Last night we watched "Finding Forrester" (Sean Connery, and a very young and talented Robert Brown), a charming movie, not based on a true story, totally fictional, about a reclusive one-hit-wonder author (we know a few of those, don't we?) and a genious young boy aspiring to write. I really enjoyed it and I recommend it to all of you.

Is it a recent movie? Did you watch it on video or in the cinema? I have not heard of it (shame on me probably), but I have a weak spot for Sean Connery, so I will look out for it.

Who doesn't? Anna, the man is just getting better and better. In this movie he was as sexy as ever.
The movie is about a year old. We rented it on video. Do watch it, it really was interesting and funny. There are many literary quotes in it.

A friend of mine has been telling me over and over about this movie... telling me to rent it. Now, I definitely will do so, seeing as Lale gives it the thumbs up.
