I'm not much of a movie-goer but did see a fantastic movie this weekend, Eastern Promises, with Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts. Be aware that it's an extremely violent film but a great story of the Russian Mob in London. Believe it or not, an extra added treat were the trailers before the movie. There are three interesting new movies due out this fall based on best-selling novels. Why not read the books and then catch the movies to see how well they translate to the big screen.

Reservation Road by John Burnham Schwartz
Atonement by Ian McEwan
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
