Feast Fit for a Dwarf – The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

If you’re a regular reader, you will have seen recent posts where I’ve mentioned my new boyfriend James – he wrote the Argo review, and one on the Gotti movies; I mentioned him in a few other posts and I’m in the midst…

21st Philadelphia Film Festival Opening Red Carpet with David O. Russell, director of “Silver Linings Playbook” and Matthew Quick, author of the same entitled book. All day Thursday, October 18, 2012, I was feeling out-of-sorts and low on energy, but all that seemed to disappear the moment I stepped up to the press bullpen to take red carpet photos at the Opening of the 21st Philadelphia Film Festival, featuring the opening film – Silver Linings Playbook. Director David O. Russell (The Fighter) was the prime red carpet target, along with the author of the book “Silver Linings Playbook” Matthew Quick.
