Wasn't there a movie set in Tuscany already, starring Diane Lane? Like the Tuscan Sun?

That could be. I think I saw a copy at the library. I should check and let you know what it is about. Tuscany looks very nice.
Of course, my favorite Diane Lane movie would be "Secretariat". I think she also played Katherine Graham in a Watergate movie recently.
I have a question? Do you know what "Beef" is about I saw your post where it sounded like you may have seen Season 1. We never heard of it before and started seeing it up on our Netflix menu for Season 2. I'm still like to watch "Man on the Inside". That first scene in Season 2 when Charles loses the feeling in his leg cracks me up. That's me when I have to drive for hours.
We finished Man on the Inside shortly after it came out. Yes, despite being full of old-person jokes and dad jokes, it's a funny show. I think the fact that he's an engineer and still tech savvy is interesting to me.
When Beef came out, I thought it was a one-and-done series. It was a very entertaining show about two people who have a "beef" with each other. It starts with a road rage situation, and turns into a full-on quest for vengeance. A big feature of the first season was that it had a mostly Asian-American cast, and was set in a wealthy Asian section of L.A. It got into the rivalries between Japanese, Korean, and Chinese ethnicities, which I'm a little bit familiar with from experiences at my workplace and college. Also, it starred Ali Wong, who was already well-known as a comedian and actress.
The new season of Beef seems to have dropped the Asian angle. So it looks to be more like The White Lotus, where the cast and people are mostly different from one season to the next.
We watched Dust Bunny. It has Mads Mikkelsen and Sigourney Weaver.
It's kind of a crazy fantasy, horror, action thing.
It was filmed in Hungary, so it has this eastern European dark vibe going on.
I liked it.

I liked it a lot too. Very unique but also had a Wes Anderson way about it with the use of colors.
It’s on HBO Max.
Yes! We said that very same thing.
It was creatively filmed.

I've still been going to the Monday Senior Center Old Time Musical Movies but we will be taking a break in May with the instructor going on leave.
I did go to a second movie today at night at the cinema called "The Gardener". It look interesting but only available Monday and Tuesday night at 7:30 so I went tonight. It started like the Devil Wears Prada. An executive woman in charge of a Make Up company but it shifts when she is hospitalized and takes resort in a small cottage in the country where she finds herself in nature and changes her life away from the hustle and bustle of the business world. Beautiful waterfall scenes, we thought it might be Gooseberry Falls in Minnesota but we looked it up when we got home and it turned out to be Highland Falls in North Carolina.
I would call this one the Surprise of the Year as I never heard of the movie until this morning.
I might go see "Michael" on Tuesday. When I saw the previews, I said the actor playing Michael doesn't even look like Michael but the ticket girl was saying that the actor was his actual nephew

Los Angeles Times headline: "Michael has thriller opening weekend"
