I watched Freaky Friday with Jodie Foster yesterday on TCM while I rearranged my bedroom furniture with the hopes it would improve my life (will advise). 1970's fashions, cars, appliances, and recreation including field hockey--replete with lesbianish opposing team coaches--and waterskiing? What's not to love?

The Jamie Lee Curtis / Lindsay Lohan re-make wasn't too bad either...though Jodie Foster could probably beat up Lindsay Lohan in a catfight
I particularly loved Sparky Marcus's performance---he plays her little brother, Ben.
Phenomenal. Adorable.
Dr Starling move over - I found Jodie Foster's next movie Oscar-winning role! Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor who wrote ""My Stroke of Insight"" and delivered a talk about it on TED.com that will knock your socks off! The video's been seen 5 million times and I understand why.
Taylor was a Harvard trained brain scientist who suffered a massive stroke. I don't think we'll ever hear a story like this - Taylor understands how the brain functions and she was able to observe her mind deteriorating. She writes about the euphoric nirvana and a sense of complete peace and well-being she discovered in her stroke! She talks about this in her incredible (don't miss it) talk on TED.com. The book is great too - highly recommended. You'll learn how to 'step to the right of their left brain' to uncover a deep internal peace. Sign me up!
