About Town: Local Favorites

Top movies and books in Bronxville.

Here are the top five Netflix rentals for Bronxville at the moment:

  1. Somewhere – The 2010 indie drama directed by Sophia Coppola, who correctly made the decision to move behind the camera after her acting turn in Godfather III.
  2. Inside Job  – The global financial meltdown of 2008 continues to enthrall locals, perhaps because many were so close to it – inside, you might say.
  3. Farewell  -   A French spy thriller.
  4. The Social Network – About some kid from Dobbs Ferry who started a little website called Facebook.
  5. The Hangover  – The highly rated risqué comedy.

Womrath lists its current best-sellers on its website, and the top five this week are:

  1. Visit from the Goon Squad, by Jennifer Egan, continues its dominance in May.
  2. The Help, by Katherine Stockett, the Civil Rights era novel that’s a big hit with book clubs.
  3. Life, by the one-and-only Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.
  4. The Imperfectionists, by Tom Rachman – A debut novel that’s winning over critics.
  5. Heaven is For Real, by Todd Burpo – A (supposedly) true story about a little boy’s near-death experience.  We’re a little worried than this one might wind up breaking into a million little pieces at some point.
