Mr. Wilbersmith Goes to London
Before my screening of Letters from Iwo Jima last night, I saw a trailer for Amazing Grace, the new film by Michael Apted about William Wilberforce and his defeat of the slave trade in England.
Staring the phenomenal British cast of Albert Finney, Michael Gambon, Ioan Gruffudd, Ciarán Hinds, Toby Jones, and Rufus Sewell, Amazing Grace looks magnificent. I love these independent period pieces. And what an extraordinary message.

Yes, slavery is bad. What an extraordinary message!
No, I kid ya. It looks great! But slap a ship of sail in any movie and I'm gonna be there. That, and biplanes. And pirates. And maybe the ocassional zeppelin.
I will be sure to see this film,it sound very interesting, and Slavery was a very bad thing.
Also I have to say that I have seen more amazing Sundance films in the beginning of this year than ever, please let me recommend the following:
Little Miss Sunshine
Pan's Labyrinth
Quincinera
Jesus Camp
mmmmm...Rufus Sewell is tasty. Just an observation.
"Dark City"--one of my favorite films.
