ENCORES:
The French Lieutenants Woman (1981) Meryl Streep, Jeremy Irons. Meryl is drop-dead gorgeous in the costumes for the French Lt's. section of the story. Flaming hair and peaches and cream complexion. The story of a play that the cast is doing, and the characters in the 1800s is interesting, but confusing. I give it high marks for the beauty of the cinematography and the mystery, and the two leads, who are beautiful, too. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082416/
In And Out (1997) Kevin Kline, Joan Cusack, Tom Selleck, Matt Dillon, Debbie Reynolds. A high school english prof is suddenly outed by a former student who won an academy award and told the whole world. Not as funny as I remembered. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119360/
NEW to me:
The Sinking Of The Laconia (2010-TVseries) Andrew Buchen, Franka Potente, Ken Duken, Brian Cox. A German U-Boat torpedo's and sinks a large passenger vessel that has been turned into a troop and prisoner ship. The story then is of the struggle of the German Captain on whether to save as many people as he can. Which is what he tries to do. There are many dilemmas and problems and the biggest is the US air force with orders to bomb the U-boat even with a large red cross visible across the bow. After being suckered many times in both theaters of war, the Allies shot first and ask questions later. That's war in all its' horror. Good film based on a true event. 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1504261/
