Wonderful six years later

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2006)

I originally saw Billy Elliot when it was first released in the US they're. I guess I had forgotten what a wonderful film it is. While searching for something to watch at the local library, the VHS version was sitting there waiting for someone to borrow it. I must be getting old, because I had forgotten most of the story over the last half decade. I was reminded of the wonderful soundtrack, performances, directing, cinematography etc. After viewing it a number of times this week I went back to IMDb to research the cast and crew. I was then shocked to learn that the part of Jimmy in King Kong was Jamie Bell. I'm really happy to see his career is doing so well, and that he will be in the upcoming Flags of our Fathers with the equally talented Adam Beach. IMO it would be a shame to describe the film to someone who hasn't seen it. I recommend loading up on munchies, renting Billy Elliot, and sitting back some night with family or friends and having a thoroughly enjoyable evening!
