Hugo review and than some...

Hanging on by the seat of your pants?
Sure you are.
And I bet you have bated breaths too?
Well, the time has come my friends to hear the words that tell you my opinion; what were you hoping for something good? This is as good as it gets, kidding, but another great movie!
But it is oh so good; there are four thumbs up for that très impossible garçon, nom est: HUGO!
The whole ordeal for thee petite boy of eleven ans; he is an orphan when his father an engineer of sorts with fixing things, who has found an automaton with the power to write, in storage at the museum he works at and brings it home for himself and Hugo to fix together. Sadly, Hugo’s father tragically dies in a fire, before they complete their mutually loving task of the mechanical man being repaired. And Hugo’s drunken uncle takes him away to live with him at the train station where he too fixes things, the train stations clocks, and he tells Hugo he will no longer go to school but learn how to fix clocks! This makes Hugo not happy!
Weeks go by and Hugo is all alone, no uncle around and he has quite an adventure trying to continue to fix the clocks so no one knows that his uncle is not there, and tries to fix mechanical man that he and his Father had started to work on together… he has a notebook of plans and even sneakily steals parts from a toy repair shop where…now if I told you the rest you wouldn’t want to see it; so that’s it friends!
It was a great movie with an interesting sub-plot too and so I do believe it is meant for any of you PG people out there, because there are some frightening parts for the too little ones, but an all round marvelous flick, that Hubby and I both agreed and that it was enjoyed tremendously! A Martin Scorsese directorial and production; what more can anyone want or need?
Coming to us while we wait in our armchairs once again this week is, The Adventures of Tintin, animated but a Stephen Spielberg offering and the Descendents with George Clooney, need I say more? What an eclectic taste we have in entertainment, don’t you think?

And so more of the good stuff to come reporting wise…

Hubby just brought more of our crop of tomatoes in, Romas again, in our not as bumper as our crop was at this time last year, but slowly coming in and we think, at least Hubby thinks that something is nibbling at them. Any-who, at least it is not those horrid tomato worms!
It looks that way to me too, but it looks more like a pecking, as if the crows are taking little nibbles. Surprising, even with our Whirligigs that Hubby made years ago, one’s of three dolphins in descending size, a family, swimming in tandem and the other is a lighthouse with a sailboat floating on waves, cute. I designed them with him but as usual he did all the wood work and wiring! What a team, though, hmm?

On that more than adequate something to chew on, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly count all your blessings and share your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
