Our local Thousand Oaks Theater.... The Oaks!

One of the reasons Carol and I bought our home in Berkeley's Thousand Oaks Neighborhood is that we loved being able to walk to Solano Avenue... and patronizing neighborhood businesses.

It's always a treat to drive down Solano at night and seeing the street lit up by the Oaks Theater Marquee.



"Notes On A Scandal" starring Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett, and Bill Nighy was playing... and it's a movie we wanted to see.

So.. when Carol emailed me during Friday's meeting with my California All Stars mastermind group... what were our plans for tonight... I emailed back "a movie with you!"

We both enjoyed Notes On A Scandal.. and at the end, I realized that it reminded me of another favorite movies "Year of Living Dangerously"... in part because Judi Dench's voice sounded a bit like Linda Hunt's... and each of the characters tried to orchestrate behavior in their own ways.

Seen both? Let me know what you think. Here's what's playing right now at The Oaks.

And.. if you're interested in Berkeley Real Estate, and would like to buy one of our wonderful Thousand Oaks homes, here's where you can search the Berkeley MLS to find out what's for sale right now in the neighborhood!
