from Wikipedia<\/a>, since I’m pretty sure this movie never got a theatrical release or advertising of any kind. <\/p>\nFunny anecdote: When I was prepping some recent posts here in the blog that involved the Dustin Hoffman movie ‘Quartet’, my Google image searches kept pulling up pictures of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken, neither of whom actually appear in that movie. It turns out that they’re in something called ‘A Late Quartet<\/strong>‘, of which I’d never heard and otherwise know nothing about.

No, I’d never heard of it either.<\/p>\n—<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, I’ll probably rent ‘Side by Side’. Will you spend any money on Blu-rays this week?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In these frigid winter months, the best way to bide your time waiting for spring may be to wrap yourself up in a warm blanket in front of the TV and watch a good movie.
