Cobble Hill is a nice neighborhood in Brooklyn that also has a cinema that my wife frequents. Go to the first movie of the day and pay only $5! Today we did not go to the first movie and so we paid double that amount because we wanted to follow the movie with a nice dinner in one of the local restaurants. For the movie we chose “Closer.” The reviews are mixed. Either you hate it or you like it. We liked it.
Closer is about 4 people of which two meet by chance and then in turn they cause two others to meet. And then they all meet and their lives intermingle, clash, and relationships get ripped apart. The two men are British and the two women American. There are a few excellent scenes with great dialogue. Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen come together in an intriguing setting in London. I liked the theme song “The Blower’s Daughter” by Damien Rice. I downloaded it for 99 cents from iTunes. Nice and dreamy music. A nice dinner afterwards made for a wonderful evening with my Ife in Brooklyn. “And so it is. Just like you said it would be. Life goes easy on me” (From the theme song.)
