Blue Jasmine. Cate Blanchett DuBois.

With part II of our Woody on Blu-ray mini season, we managed to win over a few Woody-haters. This 78 year old director  just keeps on going! (Energizer Woody?)

Of course, there are a few annoying things about Blue Jasmine (I watched it three times in one week, so started to notice a bit of stilted dialogue), but Cate Blanchett’s performance was simply wonderful. She brought Blanche DuBois into the twenty-first century, Xanax and all. Bobby Cannavale’s Stanley Kowalski-esque turn was also nicely modernized… real men are considerate these days it would seem.

Thanks again to our popcorn chefs, Julienne and Mike 😉
