She was great, I'm watching Who Is America now.

The Birdman of Alcatraz, a sympathetic portrayal of a rather violent man. It does show that life means life, i had to google the prison he went to from the rock.

I can't say that I enjoyed watching it, although it was well produced and effective.

Something a bit more cheerful next, I think.
