THE WRAP

NOOGAcurrent: What we're watching

 

Brianna here, and I've been watching "Dead to Me" with Linda Cardellini + Christina Applegate. I also recently re-watched "Ratatouille," which just holds up extremely well.

 

It’s Trista, and I saw “Boogie Nights” at the Tivoli last weekend as part of the Bobby Stone Film Series. Naturally, I’m now on a Paul Thomas Anderson kick and watched “The Master” a few nights ago. I think “There Will Be Blood” is next up on the docket.
