Incredibly well done, especially the acting and the character development.  Beautiful, if a bit too long in parts.  I have not enjoyed a movie in the theater in this way for years.  We went in the afternoon, even though the weather was glorious, to make it an even more decadent event.<\/p>\n<p>The dinner out was also a dream:  we went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.restreview.com\/rest_details.php?rest=151&amp;restaurant=The+Hungry+I+Parked+URL\">The Hungry i<\/a>, an old romantic quirky place in Beacon Hill.  Feta and fig salad, French onion soup with Roquefort dumplings, moist and dense bread with soft butter, and I had ratatouille with polenta and ricotta.  Ned had rabbit pie!  We shared a piece of sweet walnut pie and a bottle of dry Riesling.  Then, the piece de resistance:  a pounder bag of M &#038; M&#8217;s from CVS as we rode home on the T.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My birthday was great, start to finish.
