Driving Lessons
I watched Driving Lessons today and it is instantly one of my favorite movies. It was really well done and proves that Rupert Grint(Ron Weasley in Harry Potter) is a very good young actor. I definitely suggest the movie!

Seventeen-year-old Ben Marshall (Rupert Grint) is trying to escape from the domineering influence of his heavily religious mother (Laura Linney), wife of the local vicar, Robert Marshall (Nicholas Farrell). His world changes when he meets Dame Evie Walton (Julie Walters), a retired actress.

You can watch the preview here:

1. Glad to hear Grint has a good role...
...since he was pretty much reduced to mugging for the camera in the Harry Potter films -- hopefully, that will change in later episodes.

Starring the two Coreys!

Yeah. I think this is a case where you're GLAD you were born too late . . .

6. My 19 year old daughter and I just watched it last night.
It WAS good. I couldn't believe that was Julie Walters - she was so magnificently transformed into Evie Walton, she was a joy to watch.
