Be sure to visit ‘The Last Station’

My friend Leslie Kelly has been talking about how good Christopher Plummer is in the film “The Last Station.” Plummer, a talented actor who has never moved much beyond the character he played in “The Sound of Music,” plays the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy .

Plummer has been nominated for Best Actor, which just means that he along with Colin Firth, Morgan Freeman, Jeremy Renner and George Clooney, are going to be left clapping as Jeff Bridges is handed his Oscar for “Crazy Heart.”

We’ll know just how good Plummer is on Friday, though, because that’s when “The Last Station” opens at AMC’s River Park Square Theatres . It will be accompanied by two mainstream features, “The Crazies” and “Cop Out.”

No word yet on what’s opening at the Magic Lantern. The two Oscar-nominated shorts programs are worth checking out, though.
