Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

"The Last Station" with Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer; amazing film. Beautifully written, with astounding performances; and a fascinating look at the last year of Leo Tolstoy's life and the battle over the copyright of his novels. Mirren is breathtaking as Tolstoy's tempestuous, devoted wife.
Also saw a hysterically funny film with Sandra Bullock, "All About Steve," in which she plays a freakish crossword puzzle designer who stalks a handsome camera man, played by Bradley Cooper. Very funny and not in that raucous, fratboy way that characterizes so many comedies these days.

Enjoyed watching "Pirate Radio"....A snapshot of 1966/67 music in the UK....No rock music allowed to play on the British radio....so a Radio ship anchored in the North Sea....35 miles off the coast of England starts playing the illegal sounds of Rock and Roll over the British airways....The film is very light and takes whimisical approach.... not for the purist...but a very nostalgic trip to the swinging times of England....A Cast of likeable characters who play various roles....Love the DJs....and the musical soundtrack is terrific.....BTW they nailed the 60's look.....Choregraphy is a joy to watch....A feel good flick BTW....Kenneth Branagh is hilarious as very uptight British Cabnet Member...(the hair and glasses are perfect)....Phillip Seymour Hoffman is the lead,and is trumped by the terrific UK cast....look for Emma Thompson as the " Sexual Legend".....

This sounds suspiciously like The Boat That Rocked...did they change the title for the US?

Watched Letters to Juliet. I wasn't going to see it, figured it would be another light romantic thing, but I love Redgrave and watch anything she or her sister are in. I was pleasantly surprised, a rather mature (if predictable) romantic movie, with some lovely shots of the countryside around Sienna (I really must make another trip there, we spent most of our time in the bigger cities and really didn't make it out to Verona,Sienna and other places. One of these days) Anyway, I'd recommend this.
