Chicago – Academy Award winner (in 1962!) Rita Moreno is in the midst of a big media comeback. The 86 year-old actress, who famously portrayed Anita in that Oscar-winning role in “West Side Story,” is in her second season of the “One Day at a Time” reboot on Netflix, and is featured in the indie film “Remember Me,” available now for download and Video On Demand.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
Moreno is a centerpiece in the film, as a grandmother to two man-children who keep making bad decisions.

I’d assume the majority of people treat/treated their grandparents as somewhat of an escape. They were family who you loved and cared for that had a home you could stay at whenever you wanted. So you showed face once in a while to do your due diligence in case that guest room was needed in the near future. Maybe you took them to a show, kept them company, or simply shared a meal. It’s a nice gesture—one that scores karma points on a nonexistent scale your conscience cares about anyway. Suffer through the small talk. Endure the awkward silences when pleasantries are exhausted. Check your watch, “remember” a necessary task, and stage your exit until next month’s session. In Remember Me, Vincent Seder (Steve Goldbloom) has it down to a science.
