 A town like Alice [videorecording] by Lee, Jack I loved this movie. You can’t take your eyes off Virginia MacKenna, whose subtle performance lights up the film. The story is similar to Paradise Road. I shed a tear at the end. posted May 20, 2013 at 7:09AM

 Topsy-turvy [videorecording] by Leigh, Mike A lovely film, with generous excerpts from Mikado and some from Princess Ida and Ruddigore. Rehearsal details mostly believable and performances uniformly superb. Highly recommended for the theater buff and poetry lover. posted May 11, 2013 at 11:47AM

 Carnage [videorecording]
I only lasted 30’ with this. It’s well acted, but watching these adults vie for control is too painful. posted May 11, 2013 at 11:43AM

 Neotpravlennoe pis’mo [videorecording] = Letter never sent by Kalatozov, Mikhail Fire and ice, over-the-top 1959 Socialist realism/fantasy. Strains credulity, but visually stunning. posted Apr 15, 2013 at 1:52PM

| Bord de mer [videorecording] = Seaside
"Bord de tears" is more like it. A critic has compared this to Chekhov, but I think it’s more like Eastenders, without the local color. posted Feb 19, 2013 at 1:05PM
