Recently I had the chance to watch the Charles Darwin biopic Creation, starring Paul Bettany (A Knight’s Tale, The Da Vinci Code) and Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, Requiem for a Dream).

With that in mind, this will be the first of (hopefully) many trip reports/reviews that I plan to provide!
