    "Room" (the movie)

    We saw this tonight. The lead actress, 26 year-old Brie Larson, has been nominated for the Best Actress Oscar. Go see it, and reserve judgment for the first 30 minutes. It's a very fine film.

There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    I haven't read the book but everyone seems to agree that the movie is faithful to it. (The book's author wrote the screenplay.) Brie Larson is amazing. So is the little boy who plays Jack.
