Arnold Schwarzenegger is the greatest star of all time. Everyone else (Cary Grant, Bruce Willis, James Stewart, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise etc) are all mere mortals who you may like, but are still just people. Schwarzenegger on the other hand was a God to my 13-year-old eyes. His films up to True Lies in 1994 are mostly all classics. I’ll take The Running Man over pretty much any modern action...
Today would have been the 80th birthday of Grace Kelly, born November 12, 1929. Last year, I wrote a post about her here . Now a new book by author Donald Spoto was just released this month. I have read almost every major biography of Grace Kelly, so I'm sort of anxious as to whether or not this one is going to be any good.

The title makes this post sound very exotic, but it's 'far' in terms of distance from the UK. The two films I'm posting about here are excellent seasonal movies - at least one of them is a classic - but they're only currently available on Region 1 DVDs, from the US.
