The Imitation Game

Drink: Kolsch

Entree: Reubens
Side: Cucumber Dill Salad
Timing: Studying binary code!

Movie:
The role that Alan Turing played in WWII is not well known & unfortunately this will remain the case even after this film.  Benedict Cumberbatch did a great job playing the role of this math genius.  He has endless depth and conviction but the film overall did not come together.  Keira Knightley certainly cheapened the effort by inserting her pretty commerical face into the role of Joan Clarke.  I'm all for picking English actors to play English parts because with our sophisticated audiences now the days of an American being able to pull off an English accent are done.  However let's keep in mind that there are other female English actresses out there besides Kiera Knightley.  She is getting over exposed in our home theater anyways!

Back to the movie...this is an interesting story but the screenplay had some holes & the directing was cheesy.  We have not had a modern day period piece in a while so that was nice but it was a little rough around the edges.
