Weekend Movie Suggestions When I think of Geoffrey Rush, I think of his Marquis de Sade  in Quills, or  the speech and language therapist who taught George VI to stop saying Th-th-th-th-th-ank-ank-you in Quills. Now, I will forever think of him as Virgil Oldman, the somewhat eccentric, and somewhat(+) crooked art auctioneer hired by a muy reclusive young heiress.  An engaging mystery thriller with a bundle of fine acting performances.  We did not see the truck coming! Not that truck anyway. We loved it. NEXT (below)  Special Corresondents It was late. I was browsing Netflix for suitable dinner movies.  Netflix was ballyhooing its Special Correspondents, so I gave it a try. An hour and a half later, not counting trips to the loo, I'd watched it all.  Mo-Sup actually came down at one point to see why I was laughing like an idiot. Now, sometimes I find myself in a particular mood that dictates how I'll receive something.  It could be that I had such low expectations going in that I was a sucker for above average, but I don't think so.  I have new respect for Ricky Gervais as a writer-director-actor.  I know I've seen Eric Bana before, but I can't tell you where without the Google, but he's quite good here.  I gave it an instant 5 Stars, and I don't feel like recanting yet.
