The Iceman Cometh

The past few days have been lovely, haven't they? They closed up shop at my place of indentured servitude, so I've been staying home with Kitty and watching movies:

The History Boys
Notes on a Scandal
Dreamgirls (don't ask how many times I've watched this--you really don't want to know)

Now I think I'll get ready to watch Mr. & Mrs. Bridge. Set in 1930's--40's Kansas City, this might be one of my favorite Merchant-Ivory films. There's very little plot; nothing much really happens in the film, but it's beautiful, and Joanne Woodward's performance as India Bridge earned her a well-deserved Oscar nomination. I love the last scene where she's stuck in her garage during a snowstorm. It's a perfect image for days like these.
