Solid as always
1 of 1 found this helpful Noodler's makes excellent fountain pen inks at a good value. I like the glass bottles and the fanciful names as well as the consistent quality. Regarding this particular ink, the potential buyer should note that this is (as the color patch indicates) a lightish ink with a fair degree of orange in the tint. If your heart is set on a dark, ruby-red, please look elsewhere. But if you want a cheery, orange-tomato red, this may be your answer.

A humorous and touching character study.
Schultze Gets the Blues is an endearing, poignant, character-driven movie. It revolves around a recently retired miner in a small German town who tends his garden, drinks beer, and plays polkas on his accordion. He hears a zydeco song on the radio one day, and his music-of-choice and his routine are changed forever. He travels to the Louisiana Delta where his old world manners and grace help him bridge the language barrier.
The movie is heartwarming and touching, and I can easily see why it garnered many awards. It is full of interesting touches where the clever screenplay helps to bring depth to several of the characters. Beautifully photographed with some gorgeous shots of both the German and Gulf Coast locales, Schultze Gets the Blues is a carefully paced, yet engaging film. It is in German with English subtitles.

A moving study of character and relationships: 9 stars
1 of 1 found this helpful The Sleepy Time Gal is a character study about life and life's ending. It centers on Frances (Jacqueline Bisset), a writer and former DJ who is dying of cancer. She is seeking to clarify and perhaps gain closure on several relationships in her life, primarily with her son (played by Nick Stahl) and Bob, a former lover. A parallel story tracks the daughter, Rebecca (played by Martha Plimpton) whom Francis gave up for adoption at birth, and Rebecca's search for her birth mother.
The Sleepy Time Gal features excellent performances (especially by Bisset) and very strong writing and direction by Christopher Munch. While some might be put-off by the movie's relative lack of strict linear story-telling (that may make scenes seem disconnected), I found that the narrative style contributed positively to the movie's impact. For me, a person's life is a complex tapestry of events and relationships, not a tidy story.
I give The Sleepy Time Gal a solid 9 out of 10 stars and recommend it highly. I'd further recommend getting the DVD version and watching the deleted scenes after watching the movie. That's what I did, and I feel that it provided further insights about the characters and actions.
This is a movie devoid of zippy special effects and whiz-bang action sequences. However, if you want interesting, realistic characters and can tolerate a little ambiguity, The Sleepy Time Gal should meet with your approval.
