"Dark Shadows" on Sat. We enjoyed it a lot, my mom loved it, she was big fan of the original, and even named her first daughter, my sister, Angelique (which I always thought was appropriate when I was a kid! ).

Not a film but TV -- Harlots, Housewives and Heroines: A Girls' Guide to the 17th century by Lucy Worsley, BBC4. Great fun and delivered by a real enthusiast.

London: A Tale of Two Cities also BBC4 also shaping up well.

We watched "The Iron Lady" over the weekend. I love Meryl Streep and I thought she did an amazing job. However, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see more of the "Iron Lady" but rather the poor, senile, confused, woman. I know it worked for some people, but I was a bit sad for her. After all of the things she did for her country, that is now how I would want to be remembered.

Watched "Dead Again" today for the first time since the 90s - a good movie, fun noir if there can be such a thing. Nicely made, and of course there are some great in-jokes and games with British-actor casting and so on.
