Posted: 7/25/09 at 2:02pmAn Awfully Big Adventure! Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant blew my mind in that movie. A truly bizarre film.

Posted: 7/25/09 at 4:36pmTHE TALL GUY - Jeff Goldblum as an American actor in London appearing as a stooge for Rowan Atkinson in a West End show. Romance supplied by Emma Thompson. It gets even better - our hero gets cast in the title role of an RSC musical (think Les Miz, etc.) based on THE ELEPHANT MAN - and we get to see a few of the musical numbers from ELEPHANT!
