Anyone seen the new JANE EYRE movie yet? It so disappointing when the "playing in select cinemas" announcement does not apply to yours! I can't wait . . . but guess I will have to.

Probably won't play here. I don't think the local theater would have played The King's Speech if it hadn't been a heavy favorite for Best Picture. They're not much for culture in general.

The trailer looks good. I'd like to see it in the theater if I could.

Thought I posted this yesterday, but must have failed to hit the "submit" button after I "previewed" it. Hate it when that happens! Anyway, attended a live in HD opera production of Donizetti's Lucia Di Lammermoor at my local movie theater on Sunday. A fascinating experience watching the performance live, but on a screen with all the closeups. We could see the tenor sweat and the crowsfeet around the soprano's eyes. A straight-forward, doomed lovers story based on a HF novel by Sir Walter Scott titled The Bride of Lammermoor. Beautiful music, interesting director choices, the ending made me cry.

Elizabeth I. I guess it's actually mini-serie but still. I liked it and thought Helen Mirren was good Elizabeth.

Burn After Reading. In-ter-es-ting. Good cast and a few funny moments, but overall it was miss-able. Fairly predictable too.

State of Play. I enjoyed it. Even though Rusty is a bit of a tosser in real life, he is still an incredible actor.

Accursed Kings. Recorded this series recently and finally got around to watching the first episode. I also put G. Depardieu in the incredible actor category.

Crimes and Misdemeanors. Watched it in class.

I saw a film which was a kind of "Last of the Mohicans" meets "Sound the Pibroch" -- what was it called - Oh, yeah -- The Eagle.

I dread to think what RS would have thought. I nearly walked out -- I really should have done.
