[quote=""cw gortner""]But not as much as "The Women" with Meg Ryan and Anette Bening. The original is one of my favorite films: fast-paced, witty, stupendously cast. Last night I saw the re-make and it was just dreadful. As in, whoever produced it should be fined.[/quote]

PBS did a stage version of "The Women" for its "Stage on Screen" series a few years ago. The play is still under estate contract so it's not performed very often.

You can avoid that problem by seeing the remakes first and then watching the classics on which they were based.

Saw the new Potter movie yesterday, both my friend and I reckon it should have been cut by at least an hour! Far too much time spent at the school with not too much happening, the effects are good when they come and the action scenes are good but....far too long when hardly anything happens at all!

Re watched "Apocalypse Now Redux"....Still mesmerizing and yet very disturbing film....Robert Duvall as the Surfer, Crazy Air Cavalry Colonel...."Love the smell of Napalm in the morning" was brilliant.....So many great lines and scenes.....Outstanding Cast...

"Dave", I love this movie, but unfortunately it was on regular TV so it was edited.

Watched Fool's Gold on Saturday. It was so-so. Actress playing the bimbo was quite the scene stealer.

Watched a couple of movies recently on a plane trip, Samson and Delilah (an excellent Australian movie) and Australia (a crap Australian movie). DH was engrossed in The Reader, but everytime I glanced over all I could see were Kate Winslets breasts

I went to see the new Harry Potter film yesterday. I enjoyed it - it's a little slow to get started. The ending is quite sad, too.
