Bellini - Norma / Joan Sutherland, Margreta Elkins, Ron ...
not quite: This recording is in 1978, and Sutherland just a bit past her amazing prime as the greatest coloratura soprano of our time, plus she was having a bad day. The high notes not brilliant, and "Casta Diva" is shaky and off key, and [... more]

Two If by Sea (Widescreen)
Two If By Sea: I thought this movie was fantastic. The thief was cool and his girlfriend the cashier was fantastic but we would expect that from Sandra Bullock. The FBI agent was also cool and I liked at the end when he let the two go. The action in the [... more]
