Argentinian cinema at its best. That is not to say by any means that others will not appreciate its delicacy and humour, since we all know about wise, understanding mothers and their overgrown"baby" sons, which this films so well explores.If you want to know exactly what it is about, you can read the Amazon synopsis. If it seems like your cup of tea, buy with confidence.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for an entertaining and very touching film. It is a wonderful tale of an only child reconnecting with his mother. Through their numerous conversations, brought about by his need to reluctantly discuss an unpleasant turn in his economic status, it marvelousy illustrates that mother does indeed "know what is best."The screenwriting and directing is top-notch. The conversations are witty, intelligent and at times, quite bittersweet.I watched this movie with my own elderly mother (also a Latina) and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. You will really enjoy this film!

This album is once again an overdubbing of Buddy Holly classic recordings with backing vocals by the Picks, a.k.a. John Pickering and the rest of The Picks who drown out Buddy's performances. Avoid this at all cost!Buyer beware!

Written with astonishing humility and wisdom, this work continually unfolds, taking the reader into areas of unexpected thoughts and feelings. It beckons us to be still, do something by doing nothing, just "be." There is no "I" to broadcast, no personality code to decipher, no persona to seek understanding - just an allowance of what already is. It is a masterpiece.Once it's been read cover-to-cover, the book doesn't end. The core of its message continues to present itself in daily experiences and observations of a given moment. It's in those places, unscheduled and without seeking purpose, that we're able to catch glimpses of what may have eluded us."Saying Yes to Life" allowed me to appreciate and observe the genuine feelings of happiness I experience, even while in pain and discomfort. It is possible to live peace and in the same moment, face sadness and disappointment.For me, this is remarkable.
