All the pretty ladies----

----in so-so films. Finally got back to do comments:

Hope Floats (1998) Sandra Bullock, Harry Connick, Jr. Returning to hometown after breakup of marriage, woman and her little girl try to fit in to small town life. Best segment; Sandra and Harry's boot-scooting dance at the saloon. Mildly entertaining. 6/10

I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007) Michelle Pfeiffer, Paul Rudd. Older woman (beautiful Michelle) falls for younger man (Rudd). Well, I didn't believe it, so.... 7/10

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem. Another Woody Allen fantasy of a European man just going up to American women and asking them to go away for a weekend of sex -and they do! After all they're in Barcelona! And Europeans are so open. So they go off to some retreat. So he has the two American babes to bang - but this guy also has his ex-wife show up to get in on the action. See, he's a real macho man - a dude! Leaves 'um all panting formore. And then? One American gal goes back to her fiancée and gets married; one decides to go home - but become a free spirit; the wife calms down after having screaming fits every five minutes. And this devastating dude is free to start all over again. In Woodies dreams! And all his fans who love his fantasy world perversions. 7/10 for the scenery and cinematography and pretty people. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0497465/
