Charlotte Gray

IMDB TWO count them TWO cast members from the original Singing Detective, and that's on top of a whole new Cate Blanchett accent. Magnifico! Too bad the script couldn't live up to such levels of excellence. And, as Christine says, most members of the French Resistance probably looked more like Daniel Auteiul than Billy Crudup.

I Capture the Castle

IMDB A series of quips about the pining done in this movie, at least two of which aren't funny and/or don't make sense: 1. Oh, the pining. 2. Shot in pine-o-vision. 3. I capture the pining. 4. Pine-sol.
