September 22, 2009I saw this movie being filmed in Richmond. I didn't think much of it though, it was a little one sided for my liking.

February 19, 2009A sweet (if not idealized) version of the creation of Peter Pan. Kate Winslet is sublime as always, and Johnny Depp does a surprisingly good Scottish brogue.
