Mamie Gummer: Must Be Tough to be an Actress and be Meryl Streep's Daughter!

When I saw her name as the credits came on, I instantly knew that she was Meryl Streep's daughter, since I knew Meryl's married surname was Gummer.  Anyhow, she does look like her mother and she's a very capable actress, much like her Mom.  Anyhow, must be tough getting out of Mom's shadow.  She does very well here though, she even sings!  Not a very difficult role playing a loony since there's so much room to move.  I saw in her credits that she's in The Good Wife.  Excited to see her there.

Movie Review: 'The Ward' A Big Yawn

Today's horror movies have evolved so much that John Carpenter's brand of horror has not kept up at all!  Frankly, his latest offering, 'The Ward' was a big yawn!  Not once did anyone in the theater I was in, scream or jump in their seats.  Not that it was boring, it's just that the storyline is a bit dated and the effects were a bit of the 80s stuff, which would not frighten anyone now. Not unless it's The Exorcist!  Anyhow, I am a big fan of horror movies, but you can sit this out.  You might fall asleep in the theater, sayang naman the pera.
