Fish Art At Elliott’s

Snoop Maddie Mad really liked the carved fish art in Elliott’s at The Blackburn.  So much so that as soon as her feet hit the floor she would take off to the little side room where they were displayed.

THE TRAP

SHOWN AT 7:15PM -�FREE SHOW!

A modern film noir reflecting the true face of Serbian “society in transition,” It’s a story that could happen to you. An ordinary man is forced to choose between life and death of his own child. “The Trap” is a film about post-Milosevic’s Serbia, in which there is no more war, only a moral and existential desert. This is Serbia in transition, in which human life is worth little, and normal life remains almost unreachable.�”Beautifully executed…deeply moving…a thoroughly involving cinematic experience” -Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter

This is a free show, and like at all of our free shows, patrons can purchase any quantity of discount passes for future ticketed shows for $6.00 (which is the price you would normally have to purchase 25 passes to get).

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21

MOMMA’S MAN

SHOWN AT 5:00PM (SHOWING NOVEMBER 21-23)

From the producers of “Half Nelson” and “Maria Full Of Grace,” “Momma�s Man” chronicles the increasingly anxious dilemma of Mikey, a young husband and father who stops off at his parents’ loft during a business trip to New York and finds himself emotionally unable to leave. Unsure of his own motivations, he makes up excuses about why he�s staying — his flight is delayed; his flight is canceled — but while his doting mother (the director�s real mother) is more than happy to enable his procrastination, his father (the director�s real father) grows suspicious of his son’s changes of plans.�”A touchingly true film, part weepie, part comedy, about the agonies of navigating that slippery slope called adulthood.” -Manohla Dargis, The New York Times;�”A beautiful, wise, shaggy, poker-faced comedy of discombobulation.” -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

THE POOL

SHOWN AT 7:15PM (SHOWING NOVEMBER 21-23)

Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, “The Pool” is the story of Venkatesh, a “room boy” working at a hotel in Panjim, Goa, who sees from his perch in a mango tree a luxuriant garden and shimmering pool hidden behind a wall. In making whatever efforts he can to better himself, Venkatesh offers his services to the wealthy owner of the home. Not content to simply dream about a different life, Venkatesh is inquisitive about the home’s inhabitants — indeed about the world around him — and his curiosity changes the shape of his future.�”Gorgeous…glowing luminescence.” -Stephen Holden, The New York Times;�”A truly independent gem of a feature. Informed by incisive observations about the class divide but more interested in the mysteries of the human heart, this gentle variation on neorealism is a delight on every level.” -Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter


Winning Good Morning Gloucester Logo Beth Swan

There were many submissions for the GMG Logo Contest and truthfully I loved every single one.

Each one had a different style that brought individual elements that I really liked and the separation between the winning design from Beth Swan at Black Swan Design and the rest was minimal but she hit everything on all points for me with the sunrise symbolizing Morning, the homie, and the simplicity of the design.

Thanks to Alicia Pensarosa, Cathy Tarr, Kat Valentine, Hedgie, and Lia Parisi for playing along.

Hand Spun Yarns At Present On Pleasant

Is there some kind of knitting revolution going on?   Between these hand spun yarns at Present on Pleasant Street, Coveted Yarns on East Main Street, and Kat Valentine’s knitting blog I feel like there is some devious secret knitters plot brewing.   Be aware people, they’re all around us these knitters!
