Some Love For Grandma

.
.
Heads-up about a terrific movie that's out in them so-called "virtual theaters" today -- I saw Sasie Sealy's Lucky Grandma last year at Tribeca and reviewed it here and it (the movie, not necessarily my review) is worth your time. Mainly because of the lead performance from Tsai Chin as, you guessed it, that Lucky Grandma herself -- she's an absolute blast in the story of an ornery Chinatown gambler who gets embroiled in some old-fashioned (as in 1980s, this movie feels very 1980s) shenanigans above her pay-grade. There's a lot of over-the-top antics with gangsters and the like, but Chin really anchors the whole thing with her totally convincing work. It's a nice little movie. You can find where to watch the movie on its website.

Tsai Chin is a cult actress for me and I’m firmly convinced In 1993 she was robbed of an Oscar nom for her strong work in the acclaimed The Joy Luck Club by Wayne Wang
