Movie Review: Les Misérables

January 5, 2013 St. Anne's Public House

Les Misérables. Directed by Tom Hooper, Starting Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, and Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried. Produced by Working Title and Relativity Media. Distributed by Universal Pictures.

The recent movie Les Misérables is of course a film version of the long running Broadway musical that has become an international phenomenon, leading to the selling of CDs, mugs, and t-shirts with pictures of Cosette before all the iconic buildings of the world. This suggests that during Cosette’s youth, she and Jean Valjean hid from Javert by traveling the world, but then went back to France for some reason. If they had only continued traveling, perhaps Jean Valjean would have lived, but I digress.

This film is well worth seeing in the theater. If you haven’t seen it go see it. Then listen to this review. This your spoiler alert. You have been warned.

We really only have one frequently asked question, and that is, Why St. Anne’s Public House? As for the St. Anne’s part, that's short for the Company of St. Anne’s, a group of very average people who fight off the evil nasties of N.I.C.E in C.S Lewis’ novel, That Hideous Strength. We liked the idea that God uses pretty average people doing average things for His glory. The Public Houses and Coffee Houses of 17th Century England were places for public discourse. So it's the discourse, more than the alcohol, that we are emphasizing. But we do enjoy a nice Shiraz now and again. We used to be a primarily CD based journal. But when’s the last time you listened to a CD? Yup, that’s what we thought. Downloads for all available back issues are free. Thanks for stopping in. Please pull up a table and enjoy yourself.
