However, at the moment I like South American Getaway from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid It brings back a few memories that I can go into.

[Ignis Fatuus]

Is that the Proper Swedish Wallander* or the pale British imitation?


*Which I notice isn't on this coming Saturday on BBC4, but has been displaced by assorted Battle of Britain progs.

I have only seen the British one but I was impressed by Branagh's powerful performance. I look forward to seeing the Swedish one too. One reviewer said that Branagh's character shows his emotion by crying a lot, Henriksson's shows his despite not crying a lot.

[OwlHoot]

1) Gladiator

I recommend Centurion. It's a similar genre, and like Gladiator on steroids (although a good plot too).

Not sure if it's out yet, but I was lucky enough to find a good copy to download.
