Birds of Passage

Lasagna. Birds of Passage, 2018, directed by Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra, starring Carmiña Martínez, José Acosta, Natalia Reyes, Jhon Narváez, Greider Meza. Jose Vicente Cotes and Juan Bautista. Also, a short subject: Punch Drunks, 1934, directed by Lou Breslow, starring The Three Stooges. In 2002 Punch Drunks became the first and only Stooge film to be selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". And it's a lot of fun to watch.

The Last Rites of Joe May

Cavatappi pasta with Alfredo sauce, braised beef and mushrooms. Who comes up with these pasta specials? The Last Rites of Joe May, 2011, written and directed by Joe Maggio, starring Dennis Farina, Jamie Anne Allman, Ian Barford, Meredith Droeger, Chelcie Ross and Gary Cole. I wanted to watch a Dennis Farina movie. This came up in my search. I had never heard of it. Not completely successful, but it was great to watch Dennis Farina performing his role on location in Chicago, his hometown.
