REEL THOUGHTS
THE DEBT
I've been a Helen Mirren fan since I first saw her work.
Prime Suspect, which PBS aired in the US sealed the deal, so I start with a bias. Despite that, and even if you were to
replace Mirren with another actress, the Debt is still
an intriguing and intricate story. The directing by BBC veteran John Madden (Shakespeare in Love)
weaves a story through a pattern of past to present unraveling and is superb. The wrestling with truth and how to deal with it is powerful and searing. The honor and
well being of a nation, as powered by a deceit, is a
strong mind game that will probably have you pondering.
Well acted, taut pacing and suspense, great script,
Tom Wilkinson and Helen Mirren. Two thumbs up from here.

POOR COLTS
Regrets for my Indianapolis friends and fellow Colts fans.
After weathering the uncertainty of a football season and thus Super Bowl, which the city hosts, now they've lost
Peyton Manning, maybe for the season. I know folks who were dreaming of Peyton leading the Colts to a hometown Super Bowl, which would have been a first. Now I just
hope Peyton will recover so he can continued his historic
career.
See you down the trail.
