*** "If I spoke about it...if I did...what would I tell you? I wonder? Would I tell you about the time? It happened a long time ago, it seems, in the last days of a fair prince's reign. Or would I tell you about the place? A small city near the coast but far from everything else. Or...I don't know...would I tell you about her? The princess without voice. Or perhaps I would just warn you, about the truth of these facts and the tale of love and loss, and the monster who tried to destroy it all."
(TBC)
Steal away, to the dark end of the street, mmm mmm
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us, oh someday
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me
And when the daylight hour rolls around
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Oh darling, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street, mmm mmm
Songwriters: Chips Moman / Dan Penn

"From the dark end of the street, to the bright side of the road," ....made my Sunday nite. The Street still has dark ends...ad you've gotta make endsmeet...

* Molly’s Game / Jocuri secrete Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain), o fostă schioare devine organizatoarea unui joc de poker la nivel de top în Hollywood şi e arestată de FBI în cadrul unei operaţiuni care ţinteşte mafia rusească. Biografiile scandaloase, sau filmele cu elemente biografice cu escroci sau oameni care au încălcat legea sau au găsit debuşeuri în ea şi la limita ei şi au făcut asta cu stil şi cu relativ succes, sunt foarte la modă în Hollywood- exemple de titluri asemănătoare recente, I Tonya, War Dogs, Wolf of Wall Street, Gold, The Big Short. Molly’s Game e o nouă mostră de acest tip, un film inteligent, bine scris, filmat impecabil (de daneza Charlotte Bruus Christensen) şi montat superb care a avut 2 nominalizări la Globurile de Aur, pentru cea mai bună actriţă, şi cel mai bun scenariu. Mai ales e jucat la superlativ, Jessica Chastain e la un nou career high după Mrs. Sloan şi Zero Dark Thirty, decolteuri şi rochii noi spectaculoase la fiecare scenă- mi-a amintit de performanţa Juliei Roberts în Erin Brocovich. Ar fi frumos să ia un Oscar dar mi-e teamă că subiectul şi tema nu vor fi prizate de Academia AMPAS. Chastain e secondată de o distribuţie eclectivă cu un Idris Elba excelent în rolul avocatului lui Molly, Kevin Costner e tatăl lui Molly, Michael Cera, un jucător de poker -Player X, model compozit al unor actori celebri pokerişti din Hollywood, Graham Greene, judecătorul Foxman şi Jeremy Strong, antreprenorul Dean Keith.
