I have heard about a movie by this book, but i don't know more about it.Wilmohttp://wilmo.overblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-33388746770577605622011-12-18T09:16:18.225-05:002011-12-18T09:16:18.225-05:00Lucky you, Penny, to have seen the town.

I love the houses of the men in that movie. I'm quite, quite sure you will enjoy Feed the Fish.<br /><br />Kay, it is funny, but also very warm-hearted. I can't count how many times I've seen it.<br />I haven't seen Galaxy Quest, but I was a big Monk fan.<br />If you like AR, did you see The Song of Lunch on PBS last month? I haven't yet, but I DVRed it.<br /><br />Peggy, I put Helen West in my queue. I've just seen the first Vera. Brenda Blethyn was excellent, as always. The story was a bit dark and twisted, but I'm going to watch more because Vera's character is so interesting and complicated.<br /><br />Kay, I put up with the prices because there's no other way I could see all the British tv shows I love, or independent movies like this. For example, right now I have at home, The King's Speech and Pie in the Sky.<br /><br />Class factotum, I've always been interested in Wisconsin; for one reason because my beloved Gladys Taber grew up there.<br /><br />Debbie, I do too!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-70307231874805123702011-12-17T15:25:54.432-05:002011-12-17T15:25:54.432-05:00Oh - I'll have to rent this one...my husband l...Oh - I'll have to rent this one...my husband loves Tony Shalhoub!Debbie Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630059470408161434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-88017965502921098942011-12-17T11:31:41.810-05:002011-12-17T11:31:41.810-05:00I moved to Milwaukee three years ago.

We had a fish boil while we were there and that was grand fun. <br />I think you will like 'The Helen West Casebook' at netflix also.

I have not heard of this movie so I am glad you told me about it.<br />This actor,the one who played "Monk" on TV, did you ever see the movie, "Galaxy Quest"? He was in that. It has a lot of other stars in it, Sigourney Weaver, Tim Allen, Alan Rickman (English, you know I love him!)... check it out! Hope you are enjoying this time up to Christmas, dear Nan! :-)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-46083699662958977852011-12-16T16:32:42.583-05:002011-12-16T16:32:42.583-05:00You had me interested pretty much from the get-go...You had me interested pretty much from the get-go, Nan, but, then the mention of the Polar Plunge (Chicago has one, too) and then Door County . . . well, I'll just have to see this.. <br /><br />When our daughter Katy was looking at colleges, we were driving along MN along the Mississippi. It was a very cold, dismal October day. I had a taste for a slice of pie and a cup of coffee, mentioned it, Kate concurred. She no sooner said "me too" than a sign went by. Home of Grumpy Old Men. Ha! It was the actual town of Waubesha where the movie was filmed. We looked at each in silent agreement. The car turned itself around, and we found the Anderson Hotel, an ancient establishment that had the best pie one could ever imagine. Your mention of Grump Old Men brought that to mind. Sorry for rambling. Off in search of some pie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-13869891204845487432011-12-16T15:32:22.237-05:002011-12-16T15:32:22.237-05:00Oh, Yvette, in between the nice ones, I've see...Oh, Yvette, in between the nice ones, I've seen Vera (English detective), and my usual tv shows, like Castle, Rizzoli & Isles, and Person of Interest. :<)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-72151627041218950722011-12-16T14:57:03.257-05:002011-12-16T14:57:03.257-05:00Sounds like something I might like, Nan.

I'm adding it to my Netflix instant queue. <br /><br />I feel quite like a movie anarchist since while you've been watching these nice quite life enhancing films, I've been watching rock'em/sock'em thrillers.

I am glad such movies are made - and watched and reviewed on our blogs!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.com
