Midnight in Paris/Mildred Pierce

Just a quick word--watched Midnight in Paris. The premise of the movie was good, but why do they stick Owen Wilson in places where he simply doesn't belong? He's sort of one dimensional actor, if that much. Still, I liked the movie. The period color was good. Speaking of color, we started watching the HBO miniseries "Mildred Pierce". The setting is California in 1930 or so, and Mildred (Kate Winslet) is struggling to recover from a broken marriage. The first two episodes were sort of dark, but the story remains interesting. I think Kate Winslet won a Golden Globe for her performance in this one. (I now see that the series won 5 Golden Globes.) Highly recommend this one.
