The Don Recommends

The Don fancies himself somewhat of a Renaissance Man. He enjoys art, music, fine dining (well any dining for that matter), and the ladies. Recently the Don attended the movies to view the short films nominated for the 2011 Oscars (animated and live action).

The Don highly recommends the Gruffalo from the animated nominations, however the other animated films were mostly forgettable. The Gruffalo is an endearing story that kids of all ages will enjoy apparently based on a popular children's book (since the Don has no kids, this was news to him).

The live action films were all very good and the Don enjoyed them thoroughly. The stories told were funny, serious, and interesting. It's well worth the time to enjoy these small films and the short vignettes of people's lives they tell.

If attending these films however be oprepared to deal with inconsiderate poepl who place large bags on the floor near an aisle seat and then do not move the bag when you make an effort to enter the row in a fairly dark room. Not to mention the freaks hanging out in the lobby in what appeared to be some film club meeting of sorts.

Best Wishes
-The Don
