Invictus

Aside from Morgan Freeman, who makes a fabulous Nelson Mandela, there's this to savor about Invictus, a rosy tale of racial reconciliation neatly wrapped in a triumphalist sports movie: The film is blessedly free of Obama parallels. Also, we could use a happy global moment, and Eastwood picks one out of the otherwise rocky history of South Africa, when the country's first post-apartheid president stepped out of the jail where he'd languished for 27 years and firmly set aside revenge politics in favor of national unity.

An Inspiring Movie worth seeing, I loved it & for me it was well worth the outing!

  1. Hi Katie. How are you feeling? Genny said you are having some surgery? When? What is it for? Please let me know. I think of you all the time. I know you are enjoying having Sean home. About that recipe for the quiche. Look on my blog roll for For The Love Of Cooking. She has a fabulous blog. This recipe is a few posts back. Let me know how you like it. We all loved it.
    Take care, and have a wonderful Christmas with Sean home. Love,
    Kristy
