Sunshine CleaningStarring Amy Adams, Emily Blunt
Quirky and off-beat, Sunshine Cleaning never really gets anywhere, but it’s an interesting journey.
Adams, playing the unwed mother of a handful of a son, goes into business as a crime-scene cleanup service. She employs the help of her sister, who is an unmotivated loser who’s still living at home with their dad (Alan Arkin).
As the movie progresses, you begin to get a look into how the characters have arrived at this point in their lives.
I liked it – it was a downer, but really spoke to truth, about how things are and how people get where they are.
Arkin was the only disappointment – he plays (minus the heroin) the same character he played in Little Miss Sunshine.
After all this fuss I’ve made over the past couple of months over the move from Blogger to WordPress, I think it’s time for me to shut up.
I still don’t have my blog looking anything like what I want, but it took me years on Blogger to get where I was when I uncoupled from same.
And – thanks to my mad PHP & AJAX skilz! – most of my blog functionality is back.
To me, this blog is now – for lack of a better term – stable. (My host is not as DB friendly as it should be, so the now-dynamic blog pages are, unfortunately, not as fast as the formerly-static pages. Crap…)
So – time to write! That’s what a blog is about!
Caveat – I blog for a number of reasons, writing being one of them (I enjoy the written word).
But I also enjoy the challenges building out a blog like this (or my old one) offered. That’s part of the fun. Testing out stuff here that I later incorporate at work, for example. Call me a beta tester.
So again, I’ll shut up about the platform conversion.
Add words.
Add functionality.
Try to make it pretty…
