Yesterday, on New Year's Day, I caught a screening of PERSEPOLIS and later dined at OSTERIA MOZZA. I'd recommend both!Persepolis is an wonderfully done animated feature about a young girl growing up during the Iranian Revoltion, and I think it should win the Academy Award for Best Animated feature or possibly for Best Foreign Film (well, hopefully it will win a Golden Globe first).
Osteria Mozza is a fine dining (read: sorta pricey) establishment, and it's right next to Pizzeria Mozza (on Highland and Melrose). But it's easier to get reservations at the osteria, and the pastas and the service are first-rate!
Speaking of Italian food, if you're near the Grove, check out TERRONI. It's a newer restaurant that opened up where the Authentic Cafe used to be. They serve "traditional, Southern Italian food," and they have a strict no substitutions rule. But, the food is really delicious, and the vibe is much cooler and more casual (read: not as pricey) as Osteria Mozza.
P.S. In other news,
1) Having struck separate deals with the WGA, the late night talk-shows are finally back on the air tonight. The only one I care about, however, is my beloved Conan O'Brien!
2) Apparently, Robby Ginepri had to retire from his last match because he had/has the flu. Here's hoping he feels better soon, and kicks some ass at the Australian Open.

Jadore Conan Terroni!
SPEAKING OF ITALIAN STUFF, PLEASE PROMOTE PAT BENATAR'S NEW CD, "GO".
PAT'S MOUTH FORMS THE O IN GO, WHICH MAKES THE WHOLE EFFORT WORTH PERUSING.
NEVER MIND. IT WAS ONLY NEW TO ME. I DID BUY IT THROUGH YOUR SITE THOUGH.
As always, thanks for supporting the site, Angel.
