***Decide what you want to do and then DO IT, come what may*** In 1928, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (Mary Steenburgen) in her early 30s moves to a blindly bought orange grove near the hamlet of Cross Creek, in northern Florida, which is located on a strip of land between two large lakes (Orange Lake and Lochloosa Lake). There she hopes to find the peace and privacy to launch her writing career. Peter Coyote plays a hotel owner from a nearby town that becomes fascinated by Marjorie while Alfre Woodard plays her maid. Rip Torn is on hand as an eccentric backwoodsman with Dana Hill appearing as his daughter who befriends a fawn. “Cross Creek” (1983) is a historical drama about the famous author of “The Yearling”; it’s also part wilderness drama. Shot on location in gorgeous Alachua & Marion Counties, the film’s worth watching just for the remote Floridian lushness. The theme is to die for as Marjorie DECIDES what she wants to do and then boldly (or stubbornly) DOES IT, come what may. Her first two short stories were published in 1931 and “The Yearling” in 1938, which won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction and was made into a movie in 1946. The boggy locations are similar to those in “Frogs” (1972) and “Swamp Thing” (1982) while the topic and themes are reminiscent of “The Whole Wide World” (1996) and “Sounder” (1972). If you favor the latter two movies and appreciate the locations of the former two, you’ll enjoy “Cross Creek.” The movie runs 2 hours, 7 minutes. GRADE: B/B+

With four members of his own private army - the Tatenokai - Mishima had taken the commandant hostage and called upon the assembled military outside the Ministry to overthrow their society and restore the powers of the Emperor. When the soldiers mocked and jeered Mishima, he cut short his speech and withdrew to the commandant's office where he committed seppuku - the samurai warrior's death - tearing open his belly with a ceremonial knife before being beheaded by one of his colleagues. What was Mishima truly trying to express through his actions? And what did he witness during his final moments?
