Sunday

 I am always shocked when Sunday  arrives. Can't believe we only have one more day after today.

 What a great beginning to today!  This was a tribute to Christian Bale, and first we got to meet him being interviewed by Leonard Maltin. Did you know he's British?!   Who has ever heard him speak in his normal accent? He's always played Americans!

 They first showed clips from about 10 of his movies which was really fun to watch. Then we saw his new film called Hostiles.  It takes place in 1892 and Bale plays a military man charged with escorting Native Americans back to their homeland. Of course the trip across the country was fraught with serious challenges.  Excellent acting. A western.

Lean On Pete
This is a story about a young teenager who is parent less  and latches on to a man ( Steve Buscemi) who owns racehorses. The boy gets very attached to one horse: Pete.    It's a Tender story, sometimes sad.

Loving Vincent is a magical film that blends animation & live action -- all painted in The Van Gough style by a team of 125 painters. Amazing!  Anyone who's an art fan or studying art would appreciate the craftsmanship here. The filmmakers gave a talk about how they made it happen.

Battle of the Sexes tells the tale of Billie Jean King ( Emma Stone) going against Boby Riggs ( Steve Carrell) and the feminist battle of the day. Surprisingly both actors pulled off their roles & we forgot
Who they were.  This was a good history lesson for younger folks who didn't live through it.

Wonderful day!
