Summer's almost here! Let's look back at spring.
Movies Seen: Nine, with four, (well, technically, three), in a theater.
The best movie of the month was definitely The Cabin In the Woods, something I liked so much, I actually paid money and went to see it again. You can read my review here.
The other two, which I also reviewed, were Lockout, and Darling Companion (which was a capsule review during the Film Festival.)
None of the DVD viewings were that memorable, though I have to say I was kind of astounded by how boring J. Edgar was.
Books Read: Five. Click through to read my brief reviews.
Charlotte au Chocolat by Charlotte Silver
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler and Maira Kalman
Women Then: Jerry Schatzberg 1954-1969 by Jerry Schatzberg
Drive by James Sallis
Mad Women by Jane Maas
Fancy Dinners Out: One, at Le Central. I ate snails.
Live Shows Seen: Three! One was the San Francisco Ballet's presentation of three short works by Balanchine. (The last piece, "The Four Temperaments," was the best, which is ironic because I tend to prefer story driven ballets.)
I also saw the play Maple & Vine at ACT. It was fun, and worth seeing because of the costumes, but I'm not sure I entirely got what the ultimate message was...
Lastly, I saw John C. Reilly's band, which played at Bimbo's. It was good, and he's got a good voice, but they chose to do a lot of down tempo folks songs and country covers, so it was kind of a snooze. Something I'd like to listen to at home, but not exactly a rousing show...
Shoes Bought: One pair: these patent leather pumps, which are a nice combination of comfort and dressiness, and pretty comfortable to boot, on sale at DSW.
