A movie worth watching

An old movie worth seeing again is Iris a 2002 release . The sad and moving story of novelist Iris Murdoch as captured by notes from her husband John Bayley.

Sad because it depicts Murdoch's life starting with her fight against Alzheimer's disease. However, it is something worth watching since the disease afflicts a lot of our seniors and something we should all be aware off,

Amazing cast, Judy Dench, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Bonneville and Kate Winslet. Acting is superb.

I'll give it 3.5 out of 5.

Free on Amazon Prime and YouTube

Great Movie Review Still Mine

Still Mine - 2012

A fantastic Canadian production of a love and true story. We now call these type of films, " Grownup Love Stories".

Starring Genevieve Bujold and James Cromwell and directed by Michael McGowan.

This is a must see feature, both Bujold and Cromwell performed superbly.

The couple has spent 61 years and still in love.

A gem, this is a hidden treasure that can be found at Amazon. Please take the time to enjoy it and reflect a lot.

To me , this is a 4.5 rating out of 5

After years of pain, coal becomes one of the hottest commodities of 2016

After years of pain, coal becomes one of the hottest commodities of 2016: Less than a year after the coal industry was declared to be in terminal decline, the fossil fuel has staged its steepest price rally in over half a decade, making it one of the hottest major commodities. Cargo prices for Australian thermal coal from its Newcastle terminal, seen as the Asian benchmark, have soared over 35 percent since mid-June to more than one-year highs of almost $70 a tonne, pushed by surprise increases in Chinese imports.

Movie of the week is : I'll see you in My Dreams

Because of the heat I could not catch up with the yard or even work in my garage. So, I decided to watch a movie without interruptions.

I'll see you in my Dreams is a relatively new production (2015), it is a love and sad story that reflects part of what goes on with the "over 55" crowd that feels lonely.
Blythe Danner plays the role of a widower that has been living by and within herself until, for a brief time, she finds love again.

I must say that this is probably the best work I've seen from Ms Danner, she is superb. Sam Elliott is the co-star although his role is limited in this script he does an outstanding job

The supporting cast is also worth mentioning, Rhea Perlman is getting better and better with time. June Squibb (Scent of a Woman) looks better than ever . We will also find Martin Starr playing one of his most serious characters in his career.
Max Gail ( Barney Miller as Stan "Wojo" Wojciehowicz,The Frontier and twice nominated for Best Supporting Actor) plays a supporting role.

First line stars and supporting cast.

To me; this is a 4.25 out of 5.
I am biased because I love sentimental and love stories. I highly recommend this movie but not if you are a Millennium. Watch it in 25 years and you will understand.

Loved it!!! It will get your thoughts going. A real jewel of a movie.

Available on Netflix, Amazon and many other networks.

Great News, we added 255 thousand jobs in July, most economists were predicting anything from 110 to 200 thousand. I am including this table, please take a look at a couple of indicators that I follow.
i) participation rate has been increasing for the last three months, this is very important.
Business inventories have been down for the last three months however, although not a great increase, manufacturing gained 6000 jobs in July, this could be a trend signaling increasing inventories .
Let us not forget that we have lost almost 200 thousand jobs in the oil industry over the last 24 months. When oil breaks the 55-58 Mark we will be recovering some of these jobs.
