Movie reviews

Ratatouille - was wondering what to expect from a TWO HOUR kids film, but was very pleasantly surprised, considering I often have the attention span of a child, and can sometimes get a bit wriggly during a long film. But it worked.
Very sweet story about a rat with a delicate pallette, who ends up cheffing in a posh French restaurant.
And this was what I call a real children's film. No subtle - or not so subtle - adult humour, good morals and cute talking animals....even if they are rats!
(And I love the fact that I can spell ratatouille without consulting a dictionary)!

Am going again with Mum and a friend of hers who wants to see it next Monday, and I definately think I can sit through and enjoy it again.

It also inspired me to come home and bake cupcakes - the saying in the film being, "Anyone can cook!"
And surprisingly, the cupcakes turned out quite well; Colin enjoyed them anyway :)



And then there is the smash hit (in my books anyway) of 2007.
Hairspray.
What fun!
Took Mum to see it at Chartwell since she hadn't been there yet, and she was laughing out loud all the way through - something she never does over a movie.
Now, I remember loving the original with Ricky Lake (Go, Ricky!), but most unusual for remakes, this one takes the top banana.
By the way, look for Ricky at the contest.
John Travolta really stole the show with this one, and I'm not just saying that because I think he's peachy keen (although he definately is)!
Michelle Pfeiffer (now that I have to look up to spell) was also a very pleasant surprise in a very different role for her.

And the dresses!!!!!!
Yup, will definately be seeing this one again before it closes and waiting impatiently for the dvd to be released.
Ended up mod dancing around my living room last night to the soundtrack.
Utter fabulousness!
