Michelle Williams gave such a contained performance, with moments of sheer panic and despair. When she hops on the train to head to Alaska (I think) it was a real reminder of the days of the Depression. True North and Far North both look interesting, with True North particularly timely. Here's a link to the Bright Star website: http://www.brightstar-movie.com/ Ouch, Paul. Depends if he did the movie before or after the facelift. : ) Wendy and Lucy was a very interesting film.

Very excited. Douglas as Liberace is a great idea. I’m going to see a preview of ‘Bright Star’ in a couple if weeks. Very excited. Douglas as Liberace is a great idea.

Yes, the post-plastic surgery look isn't a good one. I was watching Madonna's Celebration (contains vidoes of all her songs, although strangely not "American Life", the "political" one) and in "Miles Away" she has just that look. I understand that she believes in the importance of staying young and fit, but I'm sure not sure when young and fit was equated with "anorexic deer in headlights". I remember Douglas having that look not so long ago. Perhaps he has decided to sacrifice "youth" for his craft. Tee hee, that’s funny Bernice.

Douglas is a good actor. Should be an interesting flick. I have no idea what Liberace was like beyond the image. I wonder who will play Jamie Redfern? Douglas and Damon. Douglas is a good actor.

I wonder who will play Jamie Redfern?

Yikes, very hot. Thanks. I love Jane Campion flicks so I will catch that one. Never seen Twilight but it seems to be very popular (if the amount of women's magazine ink used to discuss it and it's cast is anything to go by). B & B is very easy to pick up. Just think Brooke crying and marrying Ridge and/or Thorne and/or Eric and/or Nick and/or, well, you get the picture. It's a trashy delight.

Nothing much memorabe in the DVD line (except the BBC's prodsuction of War And Peace, which I haven't watched a second time yet. Thinking of collecting the Upstairs and Downstairs DVDs. Haven't seen Twilight yet, and I'm missing heaps of episodes of B&B (which, to my astonishment, you can always pick up on after weeks of not watching it. Welcome back, Darlene.

Waltz with Bashir was great to, but as I got it back three days late it ended up costing me about $25. Must see what's on at the movies this week. Cheers, Fine : )
