'Evita' Gets BluRay Treatment
new this week to bluray
the critics were not kind. the audiences seemed to follow their lead. i totally disagree. 'evita' was a fine film musical. it was beautifuuly filmed and scored. madonna did her best work to date on film, actually it is her only good work on film. that aside, you should rent or buy this in bluray. it is a musical feast. available at amazon (see right sidebar).

Kate Winslet, Kenneth Branagh Get Royal Honors
LONDON (AP) — Kate Winslet has been honored by Queen Elizabeth II for
her titanic contribution to the arts.
The actress, who won a best
actress Academy Award in 2009 for "The
Reader" and made her breakthrough as the feisty Rose in
1997 blockbuster "Titanic," has been named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire,
or CBE, in the queen's Birthday Honors List, published Saturday.Winslet said the honor made her "very proud to be a Brit."
"I am both surprised and honored to stand alongside so many men and woman who have achieved great things for our country," the 36-year-old star said.
Actor and director Kenneth Branagh was made a knight and will be known as Sir Kenneth. A respected Shakespearean actor whose films as a director range from "Henry V" and "Hamlet" to the comic-book fantasy "Thor," Branagh said he felt "humble, elated, and incredibly lucky" to get the honor. It puts him in a pantheon of theatrical knights alongside the late Sir Laurence Olivier, whom Branagh played in "My Life With Marilyn."
"When I was a kid, I dreamed of pulling on a shirt for the Northern Ireland football team," said the Belfast-born, 51-year-old actor. "I could only imagine how proud you might feel. Today it feels like they just gave me the shirt, and my heart's fit to burst."
The honors are bestowed by twice yearly by the queen — at New Year's and on her official birthday in June — but recipients are selected by civil servants from nominations made by the government and the public.
Most go to people who are not in the limelight, for services to their community or industry, but they also reward a sprinkling of famous faces.
