On the bookshelf: "The Faith of the Early Fathers, Vol. I," translated by William Jurgens. A must read for those who want to learn about Christian history and the remarkable saints who led the church. On DVD: "Valentino: Rediscovering an Icon of Silent Film," with some of his earliest films and oodles of extras...magnificent! Valentino was an astounding actor, with sublime grace and talent.… Lire la suiteOn the bookshelf: "The Faith of the Early Fathers, Vol. I," translated by William Jurgens.

F. Murray Abraham is marvelous portraying Salieri's pride and envy, and having to suffer the indignity of mediocrity; the part garnered him a Best Actor Oscar and a Golden Globe, among other awards, and as Mozart, Tom Hulce is stupendous, with his high pitched raucous giggle, fluffy wigs, and energetic appeal. Others in the cast of note… Lire la suite
