There Will Be Blood

[El Gordo]

Sorry to hear about your illness, GM. Sounds nasty, but if you can get to a cinema, I guess it's nothing life-threatening.

Agree Sweder, about Sense and Sensibility. I wasn't exactly reluctant to go as I'm quite an Austen fan, but I may not have bothered without the pressure of a family outing. Anyway, I thought it was absolutely wonderful. Hugh Grant is regarded as something of a figure of fun and ridicule, but let's face it, he does turn in reliably enjoyable performances. Yes, he gets typecast, but I'm not sure that I mind. Other great characters of British comic cinema --Terry Thomas, Leslie Phillips, Sid James... all seemed to find their character niche, and it's part of why we feel an affection for them.

Definitely a DVD recommendation, for anyone who's not seen it.
