Movie Recommendations, Rants and Ruminations
The King’s Speech was directed by Tom Hooper, who also directed John Adams and The Damned United. In this interview on NPR’s Fresh Air, Hooper gives us some nuggets about the making of all three films.
The King’s Speech is on my list of the Best Movies of 2010. John Adams is on my 10 Patriotic Movies. The Damned United is the best soccer movie on my Best Sports Movies.
“Two Ladies: Are You Team Bella, or Team Lisbeth?” NPR’s Fresh Air’s John Powers has written a very insightful essay on this year’s two most popular – and contrasting – female role models – Bella of the Twilight series and Lisbeth of Stieg Larsson’s Millenium trilogy. An excellent read.
Note to Patricia: The only reason that I haven’t yet seen The Girl Who Played With Fire, is that I’m waiting for my wife to finish the book before we go; she assures me that we’ll make it to the theater this weekend. I’m glad that you found Played With Fire gripping.
