OFF WEEK - The Railway Man

I've had to concede to myself that there will be weeks in which I won't have time to update this blog. It's not necessarily because I won't have time to write a review; it's more based on the time, or lack there of, that I have to watch a movie.  I could write and have written in some instances about movies I like but haven't seen recently.  However, when I do that, I tend to not be nearly as motivated in my writing, and the blog suffers.  

In place of writing a crappy review here and there, I've just decided to write a short paragraph for those weeks about a movie that is coming out soon that I'd like to see or a movie I've never seen that I intend to watch as soon as time permits.  Some of these will classics, some will be indies of which you may have never heard, some may will be unreleased titles.  Regardless, it will turn out better than if I just force an entry about something I'm not really motivated to write.


I like Colin Firth a lot, and I'm a huge fan of Stellan Skarsgard.  Put the two together in a based-on-a-true-story drama, and I'm all about it.  Firth's acting in The King's Speech wasn't the only role I've ever liked him of his, but it's the one that sold me on any future movies he's a part of making.  I'll even put aside the fact that I'm not the biggest Nicole Kidman fan.  This looks really good, like, Oscar contender good.
