I'll have to check it out.

Anyways, back in gear preparing for The Dark Knight Rises, I watched

A Tale of Two Cities (1935) 9/10 - I've been reading that Christopher Nolan took inspiration from the Dickens book. I didn't really have the time to read it, though I wanted to, but I noticed that the film was playing on TCM, so I DVRed it, and watched it. Very interesting story. I can't say for sure, but they must have taken out quite a bit from the book because the film feels, at many times, shallow. But it picks up significantly in the second half, and features a great performance by Ronald Colman. Recommended.
