Back pain in Montreal..

Above is a clip from TNT's fascinating series 'The Alienist' - Breathtaking scenes transport viewers back in time to turn of the century NYC.  Murdahs are solved by a scientist, criminal sketch artist and the first woman to work in the New York Police Dept.  The plot includes President Theodore Roosevelt(a Republican politician) in his early career as the NY Commissioner of Police.  Recommend the series for anyone who enjoys a well-done period piece plus an edge of seat detective drama.  It does get gory which usually finds me tuning out after the first episode.  Not this time!  The writing, acting, sets and cinematography are all so well done it's even worth suffering through the gruesome murdah;) scenes.

This exciting film opened on Friday.  It's was a RL event - the main characters are portrayed by the actual men who thwarted the insane terrorist on The 15:17 to Paris.  When the men expressed their hesitation to play themselves to director Eastwood, Clint told them "you do exactly what you did that day and I'll fill in the rest."

Proving yet again that life requires different strokes for different folks--our fav actor gets it.  Female humans can enjoy Shakespeare and Lauren Blakely without feeling as though they are narrow-minded, inexperienced maidens or lust-filled tramps.  There is more than enough time in life to enjoy all forms of "literature" and especially relish when a velvet throated male is willing to provide a wide variety of choices:

@LaurenBlakely3 Hey Lauren. On my 2 listen. Just a question for you...how did you get @RCArmitage to play Griffin? It’s not the usual type of book I ever thought he’d do. With the exception of the G Heyer’s he’s read, most of his books are quite serious

http://deadline.com/2017/02/richard-armitage-julie-delpy-my-zoe-berlin-efm-daniel-bruhl-hobbit-philomena-gabrielle-tana-1201903962/ He’ll join Daniel Brühl, Lior Ashkenazy and child actor Sophia Ally in the pic, which is written and directed by Delpy and produced by Philomena and The Invisible Womanproducer Gabrielle Tana.

Armitage, who’s renowned for playing Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson’s Hobbittrilogy, will play the role of James, the ex-husband of Delpy’s character Isabelle. Their toxic marriage may be over but they are still in contact with each other as they co-parent their daughter Zoe. But when tragedy strikes this fractured family, Isabelle takes matters into her own hands.

My Zoe marks Delpy’s sixth feature as a director. The French multi-hyphenate has two Oscar nominations under her belt for co-writing Before Sunset and Before Midnight with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke.

Armitage plays the lead role in the Epix thriller series Berlin Station. He will also star alongside Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett in Warner Bros/Village Roadshow’s female-led caper Ocean’s 8. Further credits include Alice Through the Looking Glass,Brain on Fire and upcoming projects Sleepwalker and Pilgrimage.
