Based on the true story of Eric Lomax, who was a British Army officer and prisoner in a Japanese camp in WWII.

Not sure what to make of the trailer. Apparently, the rating for the US version hasn't been decided. That's crucial. With movies like '12 Years A Slave', which seems to look history in the eye, a PG-13 version of 'The Railway Man' may not play well.

This particular trailer lacks a strong hook.




I'm moving. My new blog is 101-to-la, as in highway 101 to Los Angeles. I'll be double posting here and at the new blog for a while, then retiring MoovyBoovy.

Like the 60s All Over Again

Good poster considering the plot, the title, and the fact it's by the Coen brothers.

• An art curator decides to seek revenge on his abusive boss by conning him into buying a fake Monet, but his plan requires the help of an eccentric and unpredictable Texas rodeo queen. 

Marketing was going down the wrong path. I think they got the message.

'The King's Speech' Clips

These are good. No, not good. Entertaining. When was the last time you were entertained by a movie?

Acting, direction, writing, character -- all there. Would not be surprised if 'The King's Speech' took home a basket full of statuettes.

'The King's Speech'

Love this trailer. Love any movie about England and WWII. Waiting.
