“Giant” is a Jelly Donut
You have to chew through a lot of doughy footage in this movie before you get to the heart of it. And that heart is Jimmy Dean. Mumbling and awkward, Dean creates a character that goes deeper than the oil drill he labours over, making "Giant" digestible and ultimately delicious.

Gooseberry Fields
Synopsis: An opening montage reveals that in the late 60s, a young man named Rio inherited an apartment complex. He then offered all his friends a years’ free rent, each in their own flat, with the provision that they create a co-operative community based on love and peace. Taking a page out of the Beatles songbook, Rio put a few berries forward for the name of his apartment buildings: blue and rasp split the vote, leaving goose for the win.

Santa Catalina
In 1919, chewing gum giant William Wrigley, Jr. bought Catalina Island and had a mansion built atop one of its highest hills, providing a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. This was the Californian island I travelled to for the Catalina Film Festival. The Wrigley Mansion still stands with its magnificent view but is now a bed and breakfast.

The Silver Band
Hemangiosarcoma. I couldn't even figure out what the vet was saying as she told me my dog's diagnosis. I only knew it wasn't good. It's cancer of the spleen and it affects the blood vessels. And nothing can be done about it. They can take the spleen out but within 2 or 3 months the cancer will be back.
