An awesome example of an innate gift of healing by brilliant minds that made a mark in medical history. I was so moved by it.

I'll check out "The Last Station" can't go wrong with a Plummer and Miren combo, thanks!

Knockaround Guys with Barry Pepper, Vin Diesel, John Malkovich and Dennis Hopper. Movie about sons of mobsters that botch a job for one mobster (Dennis Hopper) of collecting money. Very good movie.

Saw "Anonymous" last weekend, which tosses a spanner into the mystery of whom the real William Shakespear might have been. Very interesting story, nicely presented utilizing plenty o' flashbacks.

The 1st quarter was leaving me a bit bored as it dragged a mite & thinking I should have gone to see George Clooney... I wish I could say at the corner pub, but I mean at another film... <big sigh>. But, then it kicked up a pace & I was completely enthralled with the story, dialogue, spits of humor, period piece costuming & in particular, Rhys Ifans' brilliantly quiet portrayal of Earl of Oxford. He manages to simultaneously express melancholy without riding the abyss, deep but deeply supressed childlike inner joy, a quiet honor, stubbornness mingled with passion & a good dose of quiet entitlement without losing common decency... all often with just a shifting of posture, a quiet breath or a slightly changing look in his soulful eyes. I scarcely recognized him with the aging makeup.

By the way, all the actors were extraordinary... Vanessa Redgrave showed Queen Elizabeth in a different, more fun portrayal than we've seen before. The younger, unknown actors did a fine right job.

If you query, most UK reviewers pan the film's plot & report that most historians & experts in British Literature will despise it. It does present a dark underbelly & sometimes less than palatable view of the monarchy, which may offend some. The whole premise could be a leap of faith, but, we are surrounded with conspiracy theories on many subjects, so adding one more to the mix doesn't offend me... 'tis a movie with one POV after all & the filmmaker isn't the only one with that particular view.

Is it true? No idea & I don't think I'm supposed to figure it out or even believe it in the end. But, the acting is captivating & the film was nicely done.

Horrible Bosses.

It was mediocre. Some funny jokes here and there, sort of reminded me of a slightly darker and less memorable Office Space. The bosses in the movie (at least the first one), seem to be a person some people can relate to. The film could have been better, but for a rental is really wasn't all that bad.

Also it makes me wish I had a boss like Jennifer Aniston's character.

Win Win. Obscure little movie starring Paul Giamatti as a down-on-his-luck lawyer who also coaches a high school wrestling team in New Jersey and discovers a troubled boy who turns out to be a great wrestler. Good story and a nice intelligent alternative to most of the mindless crap out there.

Due Date....horrible...

Drive. Great soundtrack and cinematography. I like the 80s aesthetic (especially movies like Risky Business and American Gigolo).

Sarah's Note. We both thought it was an excellent movie.

The Holiday with Kate Winslet. It's one of my "go to" movies when I get in a certain mood. I find Kate's character's transformation inspiring.
