For your inflight entertainment...

All the Borat hoopla going on over at Will's site reminded me I forgot to provide full and comprehensive reviews of the films I saw on the plane over to Greece...

The Devil Wears Prada: Utter drivel



The Lake House: Ridiculous. But I loved it. It made me cry into my plastic mug of wine, even though I was sat next to a total stranger.

Glad to see someone else didn't care for, "The Devil Wore Prada." Went with friends and they all were gaga over it. Yuk!

I haven't seen either, but I do love a succinct review. Well done.

Around our house, we keep referring to the Lake House as Speed 3.

I've not seen them either - now know to give the first one a miss, though, thank you for the warning. I did see Transamerica the other day (which I know is old news but I'm a dvd fan) and thought it was fab. x

Im not really into rom-com and girly movies but I actually enjoyed The Devil Wears Prada. I only went to see it because it had Prada in the title (I have thing for all things Prada related LOL) and I got into it. It's way to long for what it is and it's not the most intelligent movie, but I liked it. (The clothes!! The shoes!!)

O and I have the book :D and thats fun as well.

I always wait til movies come to the movie channels. Well, unless it's something I am DYING to see, like a Tim Burton flick :) I like what Barb said too about a succinct review! I am always afraid of giving away the story, and spoilers can really suck LOL! What is your favorite Sandra Bullock movie kees? I like The Net...it was crazy, but entertaining! Oh, and While You Were Sleeping was cute!

Hi Toccata - yuk is right!

Allison - horrid also correct. I absolutely loved The Lake House. It's such a stupid film but I couldn't help it. Glad I'm not the only one.

Oh Barb, so funny you should say that cos when they introduced it as a Sandra and Keanu film, for a split second I thought it could actually be Speed 3 and got very excited. They SHOULD do Speed 3. I'd go :D

Well dogga you will need a box of Kleenex cos it's a very moving film ;)

Yeah I nearly got Transamerica the other night anna - if you say it's good I'll get it.

I know what you mean River the clothes were the best thing about it - Anne Hathaway looked amazing. I just really didn't warm to her character - she annoyed me. And my boss is MUCH worse than Glenn Close!!! Don't know what all the fuss was about.

I am a big Sandra fan, she's great. I have to say my absolute favourite Sandra film is Miss Congeniality - I think it's such a good film!!! I mean it's got William Shatner AND Michael Caine!!! And she's brilliant in it. Closely followed by 2 Weeks Notice, she's great in that too.
