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 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 was predisposed to like both Cinderella and Lady Chatterley's Lover because I like Richard Madden! There are also some darling mice in Cinderella and Helena Bonham-Carter doing a H B-C Fairy Godmother to recommend it. I'd been meaning to see the Lake House for so long, but I didn't want to see just an ordinary love story, so I was pleased with the unusual story with two well-matched protagonists. It's one I'll watch again, though I'd like to know what happens to the dog.
