First up The Science of Sleep. Now a lot of people who read this are very arty people so chances are you will love this film. Me however....well I found it just a little too off the wall for my taste, and I didn't really click with any of the characters. It did have a certain charm about it though and like I said, I think most of my friends out there in blogland would love it.
Another take it or leave it film was Wild Hogs. I saw this last night after work because I couldn't really be bothered going home and I had been told it was very funny. And John Travolta's in it. However, he is certainly no Danny Zukko anymore, which I was disappointed to find out.
Now onto the piece de resistance; Miss Potter. I have been waiting for this film to come out for ages, because I, like most other people my generation and older, grew up reading and being read The Tales Of Beatrix Potter. Am I really the only one who had a fluffy Peter Rabbit jersey that my mummy knit for me? I think not. Jemima Puddleduck was my alltime favourite though.
Anyway, back to the film. To pinch I line from Emily Watson's character, "I found it utterly charming". I am definately going to take my mum to see this one. Partly because she'll love it, partly because I'm keen to see it again. It was touching and funny and very very sweet and most importantly not Hollywoodised at all...except maybe for the kiss on the train platform in the steam. I let that pass because that's on my list of Hollywood moments I wish to recreate one day!
Renee Zellweger however annoys me a great deal. And mwahahaha! I caught her 'acting' in the film a couple of times. Tut tut. Emily Watson on the other hand I love and I would have been much happier with her as Beatrix. But Renee was also an executive producer, so no chance of that happening.
The girl who played young Beatrix deserves a special mention too, because i thought she was extremely good. Very sweet.
Oh yes, and Ewan McGregor. Well I wouldn't kick him outta bed!
So, now I just have to see The Good German, tomorrow perhaps and I'll be all caught up! Well at least until Thursday when a new lot of films comes out!
