Is it:
A. A thriller?
B. A horror movie?
C. A Comedy?
D. An allegory?
E. All of the above?
You know where I am going with this.
The answer is E. I wouldn't have given you that option if I wasn't going to use it. It is a movie that you have to see. It takes place in 1959 and captures that era perfectly. I know. I was there. DJ and I were married that year. I wasn't in the suburbs. But some of my best friends were suburbans. Men wore suits with short sleeve dress shirts. Women wore shirtdresses. Cars had fins. Men wore their hair short and women had permanents. I am not sure how all that authenticity made its way into this movie. It was directed by George Clooney and he is not old enough to have experienced it. It stars Matt Damon as some kind of businessman, what exactly he did was not clear, except for... (no, that would be a spoiler). There are terrific actors in this movie. My vote goes to Oscar Isaac? Who? He plays a slimy insurance adjuster and steals every scene that he is in. Go see it. You won't be disappointed.

Wait...on second thought, maybe Berkeley is a suburb of Oakland? Maybe Oakland is a suburb of San Francisco?
