Lots of delightful quirkiness there--plus the musical numbers are hilarious :). Can't wait for Castle to start!!<br /><br />Robin~Bride & Prejudice is pretty funny--I think you'd enjoy it :).

We've been rewatching Deadwood and drooling over the characterization and dialogue, and with the new season of TV coming up, it's hard to find time in between Glee and Castle and all of those other scrumptious offerings!Pamela Caynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174668344756269618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-82594988725037492842009-09-10T10:00:35.243-05:002009-09-10T10:00:35.243-05:00Sandra~thanks for the advice on *both* films!

I was forced into watching the guinea pig movie also...and that one with the aliens in the attic so, unfortunately (!!), I know just what you mean about "slime."<br /><br />T U~oh, yes! I *loved* "Lost in Austen"! I saw it first on YouTube and, then, just gave in and bought it.

A bike scene or something like that. <br /><br />I don't have anything further to contribute to the adult recommendation list (I just saw State of Play too) because all my summer movies were geared towards my relentless nine-year old, who wanted to see SHORTS or the guinea pig movie or anything else where people got slimed a lot. lol.

Yep, mu...Hubby and I were couch slugs this weekend. Yep, much to do but totally not motivated. We don't get many week-ends off so I'll enjoy it without guilt, thank you very much. <br /><br />Two films to comment on: Crossing Over with Harrison Ford and others. Built around ICE or Immigrations Custom Enforcement. The film was fragmented and while it tied up all the ends there was so much misery -- okay, it's real life -- that I was left feeling terrible flat.<br /><br />State of Play: Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. This was a great film. A little 'deep throat' in the modern times, but exceptional well done. Female lead: Helen Mirren is new for me. She's cute and holds up well against Russell Crowe, which can't be easy. Absolutely worth the two hours.K.M.

Plus, we get the handsome Martin Henderson as Darcy...<br /><br />hmsgofita (Heather?)~With your Mormon background, I'm so glad YOU liked it! I thought the writer and director treated the religious aspect very respectfully, but a thumbs-up from you carries more weight than it would from me (since I'm Catholic :).

I thought it was hilarious! So glad you were able to watch it and enjoy it. I also enjoyed 17 Again.
