The Painted Veil: Naomi Watts regrettably takes a proper doctor, Edward Norton as husband due to family pressure. Norton then takes a government assignment in China where he tackles an epidemic. 'Pygmy' co-stars as a career Brit foreign service official that service the infected area.

The Lives of Others: Get that down-home feeling as the Stasi takes a keen interest in a film writer. Quite frightening for a Westerner to absorb yet reminds one we are nowhere close to that.

The Dancer Upstairs: Bardem plays a police inspector who let a prime terrorist slip through his hands years ago--now the terrorist is wrecking his country.

The White Countess: Pre-rape Shanghai finds Ralph Fiennes becoming enamored of a Russian countess (Natasha Richardson) who fled the old country.

Mr Grits

Did you really like this movie?

I found it the most turgid piece of dross I've seen in ages. I actually fell asleep not once, but twice, during it (perhaps the good bits occurred when I was asleep). It was like watching paint dry. It had no plot that I could discern. Ralph Fiennes had the charisma of a used tissue. I wanted the Japs to bayonet him just so I wouldn't have to put up with his cutesy, vulnerable blind geezer persona.

Regards. Doug
