		<description><![CDATA[I saw RED (Retired,ExtremelyDangerous, not the color) today, with Bruce Willis leading as a retired CIA operative who&#8217;s been targeted for assassination. It&#8217;s seriously predictable and way over the top. As long as you can go with that and can suspend belief for a couple of hours, I have to say that it&#8217;s really not [...]]]></description>

I had never given much thought to how Churchill came to power in World War II. I knew about Neville Chamberlain (he of appeasement, Munich and &#34;peace [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I made the mistake a couple of months ago of watching the new film version of Brideshead Revisited. It was perfectly dreadful. Now I have to admit that it was very lush and beautifully (and expensively) filmed, and the performances weren&#8217;t bad. But the story! It was as though they were filming not the book, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I saw the new Star Trek, not without some trepidation, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Obligatory disclaimer: there may be spoilers ahead. (I don&#8217;t really think so, but at least you can&#8217;t say that I didn&#8217;t warn you.) It does make me feel very old to realize that the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently finished reading this account of John Cooke, the lawyer who prosecuted the case against Charles I, leading to the King&#8217;s execution. All I really knew about the English Civil War was the description from 1066 and All That of it as an &#34;utterly memorable Struggle between the Cavaliers (Wrong but Wromantic) and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Globe Bookstore, an English-language bookstore and caf&#233; in Prague, recently started a (free) Sunday evening movie series in which they show &#34;classic&#34; Czech movies subtitled in English. A few weeks ago, they showed Postriziny, which was charming, although much of the humor was seemingly lost in translation. (After the movie, the Czech waitresses were [...]]]></description>

As I read the article, it called to mind the song Good Night and Thank You from Evita. Now understand, I am not for one [...]]]></description>

I have two specific thoughts to share, though: I thought that the choice of Hello Dolly to establish WALL&#183;E&#8217;s model for romance was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This movie, reportedly the most expensive Czech movie to date, seems to have polarized opinion here. Some people, particularly English-speaking men, assure me that &#34;Oh, it&#8217;s terrible. Don&#8217;t bother&#34;. Others, mostly Czech women, enthusiastically endorse it. So, since the English language version is showing in Prague, I had to go see it for myself. Elizabeth [...]]]></description>
