I've been watching 27 Dresses this week whenever I needed some relief from the bad news. I now have the Elton John song "Benny and the Jets" stuck in my head, and have had it there for at least a couple of days!

Saw Appaloosa w/ Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen, and Renee Zeilwegger...it was okay, a bit disappointing b/c I really like all three actors. It was slow moving...
Also saw The Savages w/ Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney - again, two great actors, but it was rather depressing. The both gave great performances, but I found the movie lacking.

never seen thee or touched thee
but known thee with all of my heart.
Half a prayer, half a song,
thou hast always been with me,
though we have been always apart." Man of LaMancha

[quote=""Telynor""]Watched Miss Austen Regrets, a very interesting bio-pic compiled around the letters of Miss Austen and the marrying of her niece Fanny Knight. Great for fans of Jane Austen, and -much- better than Becoming Jane.[/quote]
Alright, this is moving up in my queue.
Started watching The Other Boleyn Girl last night. I can see why so many people dislike it. If you don't think about the book at all, it's not so bad. That particular novel would have made a better miniseries I think.
BTW has anybody seen the "other" The Other Boleyn Girl from the 1980s? Jodhi May starred in it. Netflix says there's a very long wait for it, and I'm wondering if it's any good.

The "first" "The Other Boleyn Girl" came out in 2003, not the 80s.
