Don't look now folks... but the undefeated San Francisco 49ers are bringing their winning brand to the L.A. Memorial Coliseum this Sunday to take on a wayward Los Angeles Rams team.

"The important thing for us is obviously this isn't where we...

Flashing lights . . . blaring alarms . . . confusion . . . an unexpected ending to an intriguing week, but allow me to backtrack . . . "Raison" (reason) is an appropriate French word with which to start this story, because what reason can I give to justify writing in a local publication about COLCOA (City of Light, City of Angels), a week of French film and series premieres that took place Sept. 23 - 28 at the Directors Guild of America on Sunset Blvd.?
