Many more intelligent people than I have already summarized life as a series of dueling, chaotic and organized events. John Lennon said, life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans. Roberto Begnini’s character Bob, in Jim Jarmusch’s 1985 film Down by Law, makes the observation tha it’s a sad and beautiful world. The phrase leaves an impact on the co-star Tom Waits’s character, Zach, who begins singing the phrase in a drunken soliloquy. My point is, life happens. And life has certainly happened in my reality recently. Leaving me little time for the movie watching I prefer to do. However, as the opportunity has afforded it, I’ve been able to sneak in a film or two here and there. While I have not been to the theaters since I saw Fast Five for the MacGuffin, I have been able to slide in the occasional DVD, and a Blu-ray or two.
