yesterday
 Yesterday $9.98 I really can't say enough about this film. It's presented as a rather light topical piece about a family in Africa who learns they have contracted the AIDs virus. It avoids seeping political statements (namely accusations) and still engages in a fairly interesting discussion about the stigma associated with the disease. Yesterday is beautifully shot and well worth the 10 dollars.  Yesterday: The Beatles Once Upon A Time $27.50 I like this book but it has as many photos of Astrid as it does her subjects (I am exaggerating). Her preference for George is well known so there are many wonderful photos of him, just in case you are looking for a book with great George photos. Anyway, I am cynical I know but it seemed to me that Astrid really wanted to ride on the Beatles bandwagon. I would not have expected that being around the others, knowing that her love Stu was gone, would have pleased her so much. I noticed also that she abandoned the Beatles haircut and was vitually indistinguishable from Pattie and Cynthia. She looked good. All in all a nice photo essay of the early Beatles. |
