I have ordered the dvd of Rocknrolla through interlibrary loan. Here in the state of Rhode Island, every library in the state is in the same system and we can order anything from any library to come to our local library of choice. I am in line for it - seems there a two people in front of me.
Other posts of mine regarding the actor Gerard Butler:
As I have only discovered the superb acting of Gerard Butler, I am slowly finding his work. I checked out the series The Jury from my library. This is an ensemble work. And it took me watching the ending of the 6 episodes to get me really involved in the characters and story. Then I went back and rewatched the beginning with total interest. Gerry is really good in this. And amethyst51 has posted his scenes from The Jury.
The Plot
The killing of a 15-year-old-boy rocks the nation, as a Sikh classmate of the boy's is charged with the murder. The trial, which is framed by protests and media speculation, brings together 12 jurors who find themselves having to make a decision that the entire country is waiting for.
The jurors include: Charles, a young man who has left the seminary to search for his lost love; Elsie, an old lonely woman who is dying; Johnny, a recovering alcoholic; Rose, a beautiful woman whose husband is paranoid in the aftermath of a car accident; Jeremy, a once-wealthy family man who lost all his money when conned by a friend in a bad investment; Peter, who wants to be a good and impartial juror at the trial but is besieged by his wife's parents, who want to get involved; and Marcia, a single mother who is forced to let her mother back into her life during the trial.
The victim, John Maher, was stabbed twenty-eight times on his way to school one morning. His classmate, Duvinder Singh, is accused.
Here are some clips to hopefully entice you into getting the 6 episodes and watching the entire series.

Celebs flock to Washington to attend pre-inaugural balls
Gerard Butler wanted so much to be part of the celebration of change, he flew to Washington at the last minute to attend the party and soak in some of the excitement. Butler says he's scheduled to start working on a new film on Tuesday (January 20), which is inauguration day, but he couldn't miss the once in a lifetime opportunity.
"It feels like he's kind of inspiring to everybody. And there's just something special going on and I want to be part of it." Source:www.gerardbutler.net
News on Gerard Butler's current work on Law Abiding Citizen
Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler are in town to film "Law Abiding Citizen," a psychological thriller the Hollywood trades say focuses on an assistant district attorney and a vigilante plot set into motion by a victim of the legal system. Through Friday morning, the City Hall court yard, will be closed and access to the Septa subway stairs will be also shut down. Source: www.gerardbutler.net
Crew members from "Law Abiding Citizen" yesterday were tricking out a City Hall Cabinet room near Mayor Nutter's office on the 2nd floor to prepare for a shoot that's expected there today. Jamie Foxx, who was in Washington yesterday for the inauguration of President Obama, will be part of the City Hall filming. He plays an assistant district attorney in the thriller directed by F. Gary Gray. Foxx's co-star Gerard Butler, who must be studlier than we thought based on the amount of e-mail we've gotten from local women who want to know his whereabouts, is not part of today's City Hall shooting.

AND P.S. I LOVE YOU GOT THAT NAILED DOWN Having just seen the movie P.S. I Love You for the first time on cable TV, I have enjoyed it since by watching it repeatedly. It just makes me feel good. I laugh at the same acting or lines each time I have seen it. Starring are Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank. Although a relatively small part Nellie McKay, I thought was outstanding in every scene and line she delivered as Hilary Swank's sister.
My son who is 21 years old watched it with me last night. He may deny it if I share what he said. But he really liked the movie, too.
Since, I have gone to the library and checked out several movies with Gerard Butler in them. Miracle Match is one. Here is the trailer. Here is a scene. I learned something by watching this movie about football (soccer) in the United States. A great story. One of the players in the story played 20 minutes from me in Fall River, Massachusetts. I particularly liked a scene on the airplane between two players about connecting with the "big spirit" in whatever way we have learned, in order to help us with what we need a dose of help with.
I adore this scene in P.S. I Love You... ..................................................

When I asked my son tonight what his favorite scene was in the movie P.S. I Love You he remarked of the scene near the end where the panoramic view of Ireland was in the background when Hilary Swank and Kathy Bates had just stopped on the road. It was an inviting view.
I love my life. I love where I live. And I am passionate about my passions. I love to dance. Necessary to live: music, piano, singing, writing, acting, painting.
I have been fighting for and supporting the arts all my adult life. Since 2004, I have been working with other activists to end the Darfur genocide.
I have traveled to Europe many times since my early twenties. Places I have been: many USA states including Hawaii, Montreal, Canada, Barbados, France, Spain, Luxembourg, England, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Germany - and have wonderful memories.
My last trip was in May - June 2013 to Spain.
I would like to travel to Europe and Kyoto, Japan.
I love the southwest where I have visited Hopi, Navajo, Zia and San Idlefonso potters.
Life is exciting and I intend to live it full-out to the end.
B.S. and M.M., both in music

Genocide is not only a word,
it is crying of the whole human race.
There is nothing redeeming about being silent
when speaking up is the humane thing to do.
The honor and integrity of the human race is at stake.
