Rich People

On Tuesday I saw Adaptation (2002). In the 2004 Oscars it won Best Actor in a Supporting Role-Chris Cooper, and was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role - Nicolas Cage, Best Actress in a Supporting Role - Meryl Streep, Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published. "An account of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's (Cage) attempt to adapt Susan Orlean's (Streep) non-fiction book The Orchid Thief, which is the story of John Laroche (Cooper), a plant dealer who clones rare orchids then sells them to collectors. We see the action of the book as we see Kaufman struggle to adapt it into a movie. This is presumably a somewhat true story, as Charlie Kaufman is the real life screenwriter of Adaptation."
I spent the weekend in Riverdale at Ruchie & Johno. I t was really nice. Faye slept at me Saturday night and we watched Witches of Eastwick (1987), which had a really good cast but was dumb. It was nominated for Oscars for Best Sound and Best Music. "Alex (Cher), Jane(Susan Sarandon), and Suki (Michele Pfeiffer) are three bored New England woman left to live without their husbands. They innocently conjure up a mystery man, who could satisfy all their desires. A new man moves into town - and he fits the bill perfectly. Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson) is filthy rich and wild eyed, and within days the three women have all discovered almighty power within themselves. Will good triumph over evil, or will Daryl continue to have his evil way with his witches ?"
On Sunday I tried out Synergy and decided that I'd join, but not as part of GlobalFit because the gym itself will give me a better deal. $415 for 13 months, a personal trainer session and I can freeze my membership when I run outside or go away. After the gym I watched Alex and Emma (2003). "'Loosely Based on a True Love Story' is a romantic comedy starring Kate Hudson as Emma and Luke Wilson as Alex. Alex is an author whose writer's block and gambling debts have landed him in a jam. In order get loan sharks off his back, he must finish his novel in 30 days or wind up dead. To help him complete his manuscript he hires stenographer Emma. As Alex begins to dictate his tale of a romantic love triangle to the charming yet somewhat opinionated stenographer, Emma challenges his ideas at every turn. Her unsolicited yet intriguing input begins to inadvertently influence Alex and his story and soon real life begins to imitate art." It was cute, but I like Kate Hudson, so I think all her movies are cute.
