V for Vendetta

"Remeber, remember the fifth of November." So ends one of the trailers for the new DC Comic movie V for Vendetta. Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman star. You probably would recognize Hugo Weaving as Lord Elrond in The Lord of the Rings Triology and as Mr. Smith in the Matrix Triology. Ever since I saw the trailer, I have been hooked. I have to see this movie. There is something alluring about this film - I feel inexplicably drawn to it. Perhaps it's because I recognized the line about the fifth of November, a reference to Guy Fawkes's ill-fated attempt to blow parliament up. Perhaps I like Hugo Weaving's voice. Or perhaps it's the story line of a mysterious, masked Hero crusading for the people. Whatever the reason, when this film comes to theatre, I will have to see it. Check the trailer out at V for Vendetta . Hopefully, I'll have a means of getting to a theatre on 17 March!
