For Your Consideration - I had a private screening of this, get along and see it people! The cinema should not be empty, it is a great lil film! Although, maybe it's only us crazy thespian types who truly appreciate it? Anyway, any film that starts off with a character watching the wonderful Jezabel with Bette Davis already earns a few gold stars from me!
Very, very funny too and Catherine O'Hara is just great, have always liked her.
Truest quote: "Inside every actor lives a pig, a tiger, an ass and a nightengale. You never know which is going to show up."
Funniest quote: Tied between the joke about blind prostitutes and "I'm a gentile, look at my foreskin!"
Then because I was bored and didn't feel like going home to sit all by my lonesome, I went and saw Music and Lyrics with Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. I don't mind Drew, I think she's quite sweet and a lot more real than most of the other celebs out there. Hugh Grant on the other hand, I've always thought comes across as a smarmy git!
Anyway, while the middleaged women behind me were practically in hysterics over the smallest things, I only managed a few chuckles here and there. By no means is this great cinema, and I don't buy Drew and Hugh (hehe that rhymes!) as a couple, but it's an ok chick flick, and it did what I wanted it to - passed some time. Stunning red dress though. Me want!
Am looking forward to seeing Notes on a Scandal, which opens tomorrow. I love Judi Dench, and as much as I adore her films where she plays dotty old ladies, it should be a nice change to see her in a juicier role.

I am no thespian but really enjoyed For Your ...
And agree, Music and Lyrics sadly lacking. But don't agree about Hugh. Have you not seen Notting Hill or 4 Weddings? He's so funny and sweet in those movies.
