Fracture and The Hoax
Saw two late movies tonight.
"Fracture" starring Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling .
Anthony Hopkins is so perfect at being scary !
And I was so looking forward to seeing Ryan Gosling again after his Oscar Nomination.
It was a great suspenseful movie.
Then...
"The Hoax" starring Richard Gere .
With Alfred Molina , who is one of favorite actors. Hope Davis, Marcia Gay Harden and Stanley Tucci are also in it.
So it is an outstanding cast.
This is based on a true story. So I found it a very interesting piece of modern history.
Alex Theatre
The Alex Theatre in Glendale has a wonderful tour.
We got a complete history lesson about the theatre.
And we went everywhere, all the way down to the basement, and up to the projection booth.
We got a great tour backstage.
I have to say I loved being on that huge stage !!!
I took a bunch of pictures.
I will eventually put them up on my Flickr page .
It takes me forever, because I take so many photos - but eventually they will be up there, I promise !
UPDATE: Here ya go: The Alex Theatre Tour Fickr Set - great pictures of the theatre !

New Eye Glasses
Well, I am still getting older. And it is time to get new reading glasses - again!
The little muscles aged again, and the computer screen is getting slightly blurry.
This time I decided on a dark blue frame. I can hardly wait- I really like the frame.
My first set of frames I liked, because they were a weird octagon-like shape, and a brownish tortoise shell look.
The second set of glasses I hated. They were just a plain gold frame. I think I had to pay the second time. My insurance didn't cover it, so I got the cheapest frames.
Now, my insurance is covering it this time. And I am getting lovely dark blue frames.
For me, just the idea that they are blue - even though a dark blue - somehow feels really artistic and colorful....
House of Blues
Dinner tonight was with friends at House of Blues Restaurant in West Hollywood.
One friend has someone visiting Los Angeles from Paris, France.
So we all went and had dinner in West Hollywood.
I had a delicious steak, with sauteed mushrooms.
Turned out I was the only one of the four of us who liked mushrooms.
And three of us ordered steak....

New Acting Pictures
I spent the day in Westwood, having new acting pictures taken.
We walked around the Westwood area, and I ended up with 300 pictures to chose from.
I brought about nine different outfits. We used four of them.
After the picture taking was over with - I went to the Century City Mall .
I haven't been down that way since they re-paved Santa Monica Blvd.
And a humorous article in the Los Angeles Times inspired me to go eat in the Century City Food Court.
The article talked about how many Talent Agents have moved to the Century City area. Both Creative Artists and International Creative Management are in the area now.
And they all hate having to eat in the food court. But thats one of the few choices that they have.
You can read the article here:
Power plays - for a food court table
My favorite line from the article:""With all the suits and sunglasses, it feels like "The Matrix: The Food Court".
So I stopped off. I got Teriyaki Chicken, and an order of sushi, and it came with a soup.
The place was so crowded, there was no room to sit outside.
I had asked for the food "To Go", because I figured it would be to much food to eat in one meal.
Half of it was going home.
It was a good lunch, at a reasonable price.
And a very fun place to People Watch.

Film Noir - He Walked By Night
The Film Noir Series is over at the Egyptian Theatre .
I saw "He Walked By Night" from 1948.
There were some great shots from old Los Angeles in the movie.
The movie starred Richard Basehart , and Jack Webb.
If you are a fan of the TV series "Dragnet" which starred Jack Webb, check this movie out.
It is the movie that was the inspiration for Dragnet.
