Like you said, it could seem much duller than it actually is. <br />I like that you chose your blind spot literally, watching something that has been around you for a long time. Since this isn't really a super popular movie or classic.acrosstheuniversepodcasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458962238389919527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-24730025992807335522014-11-25T10:27:23.474-08:002014-11-25T10:27:23.474-08:00Thanks.

Dench was certainly very good in this movie, possibly because it was refreshing to see her playing a more despicable role than you normally see from her. Now I've just got one more film to do, which is White Hunter, Black Heart. This should be interesting.John Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373653979400552490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-20594830335818822532014-11-25T10:07:49.416-08:002014-11-25T10:07:49.416-08:00I absolutely love this movie.
