Тату

I have an idea:

Maybe someone could write up an entry all about Тату/Tatu/Taty/t.A.T.u and what their name means, how it relates to Russian, etc. There are a lot of questions about Татu, and that's fine, but instead of having them repeated over and over again, it would be good to have one place with a bunch of information.

I'd be willing to write the entry myself (as a fan of both Russian grammar and Татu) but I'm not 100% sure of my Russian abilities. If I wrote it, would people correct it? Then—if it were OK with the mods—it could be listed in the Memories section or linked to on the front page and we could refer people to that entry whenever they ask questions.

Just a thought. If people don't mind answering the same questions over and over again, it's OK with me! :)

Russian Cinema (Фильмs в Россия) Соларис и Russian Ark

I don't know where else to post Russian culture questions… If they are inapproriate, I'll stop. Also, if anyone knows of a better place to post them (on LJ) that would be greatly appreciated. On with my question:

I've heard that the George Clooney movie Solaris was based on a Russian film with the same name—Соларис?—and I'm looking for information about the movie. When was it made? Who are some of the stars? Did it get good reviews? If anyone here has seen it, what did you think?

Also, has anyone seen Russian Ark?

One last question: what's the plural of Фильм?

Cases confusion…

Which is correct:

• я россия люблю!
  
• я россию люблю
  

(I know I didn't capitalize, leave me alone). Sorry for all the posts…
