Picked up two of the remote controls, 4 and 5. Stopped a bit to talk to Brian as he waited for confirmation it was okay to pickup 3.
2 movies.
The Guard (1) with Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle. It's about a cop in rural Ireland, a pretty sleepy place, who has to work with a black FBI agent because of a suspected ring of drug traffickers.
Or that's what you'd believe from the trailer. It's a lot more complicated and interesting and funny than your average movie with a similar pitch. I really liked it. I'll certainly be watching it again on DVD with subtitles to see what I missed. I'll probably actually buy this one.
Beneath Hill 60 (1) (Australia). A World War I movie about miners who worked underneath No Man's Land. Low budget but with a big budget feel. Good acting. Neat story. After I watched it, I googled to find the diary it is based on. Unfortunately, it's unpublished. I'd read it if it were available. (One of the officers in this is named "McBride," which made me sit up and take notice. I read another WWI biography by H.W. McBride called "
A Rifleman Went to War"---Not the same guy, though.)
