Snow Day! (And general catch-up)

I thought everyone was brilliantly cast, with the exception of Churchill. This film is Colin Firth's revenge for being snubbed the Oscar for A Single Man. I found the framing of his shots to be very similar - it's another intimate look at a tortured soul, his forte. I could watch the man forever - and paired with Rush, it's too delightful and yummy for just one sitting.
