Birds of a Feather

10/28/2012

 
Deary me. Do you ever do that thing where you walk into a room and have no idea why, or open a kitchen cabinet with zero recollection as to what you are looking for? A show of hands again people.

Or, how about receiving a DVD in the mail or coming home from the local video store (we have a fabulous one!) only to remark, "Why look at this? Wonder what this is about?"

Well, that's how I found myself with
The Big Year. And what a Big Surprise! Don't let the opening to this trailer bother you. The performances from this cast of clowns are actually restrained, slightly silly, but a tad on the poignant side. I like all of these actors in their own ways for different reasons. But I was delightfully surprised at their collective energy here. And I am growing more enamored of the more mature, and muted Jack Black (remember Bernie from a few posts ago?) Take a look and give it a try. This was a serendipitous find for us. Besides, it's migration season after all!

This looks really fun! I will see if I can find it.

Cool, Jo! It's actually a much softer and sweeter movie, I found, than the trailer suggests. None of that "wild and crazy guy" stuff you see here. I hope you enjoy it!
