For instant relief of the mid-Winter blahs (Northern Hemisphere) or the dog days of Summer (Southern Hemisphere), visit the new features in The Rickmanista Review:

Jutta’s Antony and Cleopatra review, and a link to another review, on the Theatre page
The Michael Collins Page
The Winter Guest Page
the updated Links to eighteen fabulous Rickman-related sites

For a good evening at the movies, see Waking Ned Devine, a very funny film, and for Valentine’s day Shakespeare In Love with the beautiful Joseph Fiennes.

This Month’s Letter To The Editor

Dear Fausta,
I just saw that photo of Mr. Rickman and Helen Mirren, and all I can say is, "Why isn't that me????!"
Sigh
Laurie

. . . And Now For A Birthday Message

This Month’s Quote

"I am honoured to have become a member of a very large group of wise people that have a generous, loyal, brave and cool guy called Alan Rickman as a friend."
Helen Mirren, Sunday Telegraph, 13 December, 1998.

A toast to Ms Mirren!
