Oh Baby.

Oh Sherrybaby that is.


So last night I went to a special screening of the golden globe nominated indie flick and let's just say it was quite interesting. For those of you that don't know what the heck this movie is, it's about a mom (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who is released from prison after three years on parole and wants to mom again to her daughter that her brother and his wife have been caring after. So with that said, it's definitely an emotionally shocking film. I don't even know if that makes sense. But I really liked it. It showed the ups and downs of a recovering addict with a horrible background and ultimately gave some hope at the end.

Okay so enough of the review. The best part of this screening was that Maggie was there at the end for a little Q&A with the audience. It was quite cool. She seems like a very down to earth woman, for instance she used the F word, talked about the difficulties she had with the director, her growing maturity as a mother and so on. I have a new appreciation for her now I would say. Taking time out to come to a somewhat podunk movie theater for a special screening to talk to the audience and what have you.

So yes I got my celeb kick. I got it even more when I passed her fiance, another actor, Peter Saarsgard, on the stairwell. He needs to shave. Haha. Anyhoo just wanted to share that, that actors are people too (even if I sometimes get butterflies, haha). And that Maggie did a great job in this movie and deserves the golden globe nod. Woo eee Hollywood.
