Top of the month February 2010: Shutter Island

Madness…? This is Ashecliffe!

Top of the month January 2010: Agora

Violent memories of ancient times.

Why should you go see Agora by Alejandro Amenábar, right now?

– Because of the performance of Rachel Weisz, playing the part of philosopher and scientist Hypatia of Alexandria.

– Because it’s a great reminder that in the fourth century, the bearded men were not Taliban but Christian.
