COME ON IN MY KITCHEN
You may or may not know that Mike and I share an unnatural attraction to a certain English actor by the name of Michael Kitchen. If you don't know FOYLE'S WAR, put it on your Netflix queue NOW. It's some of the most brilliant TV ever to be exported from Britain.
Anyway, we are suffering through a dry spell at the moment, between FOYLE installments, and we needed a Kitchen Fix. This led us to rent a 1997 film version of MRS. DALLOWAY (not exactly the most cinematic of stories) starring the venerable Vanessa Redgrave as Clarissa, and The Kitch as the slighted (and slightly batty) Peter Walsh. Vanessa did a noble job as Clarissa (she WILL buy the flowers herself), and The Kitch had a great (and characteristically understated) breakdown scene, but over-all, EH. Not great. There was some cheesy slow-mo photography and some awkward transitioning between Clarissa's life then and now, but over-all, it was worth it just to get our fix.

i know i keep harping, but there must be a viewing of ENCHANTED APRIL and THE BUCCANEERS for two very different Kitch performances. He's also in OUT OF AFRICA. he's in everything!
