I went to see It's Complicated a couple of weeks ago... I don't know what I was expecting but it was great. I laughed out loud more than once. I love Alec Baldwin -- he's so funny and he and Meryl Streep had great chemistry together. I also liked John Krushinski (I have probably screwed up his last name) but I thought Steve Martin was rather weak. I don't know if it was his performance or his character... anyhow it was great and I could see myself buying the DVD when it comes out.
I am also just loving the 31 days of Oscar over on TCM Movies. I love this channel -- all the time but this is my favourite month I think. They show all the great movies -- this month I watched The Guns of Navarone, Love Me or Leave Me (the two leads Cagney and Day make the movie - I think the script is more of a melodrama) and tonight I am going to watch The Man Who Killed Liberty Valance with Jimmy Stewart who said that this was one of his favourite movies...I taped Hud with Paul Newman and Patricia Neal but I haven't watched it yet.
Have been reading "Nobody's Perfect" a biography of sorts from Charlotte Chandler on Billy Wilder... it has been very interesting and it's easy to read.. Wilder discussed his films with Chandler and she spoke to some of the stars of his movies as well as some of his collaborators... some of Wilder's classics include: Sunset Boulevard, Stalag 17, Some Like It Hot and the Apartment -- Wilder also wrote the majority of his own screenplays and co-wrote Ninotchka with Greta Garbo which I also watched this month...
Next month the Oscars -- are the winners set in stone .. I hope not :)
