Has the Royal Opera house gone mad? No, not really. The new opera, written by the same genius who composed "Jerry Springer: The Opera" is actually getting good reviews. Click here to read the review from The New York Times!

Antibodies


This was one of those choices where the cover art (on the left) caught my attention... thought I'd check it out to see if it was any good. I was hooked after about two minutes of the film's opening.

The title and box art don't do it justice. (The alternate cover on the right is a bit more on the mark.) It's a very complex and taut thriller.  It is as good as "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" in visual style and content.

I don't want to divulge too much of the plot... it's more fun to have it unravel without knowing too much of it. 

Check it out this weekend. If you like well-crafted and suspenseful thrillers, you'll be very entertained. It's available on DVD and on Netflix streaming.
