Telluride: Day 1 Movies

 Traditionally, our first movie is at 5 pm on Friday. That gives us time to relish Telluride itself. We eat a light breakfast in the plaza in Mtn Village, go down to the farmer's market and finally hang out a bit at the festival headquarters.  AND this year, learning that I had a broken toe, Tanya decided we needed to go for a five mile hike UP to a waterfall and back.  Having gotten herself in amazing shape, it is now payback time for all the years of exertion I've pressed upon her.  Ah, sisterly schadenfreude, alive and well.

Movie #1: Everyday
Moaning Myrtle of Harry Potter fame and John Simm of Life on Mars star in this film about a woman and her four children trying to keep their lives together while the husband does jail time for theft. The film is essentially shot in real time (over 5 years) and the behaviors of the kids are real, not acted. That's the hook.  We found it interesting, altho, I mean....have you hear Moaning Myrtle's voice? Now that takes some getting used to.

MS1 rating: 3.5

  1. Is the MSone and MStwo rating sister on a scale of 100 or 10 or 5? Sounds like a movie I'm glad I've missed permanently.

    Payback is great! Go T3!!!!! Next she'll be stealing T2's bagels and drinking white wine (well, maybe no on the white wine - champagnes, yes, white wine no).

    Thanks for the new blog - I'm really excited about it!

    I didn't hear about the five mile hike - too bad Tolar couldn't go.

  2. broken toe? I'm out of the loop--unless you blogged it and I missed it. OK, I gotta get to the new blog.
