NEW TO ME:
Silkwood (1983) Meryl Streep, Cher, Kurt Russell, Craig T. Nelson. Based on a true story of Karen Silkwood and the plutonium plant where she worked and was contaminated and her union work. She was killed in a car accident - or was it? 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093409/combined
Just Like Heaven (2005) Reese Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo. A charming fable for the season. She is a driven doctor. He is a heartbroken landscape architect who moves into her apartment after she has been hit in a horrible accident. Her spirit appears to him and how they fall in love and connect is a lovely story for this time of year. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425123/combined
White Collar (2013/TV series) Matt Bomer, Tom DeKay, Tiffany Thiessen, Willie Garson, Sharif Atkins, Bridget Regan. All six episodes from this year (season 5) downloaded from ONDemand to rewatch. Bomer is Neal, the art thief, counterfeiter and charming con man. He is recruited by Peter, FBI agent in the "white collar" division, to help catch the bad guys. This season has Regan as Rebecca, a lovely redhead, and smart rare books scholar, who becomes involved in a case. Neal and Rebecca are attracted to each other and start a little romance. My favorite characters on TV. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1358522/combined
