Let’s face it, viewers don’t tune into the Emmy Awards to see who takes home the Outstanding Sound Editing For Nonfiction Programming (Single Or Multi-Camera) award. We tend to want drama, surprises, and a few wardrobe mishaps or unexpected knock-it-out of the parks.

Katy Hall. Katy Hall. I am (almost) starting to feel sorry for you. Well, not really, but it sounds good to say that. You will remember the young Ms. Hall from her recent HuffPost piece “Katy Hall: Stay Off My Beach.” Ok, truth be told, that was IW’s take on Katy’s article, but it certainly described the tone of Ms. Hall’s entitled reaction to outsiders (i.e., Kate Gosselin and her kids) visiting upper crust Bald Head Island where the landed gentry, such as the Hall family, have a second (third, fourth?) home.

Recently we were pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Viviane Knight, who is the conductor for the West Australian Nightingale Chorale. She follows Imperfect Women and left a comment on one of our recent posts concerning Abby Sunderland. In her email she shared with me some information regarding the Chorale and the works she does and we wanted to share her passion with you.

PG-13 for crude and sexual content, violence, some drug material and language
You know all those high-octane, walk on the wild side, crazy, rogue cop buddy movies. Well, this isn’t one of them. It’s about “the other guys”, the cops with the desk jobs who crunch numbers and write reports.

“When I was a kid, I could see a movie AND get popcorn for a quarter.”
Now, I don’t know if that’s entirely true, but my dad was a kid in the ’50s. And I heard this refrain every freakin’ time we went to the theater.

PG-13 for sequences of crude and sexual content, some partial nudity and language and sexual content
Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, together again (they were both in The 40 Year Old Virgin and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.) This could either be really really funny or really really stupid. Sorry, I have to go for it:
This movie is Schmucking Funny!!

R for strong sexual content, nudity, language and some teen drug and alcohol use
I have been waiting very impatiently for this one. In part, because I just adore Julianne Moore and Annette Bening. And in part, because I’m so glad that finally a major motion picture is being done about a normal gay couple that really has nothing to do with them being gay!

PG-13 for sequences of violence and sequences of action
This is yet another movie where Leonardo DiCaprio runs around looking confused and constipated. Ok ok, I’m being a bit harsh here. But I have been referring to it as Shutter Island 2 with good reason. He’s essentially playing the same type of character in the same type of movie. The setting is different, and this time we’re dealing with dreams instead of psychosis. Though some would argue same difference. But there was definitely a sense of deja vu as a movie goer.

I’m not going to lie. When I was first contacted about attending the press screening of Ramona and Beezus in my area, I had mixed feelings. Feelings like, woot! free movie and press? me? and Ramona? really? is there not a Johnny Depp flick that needs reviewing? But if you know me, you know that woot! free movie won and, hello, I have an 11-year-old daughter, so of course we would be first in line to see a Selena Gomez movie.
