When my daughter & her husband came here last spring the four of us went to see Match Point at the Alamo, and all enjoyed it a great deal. Jonathan Rhys Meyers was a major reason for choosing this movie. He seems to have a remarkable range for such a young actor. Besides Match Point we've seen him in Ride with the Devil, Elvis, Velvet Goldmine, Bend it like Beckham, and Vanity Fair. The plot did seem familiar while watching it, but it was that old movie with Montgomery Clift, Shelly Winters and Elizabeth Taylor called "A Place in the Sun" that came to mind. Annie PS I found a copy of "Brideshead Revisited" at a secondhand store, and also found "Mansfield Park", which is my current read. Hello, M.

Seems Woody just went with younger, sexier actors for this one. <p class="comment">I've put <i>Crimes and Misdemeanors</i> in my Netflix queue. Hey do you Netflix?
