My Mom’s New Boyfriend starring Antonio Banderas and Meg Ryan
Antonio Banderas and Meg Ryan mix it up in the DVD release My Mom’s New Boyfriend. Colin Hanks returns as a son, Henry, who went away for three years for FBI training and returns to find his mom (Ryan) having lost a ton of weight, gained a youthful exuberance and acquired lots of money. With his new fiancee Emiy (Selma Blair), Henry settles in thinking he would find a fairly peaceful family existence in his new home arrangement. Soon, however, he finds himself torn between his career and his mom when her new boyfriend Tommy (Banderas) turns out to be a world class art thief.

Have you heard of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor who wrote the current bestseller “My Stroke of Insight”? Taylor was a Harvard trained brain scientist who suffered a massive stroke. I don’t think we’ll ever hear a story like this – Taylor understands how the brain functions and she was able to observe her mind deteriorating. She writes about the euphoric nirvana and a sense of complete peace and well-being she discovered in her stroke and she talks about this in her incredible (don’t miss it) talk on TED.com. In the book, Taylor explains how to ’step to the right of their left brain’ to uncover a deep internal peace. Meg Ryan was in the audience when Dr. Taylor gave her speech at TED… hey, maybe she’ll do the movie and we’ll all be able to “have what she’s having” to reprise that line from When Harry Met Sally : ) Sign me up!
