My Top 5 Obsessions This Week
Greetings to all my semi constant readers!! Everyone is having the post holiday blues. I will give you a quick 5 this time , some of my favorites right now.
1) La La Land has got to be one of the most creative musicals to come out of Hollywood in years. The pairing of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone is magical. The love story between Gosling -a jazz pianist and Stone an aspiring actress is told with a lush score and some great numbers . Purchase the soundtrack while you are at. I cannot stop playing it. "City of Stars" is hauntingly beautiful.
2) The OA has got to be one of my favorite series on Netflix right now. It has a compelling story and a great cast. There are all the elements that made Stranger Things such a surprise hit with a more adult theme. No spoilers here!! Brit Marling is luminous as Prairie Johnson and a favorite of mine Phyllis Smith from The Office is a revelation. This series offers hope to the hopeless and faith to those with doubt. The emotional impact of the final episode of the season shows why we need both!
3) Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events on Netflix with the Amazing Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf is a darkly funny watch with a fav of mine Joan Cusack. The Baudelaire Children are adorable and the production has all my favorite aspects of Pushing Daisies thanks to Barry Sonnenfeld and Bo Welch.
4) City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin - the third installment of The Passage is as engrossing a read as the first two installments. It follows our protagonists as they fight the final battle with the virals. If you loved the first two you will love this as much as I did. Our heroes will stay with you long after the book is done, Get all three right now!

5) Rounding out number five is M. Night Shyamalan's new movie offering "Split" starring James McAvoy as a man with 24 different personalities who kidnaps three teenage girls. If you are a fan of M. Night Shyamalan You love this even more because the last few minutes there is a big jaw dropping tie-in!
