Children of Men

D and I went and watched the movie "Children of Men" starring Clive Owen and directed by Alfonso Cuaron. It was totally not what I expected. But it was GOOD. I don't know why I was expecting a hollywood experience (even had this notion it would be a fun, mostly mindless, run like Minority Report) but we got much more than that. It was brutal and realistic (well, as realistic as you can get when a film is set in the future).

another suprise was that it was written by PD James, one of my crime fiction writers. the movie was so NOT crime fiction. well, i'm aching to read the book now. reserved it at our local library...
