Cold Mountain

Casmir's favorite part of this movie was when Ruby Thewes, played beautifully by Renee Zellweger, snapped the head of an aggressive rooster that was terrorizing Nichole Kidman's Ada Monroe.

My stepfather, former Anchorage Chief of Detectives and Seward Police Chief, found the opening Civil War scenes too violent for his liking and quit the piece there. Who would have guessed?

It is sad. Beautiful, sad, tragic, sad, some lovely moments, lovely sad moments. You don't just feel for some of these characters, you loose part of your soul to them.
