Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[flippyshark]

Like cirque lover, I was very pleasantly surprised by Rio. I just got my first HDTV a few weeks ago, and that title really pops! Not any kind of earthshaking story, but it's all invitingly pleasant and upbeat, with fun music and just plain jaw-dropping visuals. The character design, especially of the birds, is highly appealing, and the whole thing left me in a very good mood.

I'm on some kind of Tudor kick this week: A Man For All Seasons (great!), Anne of the Thousand Days, Mary, Queen of Scots ... I tried to watch the Netflix stream of the early thirties Private Life of Henry VIII, but it's faded, dupey, lousy audio - basically unwatchable.
