I picked up Anna Karenina the other day just to enjoy the opening chapters over lunch and now I seem to be rereading Anna Karenina, so it's probably not a total coincidence that this popped into my mind when I was looking for office music this morning. The whole movie is online (Nevsky, that is, although you can find versions of AK, too); seminal works in a given genre often are objects of interest more than pleasure for me, but the Eisenstein flick still works as entertainment.

Just finished Cloud Atlas, which I enjoyed a lot. Guess I have to watch that movie at some point, too, although my expectations there are not very high.
