Karla Homolka, one of Canada’s best known serial killers, has been released from prison after serving twelve years for participating in the rapes and murders of 15-year-old Kristen French and 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy in the early 90s.

Spent the weekend watching back to back DVDs of John Le Carre's "Tinker,Tailor,Soldier,Spy" & "Smiley's People", both starring the Great Sir Alec Guinness. I had not seen either in quite awhile and thought I would rent both to see again. What a tour de force for Guinness playing British Master Spy George Smiley. This really is what good drama is and I was on the edge of my seat watching both of these as Smiley is tracking his Arch Nemesis Karla of Moscow Center.
