I have been indulging in a movie binge. I have rented 9 videos in the last week.I started with silly romantic comedies, both french and american. And the winner is……..
“Something’s got to give” with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson. A middle age love affair…in a beach side setting…It is refreshing to see an older woman cast as sexy and fun loving. Even Nicholson seems to inhabit his character, rather than his usual detached style.
A second prize for “Tanguy” about a yound man who will not leave home, and his parents who are determined to push him out of the nest. But he is so nice and compliant it is hard to fault him…some humorous dialogue.
Tonight on the menu: “Calendar girls” about some mature gals who decide to put together a girlie calendar to raise money for a good cause…
Next week I tackle heavier stuff, starting with “Bowling for Columbine”. I am curious to see what will happen to his latest movie “Farenheit 9/11, it could be a test case for freedom of speech. I have also heard of a Canadian documentary called “The Corporation” in which large corporations are treated as quasi human entities and thus submitted to psycho analysis…This one I might go see in a cinema…
