Nebraska Friends of Midwives 2 years ago

We’ve actually been pretty active on this lately. There’s an open house this weekend for a birth center in Norfolk that can’t open because the CNM can’t find a doctor to sign off on it. It’s silly that she should have to, of course, which is what we’d like to see changed.

I’ve also been working on updating the Nebraska Friends of Midwives website, and will try to keep up on that more.

12. Notes on a Scandal (2006)

Though I hadn’t heard much about this movie beforehand, I pretty much knew where it was going to go within the first ten minutes. And I have to say, that made very little difference. It certainly didn’t keep me from being surprised at every turn, for example. This was partly due to the quality of the screenplay, obviously, but also very much due to the quality of the acting. This movie really had to be carried by its two leads, and they did an incredible job. (Bill Nighy also turns in a really intriguing supporting performance, I must note.) Really a wonderful movie; much creepier than most of the films that come to mind as easy comparisons.

****1/2

11. Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

If I never again are Laurence Fishburne play this character, it’ll be plenty soon. Beyond that (including that, actually), this movie was utterly forgettable. I wish I had forgotten it already, as a matter of fact. It’s a rather pallid attempt to fictionalize the surprise hit Spellbound, a movie which needed no fiction to add to its drama and interest. Not only did this movie add nothing to that one (other than a rather unappetizing combination of cheese and saccharine), it took quite a bit away.

* I’ll give it one star because at least my 4-year-old liked parts of it. Which makes me question his taste, I must say.
