As with the sereis people just didn't get it - although this time the marketing department did much better - full of Whedon one liners delivered perfect;y CULT CLASSIC!
I mean come on - how many films do you see that make you go out and buy the DVD box set of a TV sereis the day after?

Monty Python's Life of Brian 4.5 Stars
I love this film.
The laughs hide very important observations about our society, and for the record, it's not against God or Jesus - it just pokes fun at their blind rabid followers.

It's even funnier if you've seen star trek and are a sci-fi geek. Alan Rickman = *SQUEE*! Sigourney Weaver rocks my sox.

La Reine Margot (Queen Margot) 4.5 Stars
I saw it in french with english subtitles as a "fun" history lesson and is this an amazing film or what? The historical deatial is mindblowing, and the drama so intense. Slightly too graphic for my usual tastes it is a beautifully crafted peice of work - and I didn't even get to see the end.
