Stiff and worn...

Lois Maxwell has died. I adore the Bond movies in all their political incorrectness, and I loved Moneypenny. Although toward the end, Lois seemed to be getting too old for the role, I think it's great that she was able to play the part for so long. Never a "star" she always came across in interviews as a very warm, down to earth person and I'm sad that she died. Glad that she died with her family around her. She'll be missed.

Tomorrow is my not-a-date with K. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Review: The Brave One

This week my movie was The Brave One. Jodie Foster is one of my favourite actresses, and I'm not likely to hate a film with her in it. I approached this one with some trepidation, having read some unflattering reviews. However, with some reservations, I really enjoyed this movie. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone: it is very violent, and morally ambiguous, but both of these can be strengths if you're someone who enjoys this type of film.
