In the hustle and bustle of getting the Now Showing Event ready for this week's fabulous show, I took a moment out to review, in my opinion, a Grander picture. As I sat in awe over the beautiful vignettes, I realized there was a common theme throughout, Friendship and Hope. From the Wizard of Oz to Narnia, to the entrance of a Secret Garden we are taken away to another World were beauty, courage and love bring us home. The dazzle of magic in Marry Poppins and Practical Magic creates an element of fun to an ordinary life that if one where to be alone ,would not be the same. From grand parties, to a small southern cafe, to a winery in California and off to a beautiful bakery, the movies; The Great Gatsby, Fried Green Tomatoes, Sideways and It's Complicated prove that the gift of sharing our lives with the ones we love is what makes them full. The English Patient as well as James Bond embark heroic adventures acknowledging the compassion of a hero and hope that good will prevail. You see, Cinema captures us, takes us on journeys to lands we may have never seen, we feel emotion which we may have never felt and brings us back to the basic concepts that are so vital to our lives, Hope and Love. See you this weekend, my friends, for a little Friendship and Hope,
Sweet
