random + FREE movie

I went on a lovely hike/ mountain "climb" on Sunday in Altadena. The bunch of bananas who joined me were Heidi Bluegirl, Alan de Forest and the talented & ever so graceful, Miss Pooch-A-Rilla.




We certainly took the path less travelled, traversing the more steep trails. This was certainly a great time and a good way to spend 3-4 hours exercising, sharing laughs, collecting thoughts, snapping photos or plotting a way to travel to Neptune on a sailboat powered by personally charged methane.



Miss Pooch was a trooper and was certainly a very happy doggie/ muppet/ Fraggle once we returned to the base of the mountain on level ground.

The part two of today's post is focused on the film CHOP SHOP, which I had wanted to catch several months ago, when it was at the Sunset 5. The story follows a young orphan boy of 12 years, who supports himself and his elder, 16 year old sister by work at an auto-body/ mechanic shop. Motivated to forge a better life, he begins saving his earnings for a mobile food truck to enabled their own business and security.


The film seems to be a very realistic piece with a similar look to The City Of God, which remains one of the most realistic films I have ever seen as it was a film without professional actors but one amazing director who called upon the cast's memory of an actual event which actually had affected them and upon which the film was based.

You can see this film FOR FREE which is what I will be doing on Wednesday evening, the 17th of December at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills. This screening is sponsored by Scion
