Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson were brilliant in "In Bruges".....I readily agree he is getting much better as an actor....He was alright as John Smith in the strange and visually beautiful film "The New World" .........As long as I'm bashing Disliked "Troy" Brad Pitts (Good actor) but so miscast as Achilles......not sure about the martial arts kick boxing sword combats.....

I really, really wanted to like Alexander, but couldn't make it past the half-hour mark. I tried twice, just to be sure. Apart from Farrell's peroxide job and accent, it was just so cack-handed and leaden. What was Oliver Stone thinking?

Must admit I used to be prejudiced against Farrell, but then I saw the immortal In Bruges. "They're filming midgets!"

Last night I watched "Lost in Austen"
It was hilarious. I highly recommend it for any Jane Austen fan, who has a sense of humor.

I tried that one a few years ago. Perhaps if they told it in order, I might like it more. I did make it through.... once. Barely.

Has anyone seen the movie Cromwell, starring Richard Harris? I saw a clip the other day on a blog and decided to get the DVD. It arrived today, but I haven't had the chance to watch it yet.

My husband got bored as he said there didn't seem to be any plot. In fact, he fell asleep and I ended up watching it by myself. LOL.

I've seen it & liked it overall. It looks stunning, and Alec Guinness is great as C1, but the pace is slow by modern standards.

Took the kids to see Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole on Saturday. We enjoyed it. The books look like they'd be fun to read, though the kids and I haven't read them.
