Films watched lately

I've watched a few good things lately - Cinderella with Cate Blanchett, Richard Madden and Lily James was heart-warming, Song One with Anne Hathaway had some lovely urban folk music, Testament of Youth was heartbreaking, Flight of the Doves was seventies vintage with Jack Wild, Lake House with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reaves was intriguing, plus the recent Lady Chatterley's Lover with Holliday Grainger and Richard Madden, which was good and tastefully done.

I have to confess that I haven't seen any of these films, though I was certainly tempted by Cinderella when it came out (I had been curious what you might think of it at the time) and I just read an article on Lady Chatterley's Lover and hope I'll get a chance to see it.

I was wondering if the Cinderella would be good. Nice to hear good things. I love the Lake House. It's funny, I always forget that they were in Speed together. I liked the filming of Lady Chatterley's Lover, but even though I liked both the actor and actress in it, it just didn't work for me. I don't know whether I'm just too attached to the Sean Bean version, or what. The filming was lovely though.

I loved Cinderella, totally forgot about that coming out on DVD. I may just have to buy it. :)

Thanks for the rec of Song one, I had never heard of it! I just stuck it in my queue.

When you say Testament of Youth was heart breaking, does that mean it has a sad ending? I hate sad endings. :(

I remember Lake House! I have it in my DVD collection and really should rewatch it ...

Lovely to hear from you! I know I owe you a reply, but RL seems to have exploded in the last couple of weeks and now with fall here I'll have more yard work. It never ends! :P Right now I'm actually looking forward to winter! LOL
