Gretch in the City gives two big thumbs-up to Star Trek (seen twice!) and Harry Potter (just saw last night). Also had two great evenings at the British Film Institute recently. The first was a double-feature of concert documentaries featuring Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson. The first was from the mid -1960s and the second was from mid-1980s and they both sounded flawless on each. Music heaven!From music to Mexican, it was then off to see the premiere of “Rudo y Cursi” starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, the two stars of “Y Tu Mama Tambien.” In Rudo they play battling brothers both trying to make it big in the world of football (aka soccer). The two stars have terrific chemistry and the film is very funny and heartwarming. Our hearts were warmed even more when the two stars and director Carlos Cuaron and his brother/producer Alfonso Cuaron took the stage for a very funny Q&A live and in person! after the film. OMG, Gale and Diego in person are muy caliente!
