Well, here's my vote for what might turn out to be the best war or war related film so far this century. If you seek an Afhganistan experience that humanizes the 'war effort' and its suburban impact there and here, THE HURT LOCKER is it. Jeremy Renner is a strange new-ish actor, I have never seen him before but felt as though I had. He reminds me of Daniel Craig. Or maybe Craig's younger brother. I see today that Renner in in the running to play Max Rockatansky in MAD MAX 4 FURY ROAD. He is not suited for that but his suitability for the role of bomb defuse expert in THE HURT LOCKER is truly terrific. Strong guest appearances from Guy Pearce and Ralph Feinnes helped raise the budget cash and the international sales, I am sure even their roles are tiny but effective. Renner though is spectacular. I am not impressed with Kathryn Bigelow's previous directorial efforts but she has presented here with this film a redeeming result. Much of the hand held camera-work mars the quality and interest in the film, some of it downright irritating. However for a 2 hour war related film about the seductiveness of the adventure of war and its impact on one man with a family back home, THE HURT LOCKER is a great film. the scene in the supermarket with him searching for breakfast cereal is majestic emotional understatement. The title is terrible and will have put potential ticket-buyers off. So take my advice, and go, and then settle in for an experience in tension and emotion and humanity.

All I can say is that I hope to Christ this is the pilot for a cable
drama because I would watch it week after week, religiously. This has
to be the smartest, most engaging action film I've seen, jeez, I don't
know, add in all the suspense and the lunacy and, well, maybe since
Saving Private Ryan.
Mostly The Hurt Locker centers around the main character, a Lethal Weapon type bomb expert stationed in Iraq after a tour in Afghanistan during which he disabled over 800 road side bombs. He marches on in nearly suicidally and takes on every variation of explosive imaginable. This is a cinematic gem; you won't want it to end. When it ends, you'll be all like, man, it's over, now what.
Fantastic movie making. Entertainment, pure entertainment.

Whilst not a bad film, I was severely disappointed with The Hurt Locker. In the UK, Empire magazine rated this a 5 Star movie, normally a sign of a quality product. But for once I feel mislead. Having watched and thoroughly enjoyed the television mini series Generation Kill, I felt that no new ground was being broken in this film. I'd expected it to be more tense, to be more visually arresting but I found myself completely uninvolved in the story, even when you're being thrown the red herring about the death of Beckham. Maybe that says more about me than the movie, but with the exception of Jeremy Renner I can find nothing to recommend this movie.
caught the first matinée of : the hurt locker
as a maker, an artist, a writer, a poet, a musician
the easiest part is starting : the hard part is carrying the work : rare as hens teeth is ending it... right
the hurt locker was as good as it gets : everything top to bottom
script : production : direction : camera : actors : editing
everything was dialed in and... perfect
except for the **cking ending : damn it...
it was in the directors hands : like all people who do not know where the ending is : she went to far
it was wrapped with a nice satin ribbon and Hollywood bow tie : *hit
the end is the 4rd scene from the end : grocery shopping
camera pans down the cereal isle one way : pans the other : cut to black : end of film
see : i called it a film, not a movie : but, it got movie-ized
the superb lines from the 3rd to last scene:
sergeant james talking to his baby boy (paraphrased) "As you get older, the things you love fall away. Maybe there's just 2 left, for me, it's one."
those lines don't have to be lost and shouldn't
move those lines earlier : stage a mano e mano scene between Sargent James and Spec JT Sandborn
THEN, later, the 4th scene before the end when JT says "Nobody cares about me. I want a son."
the power of that moment would go off the charts
plus, you'd have your superior: robotic : over-saturated : vacant : empty : material world moment in the grocery isle
cut to black : end of film
a 10 rating

There's no story, no heroic plot to Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker.
There's no search for prisoners, no tracking of a villain, no hostages
to rescue, no hill to liberate, or town to capture, or even a search
for looted gold. There's not even an overarching allegory of life or
war built into the theme of the movie. Despite this lack of war movie
plots The Hurt Locker is still compelling with the only goal of the
characters, is to stay alive.
The Hurt Locker follows the lives of a team of EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) unit members, Sergeant First Class Will James (Jeremy Renner), Sergeant JT Sanborn (Anthony Mackie), and Specialist Eldridge (Brian Gerahty) as they finish the last five weeks of their deployment in Iraq. Their job in Iraq is to defuse IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices) and after their first Sergeant (Guy Pearce) is killed Staff Sergeant William James is assigned to the unit. Sanborn and Eldridge discover that James takes more risks in the field than their previous Sergeant and is addicted to the adrenaline surge of war which is putting them at risk. They find themselves in the position of finding out if they can live (literally) with James' approach to the job.
Kathryn Bigelow's direction isn't heavy handed and neither does she use a heavy hand in imparting themes or other usual theatrical devices. The Hurt Locker is a very naturalistic representation of the Iraq war zone. While it touches on aspects of war that other movies have, such as the surreal aspect of war that Apocalypse Now illustrates or the dual nature of war that's found in Platoon, she lets them exist as a natural part of the world the characters find themselves in. This low key, naturalistic approach is also evident in the actor's portrayal of their characters. There's no big emotional blow ups between them, no huge revelations of a characters' back stories to pull on your heartstrings. The film highlights just what occurs naturally from the job they're there to do. The movie also doesn't take a political stance on the war. It's neither anti-war nor pro-war. It puts the viewer in the situation with the characters and you're free to feel or have whatever reaction the events stimulate in you. Bigelow even sparingly uses a soundtrack. It's more of a tense buzzing that keeps us feeling a little uneasy, as must soldiers in the field feel.
The Hurt Locker was written by Mark Boal who had been an embedded reporter with an OED unit in Iraq in 2004. While the story is fictionalized, many of the events shown were based on actual events Boal either witnessed or heard about from soldiers in the field.
Bonus Features: The Hurt Locker DVD has a small bonus feature section that includes an audio commentary that I found a bit lackluster, but I thought was more than compensated for with an image gallery section that includes a Q and A session from the Institute of Contemporary Art in London. And there is a behind the scenes documentary that I found myself wishing there was more of.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Now a days it seems very hard to make a tense and smart action-thriller. I am here to declare that The Hurt Locker manages to do that and more. The story is fresh, and the action builds up so tensely you forget you're watching a movie. The story is so involving that you forget the movie is two hours and ten minutes because you're sucked in so much. The story is about a group of army men, who upon having their last bomb disarmer killed in a bomb accident, hires a new one. The one they hire is named William James (Jeremy Renner, turning in a fantastic performance.) He does things his own way, much to the dislike of the leader, JT Sanborn. It starts to become intense being in the moment not knowing if William is making the right decision, or if JT is making the right decision. The fact that a lot of these bombs are seemingly impossible to disarm makes you on the edge of your seat. This movie has as much, if not more authentic thrills and chills as any horror movie, thriller, or action film of at least the past 15 years. This is by far my favorite film of the year so far, and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you do not go see it as fast as you can.
"War is a drug," declares the caption on the opening scene of Kathryn
Bigelow's masterpiece "The Hurt Locker", and this phrase (written by an
American soldier in Iraq corresponding with the New York Times), in its
four-word simplicity, summarizes perfectly and shockingly the premise
behind this astounding film. Bigelow has gone beyond her trademark film
"Near End", and has given us an even deeper and infinitely more
intelligent film. Simply stated, "The Hurt Locker" is THE film about
the Iraq war we've all been waiting for.
The film follows Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner, in a possible Academy Award-winning performance) who specializes in defusing bombs as he completes his mission period in Iraq, walking alongside his two specialist companions (Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty) in a hostile land where everyone is an enemy and where everything might be a bomb. Unlike his fellow teammates who go about their dangerous jobs with caution and with a terrifying proximity to death, James pursues his missions with such excitement; with such charisma and with such longing that we begin to understand how the soldier who said "war is a drug" was right. James craves the excitement and the sense of self-importance defusing bombs gives him, and he's THE best at doing it. He's untroubled by the danger; on the contrary, that's what makes his job all the more likable. But even though at first he seems like your typical savage-boy war hero, little by little he begins unveiling a deep and shockingly poignant personality, which he doesn't express through words but through his actions and facial expressions. This is a tough guy who's battling demons within himself and who's torn between life and excitement. This is a character unlike any you've ever seen before.
The film paints a painful, eye-opening and crude portrait of the war on Iraq. We see children used as body bombs, honest civilians used as suicide bombers, we see people gather around the place where James is trying to defuse a bomb against the clock, the faces of women and children expectant and entertained by the violence. We see a country torn by war to its very core; we see simply humans trying to survive with no hope whatsoever and no dreams to uphold. The action sequences are driven by an unbearable tension which makes you gasp in pain; this is definitely THE most suspenseful and tense film of the year. Bigelow has demonstrated in past films that she's an expert at creating tension by submerging her characters in difficult situations and stressing their sanity; with this new film, she turns this on to a sky-high level, not only putting the characters' sanity at stake but wrecking the audience's nerves. The film is violent, but not so much as other war films, and the horror and suspense is gathered from the drama unfolding between the characters. From the first sequence to the last, we find ourselves riveted to our seats, not able to believe our eyes.
The cinematography is excellent, it's fast and cuts to different scenes madly, taking in the entire environment and every single character on screen giving us a million different points of view and a sense of knowledge of the surroundings. The editing is savagely effective, and never does a scene linger too much or switches too fast- it's always precisely in tune with the emotions and the drama. The score is a cacophony of war sounds which heightens the tension even more and, like I said before, there will be moments when you'll believe you'll die from holding your breath so long. Add a pitch-perfect story written by Mark Boal (who also wrote "In the Valley of Ellah", another movie based on the Iraq war), and you've got yourself the best picture of the year! The film really has no flaws, and at two hours long it doesn't have a single uninvolving second. Bigelow has taken a intelligent and effective war story, added art and controversy, mixed in exorbitant levels of suspense and therefore created a true masterpiece which will be remembered among the best war films ever made. See it if you know what's good for you! Rating: 4 stars out of 4!!
This was clearly one of the best films of 2009. There is simply no dead time in the movie. I don't mean to say that every moment is action packed, but rather that every moment helps move the story along or develop the characters. There are some moments of outstanding direction, such as when desert flies land on the lead while he is trying to hold still and maintain discipline during an exchange of sniper fire. Another stand-out scene is the direction when the team enters a recently abandoned bomb factory. Perhaps most importantly, the film creates the impression that anything could happen, and this is largely done by the choices made during direction, which heighten the feeling of volatility surrounding the nature of the team's assignments.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
"The rush of battle is a potent and often lethal addiction, for war is
a drug." The Hurt Locker is about the soldiers involved in the Iraq
war. Thompson is a bomb disposal expert and he gets killed during a
mission to dispose a bomb. Then Sergeant First Class William Jones
takes over Thompson's job and he becomes the team leader of the EOD
unit. He has Sergeant JT Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge in his
team. Will is kind of a free spirit who doesn't give a damn about his
life, this is what Sanborn thinks about him and is weary of Will. Owen
is a newbie and he is very scared for his life every moment of everyday
that he is out there outside his camp, he doesn't want to die. But
theoretically, everything out there could be a bomb meant for them to
die and they have to survive. 'War is really hell on earth' is what
these young soldiers will learn on their journey.
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, this film is a very great character study of the soldiers in Iraq rather than just another mediocre war movie. This made me feel sad both for the USA soldiers, the children struck in Iraq and also some good Iraq people. They are just stuck in somebody's war and live in fear most of the time. The film has many moments and dialogues which bring a smile on the face, but beneath it all you can still feel the gloom the war brings. Will knows that he lives for the adrenaline rush that only a war can bring. Without it, in the real world back in America with his family, he feels like a nobody and he wants that rush of adrenaline. Sanborn and Owen are very angry over Will's 'devil may care' attitude because he is also putting their lives in danger. There is a scene with snipers in the hot desert and it is very heart breaking to see them suffer. Also the scene in the shower is very good. William, even though he has a lethal addiction to war, is a very sympathizable character. The little Iraqi boy, Beckham, I liked him a lot. When he becomes a human bomb, I cried for him, the pain in Will seeing him dead like that overpowered me and I just couldn't stop myself. I have seen loads of deaths of kids and people in movies, but never have I been this affected by a war film. I cared so much for the characters. The movie gives an insight into the everyday life in Iraq and its very agonizing to see what they do. All of them have just over a month to survive in Iraq, before they can come back to America and new recruits are brought over for one more year so that the whole cycle repeats itself.
William Jones, Sanborn & Owen Eldridge give very good performances in the film. And how could I forget one of my favourite actress Evangeline Lilly (Lost, the TV series) who plays Connie James, wife of William James. She gives a highly believable performance as the hurting wife of Will. She just wants him to stay with the family, while he thirsts for war. This isn't like all those other war movies which just wants us to say "look at those soldiers suffering, I want to help." This is an intense film and is made with a lot of passion. You will have to decide for yourself, what moves you in this film.
I went to see Clash Of The Titans and couldn't get tickets, so I went for this and am I glad I did. I think it deserved all those 6 Oscars that it got. I didn't know before this that no woman director had won, how sad, but I am very happy she won. But, this a film which will be always remembered as the film which resulted in the first Oscar for a woman director. Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker is a winner all the way. Go and see it if you still haven't seen it. The dialogues, camera-work, setting and everything is made to perfection.
P.S: I can't believe how hot Kathryn Bigelow is:) Me & my mom thought she was only 34-38 when we first saw her in the BAFTA Awards on TV and we wondered why James and her separated. Also she is thrice my age and I have the hots for her!! Why James Cameron would divorce her, I don't know. Don't you agree?
I love watching movies and I know when a movie sucks or not. The camera work in this movie seems amateurish, it's wobbly most of the time. The dialog delivery it seems is being read directly from the script. I thought this is a war movie, but not really. While watching it on the first five minutes of the movie, I could swear this was meant as a TV movie. For a movie fanatic like me, I never made it past the first thirty minutes of this movie, it's that boring. The only big deal I can see on this movie is, the director is James Cameron's Ex. Seeing this movie winning a lot of categories proves that, Politics also lurks in the Oscars. Let's get an honest opinion, did you guys really liked this movie?

If there were top contenders screaming for a fight and worthy of a fight, the belt would have to be dropped. Seeing how nobody is really ready to step up, considering this will be the first of hopefully 3 fights next year, he may aswell hold on to the belt and take the fight.
Who is out there who deserves and really wants the fight? Who is out there trying to force the fight?
I'm not defending this fight, Alex Leapai doesn't deserve to be in the ring fighting for The Heavyweight title, but who else is there? Wlad has just beat the highest ranked heavyweight outside of his family.

For years people (myself included) were clamoring for someone to unify the division and for all intents and purposes, Wlad has done that. He's got the WBO, WBA, IBF, IBO and Ring belts; and will make a run for the WBC belt once his brother retires.
In the late 90's to early-mid 2000's you had multiple titlists holding a piece of the hw crown. Ruiz, Valuev, Byrd, Brewster, et al frequently defended their titles, lost them only to regain them again. There was no 'real' hw champion and it really was a f*ckin' mess. With Wlad at least you have some certainty and clarity that he's the man or the real champ albeit however boring his fights can be.
Wlad isn't gonna drop the title; it means too much to him to be the 'unified hw champion.
That said, this title defense against Lepeai is f*ckin' weak. It seems like Wlad has avoided his IBF#1 mandatory Pulev to some degree. We'll see how it shakes out this year. If he fight Lepeai and then Pulev then I'll give him a pass.

Topic: Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Time to Plant Blue Grama Seeds in Spring Branch, Texas
Answered by: Mike Tomme
QUESTION:We would like to plant Blue Grama grass seeds but due to the hot weather with no rain here in central Texas, can we wait until September or even October to plant grass seeds? Thank you
You are wise to avoid planting during the hottest months. Here is a quote from a Wildflower Center how to article on native lawns: "Early spring is the best sowing time once soil temperatures pick-up. Later in the growing season will work but takes more water. Avoid mid-summer and winter."
Since Bouteloua gracilis (Blue grama) normally produces seed from June through November so September or October would be a good time to plant seeds. However, early spring is even better because there will be a period of mild temperatures and (hopefully) rainfall to give the seeds a chance to get established before the summer heat and dryness.
A word of caution, according to the USDA County Distribution of blue grama, Spring Branch is a little east of it's normal range. It's worth a try though.

Biological circuits with memory created
Cambridge, Mass. (UPI) Feb 11, 2013
U.S. researchers say they've created synthetic biological circuits from bacterial cells that not only perform logic functions but also remember the results. Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say the results of the functions are encoded in the cell's DNA and passed on for dozens of generations. Synthetic biologists said they use interchangeable genetic parts to design circuits that perform a specific function, and such circuits could be used as long-term environmenta ... read more

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa — Donald Trump declared Tuesday he would boycott the last Republican debate before the Iowa caucuses, leading Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to challenge him to a one-on-one debate. Adding intrigue to the Democratic race, the White House said President Barack Obama would host Bernie Sanders for an Oval Office meeting.
CELINA, Ohio — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama frantically sought to close the deal with voters with precious few days left in an incredibly close race as this year's October surprise — an unprecedented storm menacing the East Coast — wreaked havoc on their best-laid plans.
Ever mindful of his narrow path to the requisite 270 electoral votes, Romney looked to expand his map, weighing an intensified effort in traditionally left-leaning Minnesota. Obama sought to defend historically Democratic turf as the race tightened heading into the final week.

It's with these challenges in mind that we've created Best Comic Books Ever (This Week), an ongoing guide curated by the ComicsAlliance staff. This is where new comics readers and seasoned Wednesday shoppers alike can find our picks of the best books the medium has to offer.

Morgan Brian
Oct. 1, 2013
CHARLOTTESVILLE - Virginia junior midfielder Morgan Brian (St. Simons Island, Ga.) received her third call-up to United States Women's National Team as U.S. Soccer announced the roster for its upcoming camp Tuesday. Brian will be on the roster for the Oct. 20 friendly against Australia at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Brian has made two appearances for the USWNT this year. She made her debut on June 15 against South Korea in Foxboro, Mass., and scored her first international goal during the 7-0 victory over Mexico on Sept. 3 in Washington, D.C.
Brian was one of two collegiate players named to the roster for the Oct. 20 game, along with Crystal Dunn of North Carolina. Both players will miss the Virginia-North Carolina game that afternoon in Chapel Hill. They will return to their collegiate teams following the Australia game and will not be on the USWNT roster for friendlies against New Zealand on Oct. 27 and Oct. 30.
"I'm grateful that we were able to work with Anson Dorrance at UNC and Steve Swanson at Virginia to enable Crystal and Morgan to come in for the match," said USWNT head coach Tom Sermanni. "They are both talented young players and these kind of opportunities are extremely valuable for them. I know the colleges have a big game against each other and I really appreciate Anson and Steve's continuing support of the U.S. National Team programs."
For Virginia, Brian ranks second on the team and second in the ACC with 22 points on six goals and a league-high eight assists this season.
The top-ranked Cavaliers (11-0, 5-0 ACC) return to action Sunday as they host Clemson (6-2-3, 3-1-1 ACC). Game time at Klöckner Stadium is 2 p.m.

Gabby Reece: "It's All About Perspective & Balance"
Model, legendary volleyball player, mother of three, Web site creator of thehoneyline.com, Gabrielle Reece shares her health and wellness secrets – and it's not all about the fitness!
From the glossy pages of fashion magazines, to the trenches of real-life motherhood, Gabrielle Reece somehow balances it all. Model mom to three adorable girls, Reece, 5 ½, Brody, 1, and 13 ½ -year-old stepdaughter Bela, Gabby sat down for an exclusive interview with Celebrity Baby Scoop.
The 39-year-old legendary athlete opened up about her Web site HoneyLine, her positive outlook on life and how she would rather discuss a holistic approach to health rather than the "same old fitness questions." Gabby talks candidly about her positive approaches to parenting, life with professional big-wave surfer husband Laird Hamilton, how being a stepmom has made her a better mom, what it's like living with the paparazzi, and how she wants to help shatter the myths that all women and mothers are supposed to be perfect and have it all figured out.

Jennifer Lopez Was "Really Nervous" To Return To Work
After taking time off from movie-making to focus on being a new mom to twins Max and Emme, now 15 months, Jennifer Lopez admits she was nervous to return to work.
"The few days before I got really nervous I was like, what if I forgot how to act? What if I can't remember my lines?" she tells Entertainment Tonight.
Turns out she didn't have anything to worry about. Jennifer, who is currently shooting The Back-Up Plan, now says that the transition to being a working mom was pretty painless.
"I bring the babies to work with me. I love it. Actually, one of the best days of my life was the first day back working on this film. I wanted to do this film really badly, and bringing my babies with me that morning, I was like, 'Oh my God, they're with me, I'm making a movie, they're here!' It's great having kids on set. It's the best."

Doña Lea-Johnson's comment, February 20, 2013 10:36 AM
I was born at Tohatchi, New Mexico and raised at Leupp, Arizona. My skin is white but I am no sister to this fool McCain. He needs to be striped of all his power. As has always been in this country there is no thought or love for anything or anyone but the big business. I believe if we look this fool has his greedy hands in these plants so he can make even more money that he doesn't need. Put wind turbines and solar power harms no one. I shed many tears for the people who were my family there on that reservation. I am sorry for what these white fools do.

Comments about 'Obama to Congress: Return my jobs bill, passed'

Kearns, UT
The "jobs" bill is not designed to create jobs, its designed for political gain. Governnment can make, or break, the conditions that encourage job creation, but can't create jobs. Money taken to make government jobs takes away from money that could create jobs elsewhere.

Former London mayor snaps up six bed seaside house which featured in the French Lieutenant's Woman with Meryl Streep (and for £3m he's got stunning views of 26 miles of coast too)
- Put on the market by Minnie Churchill, the granddaughter-in-law of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill
- It has been sold to former Lord Mayor of London Sir Roger Gifford - the 685th mayor elected to the ceremonial post
- Set in 17 acres with four reception rooms, six bathrooms, a library, a stable courtyard - and a croquet lawn
- The Regency home featured in the 1981 movie as the home of Meryl Streep's troubled character
- Once had its breathtaking views of the Dorset coastline compared to those of the Cote d'Azur
The seaside house immortalised in the classic film The French Lieutenant's Woman has been sold to the former Lord Mayor of London, Sir Roger Gifford.
Ware House, which is situated on 17 acres of sprawling land, boasts some of the most stunning views in Britain - looking out over 26 miles of coastline, with not a single property in sight.
The six-bed Regency house in Lyme Regis, Dorset, featured in the 1981 movie as the home of Meryl Streep's troubled character.
It was put on the market last year by owner Minnie Churchill, the granddaughter-in-law of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Secluded: Miss Churchill and her partner Simon Bird bought the 200-year-old home in 1999 but are moving to Berkshire to be near her children and grandchildren
Grand: The property's sumptuous dining room is decorated in rich red fabrics. It is featured in the 1981 movie as the home of Meryl Streep's troubled character Sarah
Period charm: Features such as the exposed fire place and the light and spacious living area bring warmth to the impressive home, which is situated on 17 acres of land
Miss Churchill and her partner Simon Bird bought the 200-year-old home in 1999 but are now selling and moving to Berkshire to be near her children and grandchildren.
Sir Roger and Lady Gifford are believed to have paid almost £3millon for the stunning property.
The Lord Mayor is elected annually as head of the City of London Corporation and former banker Sir Roger became the 685th person elected to the role between 2012 and 2013. It's different to the Mayor of London's role. Currently Boris Johnson, he leads the Greater London Authority (GLA) and is responsible for the strategic governance of Greater London.
Ware House boasts four reception rooms, six bathrooms, a library and well-maintained gardens. It also has two cottages within the grounds, a stable courtyard and croquet lawn.
The house is surrounded by well-kept lawns and flourishing gardens - and is just a short walk from the picturesque town of Lyme Regis.
But the property's main attraction is the
unbroken views of the Jurrasic Coast - a World Heritage Site - across to the Isle of
Portland, with nothing in the way to blot the landscape.
Martin Lamb, of estate agents Savills, said: 'The house sits to the west of Lyme Regis and faces the south east, which means it looks down on 26 miles of coastline.
Natural beauty: Breathtaking views of the Jurrasic Coast - a World Heritage Site - across to the Isle of Portland, with nothing in the way to blot the landscape
Elegant: One of Ware House's four reception rooms. Miss Churchill said that she is very sad to be leaving but is happy the house is going to a lovely family
Country retreat: A well-kept lawn stretches out in front of the spacious home. It also has two cottages, a stable courtyard and croquet lawn
'A French visitor to Ware House once compared the view to the Cote d'Azur to which Minnie Churchill is said to have replied that you can sea wall-to-wall villas on the hillside of the Cote d-Azor whereas you can't see a single house along the coast from the house.
'It has to be one of the best views in the country and it is a beautiful location.'
The impressive property was featured as the main house in the French Lieutenant's Woman - a film based on a novel by John Fowles that was later adapted for the screen by playwright Harold Pinter.
It tells the story of two affairs in parallel. One brings to life the doomed Victorian love story imagined by Fowles, and the other takes place between two actors on location - filming the French Lieutenant's Wife.
Peace and quiet: Ware House is surrounded by a series of well-kept lawns and flourishing gardens. It is just a short walk from the picturesque town of Lyme Regis
Hollywood home: Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons in the French Lieutenant's Wife, which was filmed at Ware House and the property's new owner Sir Roger Gifford
Shooting for the film took place on location in Lyme Regis, where the streets and buildings were carefully transformed into the Lyme Regis of 1867 - when the Victorian part of the film is set.
The intriguing film was nominated for five Academy Awards and won Streep a BAFTA for best actress.
Sir Roger, who was Lord Mayor of London from 2012 to 2013, is ready to make the iconic house his home.
The former banker has a main home in Scotland and it is thought will use the seaside retreat as a second property.
Speaking on selling the property, Miss Churchill said: 'We are very sad to be leaving but are happy the house is going to a lovely family.
'They have a home in Scotland which is where he is from and he is very keen on his Scottish roots.'
Mr Bird said: 'We have been in Lyme Regis for 15 years and think West Dorset is the most wonderful area in the county.
'However it's now time to move on and we will be officially moving out at the end of this month.'

GSK has been fined for paying money to generic drug companies to prevent the potential entry of generic alternatives to its own "blockbuster" anti-depressant.
GlaxoSmithKline's so-called pay-to-delay agreements were found to have delayed the launch of generic alternatives to its anti-depressant Seroxat.
This potentially deprived the NHS from "significant price falls", the Competition and Markets Authority said.
In 2001, Generics (UK), Limited (GUK) and Alphapharma Limited (Alpharma) were readying a generic version of a paroxetine, which is used to treat depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety disorders.
The Competition and Markets Authority said that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) agreed to make payments and other transfers worth more than £50 million to suppliers of generic paroxetine, which would have been in competition with its own branded Seroxat.
Seroxat was a "blockbuster" product, the CMA said. In the UK, 4.2 million prescriptions were issued for Seroxat in 2000 and Seroxat sales exceeded £90 million in 2001. At the time GSK held certain patents in relation to paroxetine.

When a generic version of paroxetine did enter the market in 2003, the price of the drug dropped by over 70 per cent in two years.
The CMA found that GSK's agreements with each of GUK and Alpharma infringed the competition law prohibition on anti-competitive agreements. It has imposed a fine of £37 million on GSK.
Generic drug companies involved were also fined smaller amounts, bringing the total fines to £45 million.
GSK said it strongly disagreed and argued its actions had actually brought down the cost of medicine for the state-run health service. The drugmaker added it was considering grounds for appeal.

Ever since Allforthemountain launched its monthly Venice Bazaar in July, we've been waiting eagerly for the shopping extravaganza's return. Well, mama was right when she told us patience pays off — because tomorrow's installment includes a bevy of our fave local labels. We can barely wait another minute to sift through this stellar selection!
With a mix of new and pre-loved goods, we suggest you get there early for first dibs on vintage wares from New/Found and The Lower Lodge. R29 fave Elkin will also be on hand with killer frocks, and Scout will be selling its silk scarves (a collab with fellow vendor, Prism of Threads!). Of course, Allforthemountain will offer up its signature far-out jewelry, and we're anxious to see what Carrie Hoffman and Christi Jay bring to the table.
So, hit up Sunny Spot for some seriously delicious weekend brunch, then mosey on over to this can't-miss event. Looks like your Saturday plans are taken care of. You're welcome!
When: Saturday, August 25, 3 to 8 p.m.
Where: Allforthemountain, 2118 Lincoln Boulevard (near Venezia Avenue); no phone.
