Burnt


Lights, camera, cook.

On Tuesday, Susan and Greg lucked into attending their first New York, red carpet film premiere with limos, big name stars and paparazzi galore.  The film was Burnt with Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Daniel Bruhl, Uma Thurman, Emma Thompson and other talented actors.  If you love to taste great cuisine, this film is for you.  If you like a good story well told, this film is also for you.  (By the way, Cooper's character in the film makes Gordon Ramsay look like Mother Theresa.) 

Uncle Harvey introduced the film and then director John Wells spoke and joked that the audience should have already made dinner reservations because restaurants will fill up after this film is screened.

Susan tried to casually bump into Bradley Cooper.  No luck.  He was mobbed constantly.  Greg tried to bump into Uma Thurman but she too was mobbed.  Of course, she towered over the mob and everyone could enjoy seeing her in person.

The film will be released tomorrow with wide release to follow on October 30.

Attending the premiere was a treat.  We got to see one of Greg's favorite actors, Paul Sorvino, who was in the audience.  Now 76 years old, he looks great and is going strong, appearing in 10 films over the next year.

P.S.  Susan enjoyed being mistaken by the paparazzi for Marlo Thomas, ha ha.  The resemblance is amazing.
