---more films I have watched this month:
You've Got Mail (1998) Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks. Rewatched. Love both stars in this one. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128853/
Hanging Up (2000) Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton, Lisa Kudrow, Walter Matthau. Three sisters come together to reconcile differences and deal with their dying father. Keaton does her uptight business woman. Meg her sweet helpful self. Both are annoying. Barely remember watching it, so that means something. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162983/
Next (2007) Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore, Jessica Biel. A Las Vegas magician, who can see a few minutes into the future, thus averting many disasters, is wanted by the FBI, and bad people for bad reasons, having to do with nuclear terrorists. Whew! Will he succeed in saving the world once again? Cage is so watchable his films don't need to make sense, I guess. Good action scenes and stunts. 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435705/
Live Free or Die Hard (2007) Bruce Willis as John McClane once again saves all from the bad guys. The stunts are getting really unreal. And the nerd he saves is a real zero until almost the end. Should have made him more quirky or interesting. Still can't go wrong with McClane saving the world for a fun time at the movies. 9/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337978/
W. (2008/I) Josh Brolin, Thandie Newton, Richard Dreyfus, Scott Glenn. Oliver Stones' engrossing take on the presidency of George W. Bush. Brolin is amazing and actually had me feeling a little sorry for this dunce we had to endure for 8 years. Laura comes across as a perfect Stepford wife. And Momma Bush as the doyen who famously was caught comparing people from Arkansas as "trailor trash" as the uppity person she really is. As a first impression on all these 'historic' figures and times, it is funny, insightful, and abrasive. Whether it will stand the test of time, we will see. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1175491/
Personal Effects (2009) Michelle Pfeiffer, Ashton Krutcher, Kathy Bates. May-Dec romance between a young man whose sister was murdered, and a widow with a deaf-mute son. They meet at a therapy session of family members. While waiting for trial verdicts, etc., romance happens. The leads are both so watchable you forget that the story is a mess and boring. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1138489/
Very hot and steamy today. It's a cool drink and movies for me....
