What the Beck???
Are we on Mars????
I had dropped the dogs off at the vet in Sandwich,
and pulled up behind this contraption.
Even as it turned I was unsure of its purpose.
I decided it must be a piece of farm machinery.
Who knows what this thing does?
It looked like something from another planet to me.
Bucket List Update
Academy Award Nominated Movies
1936 Anthony
Adverse
starring: Fredric March, Olivia de Haviliand, Donald
Woods, Edmund Gwenn, and Claude Rains.
plot – Set in the early 1800s, an orphan gets a second
chance. He
begins successfully, but follows a dark path to Africa, where he becomes a slave
trader. After a friend dies, he returns
to Italy, then Paris. He changes and reunites with his wife, and this movie
had a surprise ending. Yeah!
I
liked this movie. I was frustrated
when the main character made stupid decisions that changed the type of man he
could have been all along.
1936 Libeled
Lady
starring: Myrna Loy, William Powell, Jean Harlow,
Spencer Tracy
plot – A newspaper is being sued for libel, so the
editor comes up
with a scheme to end
the lawsuit.
What
a great cast!! It is a cute movie
with fabulous actors!
1937 Captains
Courageous
starring: Freddie Bartholomew, Spencer Tracy, Lionel
Barrymore,
Melvin Douglas, Mickey Rooney, and John Carradine
plot – Freddie is so great at playing a spoiled,
wealthy brat. He is
a rich kid who falls overboard from a cruise ship. He is fished
out of the drink by a Portuguese fisherman. The boy learns the value
of hard work, honesty, and true friendship.
Wow! This movie had an awesome cast. The story is classic and the message
is so important for everyone. This
one is a great and will last forever.
1938 Four
Daughters
starring: Claude Rains, Priscilla Lane, Rosemary
Lane, Lola Lane,
Gale Page, and John Garfield.
plot – A man has four beautiful, musical daughters.
Beaus begin entering the picture, as does a composer. Chaos becomes
the norm for the family.
This
was a really cute movie. It is light and fun to watch. The typical
overprotective father, and family members who definitely love each other.
1933 Dark
Victory
starring: Bette Davis, George Brent, Humphrey
Bogart, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Ronald Reagan, Henry Travers, Cora Witherspoon
plot – A fun-filled social butterfly is diagnosed
with a brain tumor,
but her doctor and best friend keep it a secret from her. She eventually finds out and becomes wild and reckless.
She is mad at the doctor and her friend. She forgives
them, marries, and is happy until the tumor kills her.
This
was a great movie. It makes you wonder how awful it would be if people you love
and trust kept something important from you. She did go way over the edge when
she realized what they had done, but it ends well.
1967 Doctor
Dolittle
starring: Rex Harrison, Samantha
Eggar, Anthony Newley, Sir Richard Attenborough
plot – A self-proclaimed veterinarian
goes in search of the Great
Sea Snail
I thought that I was going to love this one, but I thought it was
long (almost three hours) and painfully slow.
1967 The
Graduate
starring: Dustin Hoffman, Anne
Bancroft, Katharine Ross, Norman
Fell, Alice Ghostley, Buck Henry, William Daniels,
Murray Hamilton, Elizabeth Williams
plot – A college graduate returns home
and begins an affair with
the father’s partner’s wife. The graduate then falls in love with the woman’s daughter, and eventually steals her away.
This was a good movie. It was a classic for the 60’s and was
always talked about because of the older woman, younger man affair.
