Amanda Foreman, Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire Read it, watch the movie, read it again. So detailed and well-organized that one wonders how Georgiana's great great niece, Diana Spencer, could not take her as an example and avoid the same mistakes. If you know anything about Princess Diana's tragic life, Georgiana's will not be too foreign to you.
Movie:
"In Bruges" If you forgot that Colin Farrel is in the film industry for a reason other than bedding starlets with a surprising speed (and you'd be forgiven for thinking that) watch this movie. Apparently Mr. Farrell can still channel his old treading-the-boards days and get some good acting onto celluloid - o.k., digital tape. It's billed and marketed as a comedy, but don't be fooled, it is dramatic and heart-wrenching in the goofiest but most real way possible: A complex yet simple movie with a great cast that delivers.
Music:
Tarkan, "Metamorfoz & Remixes" Grew up listening to this man, love this man and his music. Tarkan is more often than not described as the Turkish Ricky Martin and, like Ricky Martin, most of his albums tend to pander to easy pop sales. With this album, the Turkish wonder-kind combines easy pop melodies with slightly darker lyrical themes. It is about time... Nevermind the odd cover photo of him as a mudcaked guru... Buy the album and enjoy the triple charged, first rate remixes by DJ's from around the world.
