Dome Pondering Movie Review: Enough Said (2013)

What is it about? 

A recent divorcee begins the healing process by dating a man who truly understands her, just to learn that he is the ex-husband of her new friend. 

Who is in it? 

Julia Louis-Dreyfus - Eva

James Gandolfini - Albert

Favorite Scene: 

Eva and Albert's first date - which is filled with one liners and smart, yet, embarrassingly hilarious quips - is pretty entertaining.

Favorite Quote: 

Eva: I could not believe what I was watching! No brains, and the fake cheekbones, and the fake boobs. Do you like fake boobs?
Albert: ...No. No, I like real boobs.
Eva: Yeah - I got real boobs.
Albert: ...That's workin' out for us then. 

Review: 

Enough Said is a pretty quirky movie with an very interesting plot. The dynamic of the plot is a good one surrounded by a character's torn feelings of not only being between her new friend/client and her ex-husband, who also happens to be her new boyfriend. However, the film also does a nice and subtle job of lending to the idea of appreciating relationships for the simpler things, such as the mystery of learning about another person, and not focusing on the little nitpicks in differences we seek. 

Another tidbit was the reality of a divorcee set to lose her child to college, and struggling with the though of having an empty nest. 

Despite the real-life scenarions this film tackles, what truly makes Enough Said so great is the acting. It's tough to beat Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandofini. Both are excellent in this picture. 

All in all, Enough Said is a decent watch, especially at its 93 minute runtime. 

Grade: 3/5

DP Review of the Alternate Knicks Orange Jersey

One of the good aspects about having a blog and being truthful and honest about it, is the hindsight thought process it provides. DP devotees already know how much I love my New York Knicks, and how excited I was about their new jerseys last year. It was a new look that was desperately needed ( DP Review On Knicks New Uniforms ).  In reviewing those jerseys last year, I had the following comments in regards to then-rumors regarding the addition of an alternative orange jersey for the Knicks and overall NBA changes to the Christmas Day special jerseys:  "As long as we do not add an "alternative jersey" (I read rumors of an orange one - woof!) (and the league-wide Spanish jerseys are fine). And please, please - PLEASE - let's finally do away with the awful green jerseys we feel the need to wear on Christmas and St. Patrick's day! Pretty please!"

Quick Ponder: Daily Armor

Imagine, if we can see the dents and scratches, the smashes and chaos,  on the daily armor, each of us put on. Just imagine. 

Predictions and Wild Guesses for the 2024 MLB Season

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports After an off-season where the Los Angeles Dodgers spent the equivalent of a nation's GDP to acquire talent - I'm not sure if that's factual, but it felt like it - the 2024 MLB Season is finally here.  Sure, this Yankees fan is not just annoyed with the big spending of the Dodgers, but yeah, secretly envious as well. That used to be us, man!  Regardless, baseball is back on the docket. While my beloved New York Knicks have my attention and all of my heart, including what has been a fun March Madness period for men's and women's basketball, it's soothing to have baseball back. I can't explain what it is, but baseball just does that for me.  Nonetheless, let's do what we do in this post every year. Here are my wacky predictions and wild guesses for the 2024 season.  --- STANDINGS (WINS) AL EAST Orioles - 93 Yankees - 90 Blue Jays - 85 Red Sox - 82 Rays - 80 AL CENTRAL Twins - 88 Tigers - 86 Guardians - 81 Royals - 70 White Sox -
