So where is "Melancholia"? Agree on "American Horror Story" which has it's season finale next week. Wonder if "Enlightened" will get renewed: http://www.tvline.com/2011/12/enlightened-hbo-season-1-finale-recap-renew-cancel/ Saw Laura Dern in a Russell Crowe film "Tenderness" on Netflix last night. So-so film. Haven't seen any of the films nominated though "Midnight in Paris" is at the top of my queue for next week. See if it makes it here. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
