    It only goes to show the versatility of Dame Helen Mirren as an actress.

    Not only can she play Queens (both Elizabeths for example) but also servants such as the housekeeper in Gosford Park or a Russian astronaut in 2010.

    I want to put in a plug for Ms Mirren's TV series "Prime Suspect," in which she plays a pioneering London police woman. DVDs were available in the US last winter and are now seen in Canada, even though I don't think the series officially aired here (PBS ran it in the USA so most Canucks did have the opportunity to watch). The series is quite well done, gritty and I guess realistic.

    There is a kilt involved in this movie indirectly. One of the riggers on this movie wore a kilt every Friday. During the shoot, Bruce put up some cash for a lottery for the crew. The rigger won the cash and next day he came into my shop and purchased a leather kilt. We nick named it the "Die Hard" kilt.
    The Film was shot in Toronto. FYI
    Cheers

    I saw it last week, I thought it was a really good movie, although I thought the main love story was a bit implausible.

    I thought her performance in Shadowboxer was really, really good. The plots seem a bit similar.
