Last night, with some friends, I went to a screening of a new movie, Lovely and Amazing. It stars Brenda Blethyn, Catherine Keener and Dermot Mulroney. I enjoyed this rather dysfunctional family. It's not often you see a family that is comprised of a mother, two insecure twenty- to thirty-something daughters and an adopted African-American 8-year-old girl.

After the movie, we went to a party held at Remedy on East 20th Street. When we left, we found out that this restaurant and lounge is not yet open to the public. I'm sure it will be another "hot spot" for the trendy. If you go, watch out for the stinky bus boy. I mean that in the most literal sense.
