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

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in.  Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever.  Yes, ever!  I don't need Triple H's metrics and benchmarks to influence me. No, no, no! In terms of hype, storylines, payoffs, match quality, and just overall fun - this entire weekend was amazing.  I'm slightly skewed in my preference as well. This was my son's first Wrestlemania as a pro wrestling fan. Having him at my side cheering on his favorites, getting caught up in the drama, and even crying at the end of the night because his Tribal Chief lost to "that no good Cody" added to the overall appreciation of the event.  So yeah, I have some

NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 Review: 'For super casual NXT fans like me - no complaints here'

It's become officially a tradition that NXT Stand and Deliver makes Wrestlemania weekend feel like the ultimate wrestling weekend - as if it isn't already. There is just something about a major show being held midday on a Saturday, among the hype for the already dual night of Wrestlemania - that just emanates and screams - wrestling fans, don't go anywhere all weekend.   Nonetheless, NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 for this super causal NXT viewer was entertaining. I was well aware (and followed) the story of Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes (more on that in a bit) more so than the other happenings, but that didn't matter. The show offered many reasons to check out Shawn Michaels' project on Tuesday nights.  With that said, here are some quick thoughts on NXT Stand and Deliver 2024:  - Baron Corbin is amazing on the NXT brand. For many reasons, he just never clicked for me on the major brands - and that very likely might not even be his fault. I didn't think Axiom an
