On Radio National yesterday, on my way to work, I heard a good review of the movie. Checking the papers, I see it is not showing up here yet. I may have to wait for it to come out on DVD

It had a very limited release here in the US. It never made it to where I live. I think this may be the movie Weisz was working on when they shot the third Mummy movie, which is why she wasn't in it. Her performance alone makes it worth seeing. Definitely an Oscar level performance in my estimation.

I'm still waiting for my copy. The DVD has been available to rent for about a week now, with copies calling at me from the shelves (most are out on loan, so it seems to be a popular choice). Copies to purchase will, I'm now told, be available in about a week (after the 16th).
Anyway, tomorrow is the anniversary of Hypatia's martyrdom in 415, so, much as I hate to spend on rental when I'll soon have a copy of my own, I've given into temptation and hired a copy.

I watched it today, on the anniversary of Hypatia's murder (415 CE). Excellent movie. It sanitized the manner of her death but the barbarity was such that it would have revolted viewers. Let the history be known, this was the brutal manner in which the gentle philosophy of Christ was bastardized by Paul and eventually gained political ascendancy, taking more martyrs than it gave and ushering in the Dark Ages.
