The Last Station is all about truth, love, and Tolstoy

My son Malachi is in town for a few days, and we're trying to see a bunch of movies for which I haven't had time and he hasn't had money. I've recently been on a Kindle-induced Tolstoy binge, so I especially loved The Last Station...



Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren are up for Oscars as Mr. and Mrs. Tolstoy. It's a great script, beautifully executed. Laughed, cried, couldn't wait to get home and read more Tolstoy.

With that cast, holy crap!!!! Putting it on my Netflix cue NOW!
Oh wait. It's still in THEATERS?? WHERE?????
Plummer AND Mirren? Sounds excellent already.

Adding it to a very long list.

Great trailer, too. Historical film about writers, yeah!

I think it's still at the River Oaks Theater, Kathryn.

Saw Polanski's film "The Ghost Writer" at the Angelika. Very good if not great. Tough film to watch if you are writer. I can't say more than that without giving too much away.
great way to be together. enjoy the special time. wj
