What Swanky Things are you Watching?

I also saw "The Aviator" last night. I thought that Leonardo did a very good job, as did Cate Blanchett, who really nailed the Katherine Hepburn thing. Alan Alda was a pleasant surprise as well. Overall, it was an enjoyable movie, although quite bitersweet. Still, I don't think it should get Best Picture. I found "Finding Neverland" to be far superior.

As far as swanky goes, we watched "Charade" last night, with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. What a wonderful movie that I had overlooked. The Mancini score is ultra-swanky and I just loved everything about this film.

My husband likes A Mighty Wind more than Show or Guffman, but he loves them all. I think he likes the irony of A Mighty Wind....the return of Spinal Tap in a way, I guess.

I LOVE Guffman and Show equally I think--Guffman because of the characters and Corky and the story, and Show because the characters played by the same actors are so different....shows their range. I mean I just LOVE them. I think they're both flawlesss!! The humor and character actors are right up my alley.

We watched North By Northwest last night. Loved it! I grew up with the movie--it was one of my dad's favorites, but I hadn't seen it in probably 15 years. It was like the return of an old friend!

The movies I have sitting here are:

The Women
Bringing up Baby
The Philadelphia Story
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Psycho
Citizen Kane
Schindler's List

My goal this week is to get to all of them (want to watch Philadelphia Story and Psycho tonight....there's a combo for ya).....I hope I do, but I probably won't. Too much to do this week.

But here's to hoping!!!

Now they probably didn't de-stem, hoping for some semblance of concentration, crushed it up with leaves and mice, and then wound up with this rancid tar and turpentine bull**. Fin' Raid. Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
