My Week With Marilyn

KENNETH BRANAGH, EDDIE REDMAYNE, MICHELLE WILLIAMS


Based upon the time when Marilyn went England to do a movie with Sir
Laurence Olivier and initially frustrated everyone but in the end
was a delight.

Excellent acting by Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe.

Paths of Glory by Stanley Kubric
1957 Kirk Douglas, Adolphe Menjou

Just finished. A powerful indictment of war in black and white.
Well worth a watch. TCM.

Damn good movie.

I saw it first on the big screen when I was a teenager.

Great camera work especially scenes in the trenches and effective
use of black and white.

A huge anti war statement from this movie.

great scene: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=...ail&FORM=VIRE5

Click on the second scene at the top: shows scene in the trench
before the attack. Kirk is unflinchingly erect....everyone else is intimidated by the explosions.

Just finished Life On Mars Season 1 and 2

Pretty good the main character however is out shined by his boss, DCI Gene Hunt

The UK short episode tv series model (this series only had 16 total episodes) is really a nice format


there was this pretty cool looking Ford GXL (Cortina TC Mark III) car that reminded me of a Mustang II

Watched 'Hitlers' Children', it's on Netflix. Very moving and interesting. For example, Goerings' kids sterilized themselves to end the Goering line.

The Butler, a new one with the great Forrest Whitaker and that gal from The Color Purple. This one looks to be a good 'un.
