--films with my girlie's.
Free Starz Weekend on Satellite:
2 I had never seen:
The Juror (1996) Demi Moore, Alec Baldwin, James Gandolfini. Artist wants to, and is, picked for the trial of a mafia Don, Louie Boffano. She is selected by The Teacher, the Don's hit man, to bring in the jury with a not guilty verdict. Good premise goes off track along the way, and we end up in Columbia running around in the ruins. One long scene as Moore tries to convince the rest of the jury to see things her way and acquit. A lot of Baldwin being quietly menacing and nuts. And Gandolfini and Lo Bianco could have phoned in their parts, they are so generic. Big disappointment with this fine cast. 5/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116731/
Kate & Leopold (2001) Meg Ryan, Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber. I'm sorry. What is Meg going for with that hairdo? Were we doing haircuts for dames that looked liike a mop back in 2001? Every scene she is in, I can't get past that hair! I think the two men fair a little better. Liev is distracted and crazed like a scientist in comedies is supposed to be. Jackman is properly vedy British and neat. So I guess if you like time travel movies, this is one for you. But it is not that well done and Meg is a mess. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035423/
And a rewatch:
Did You Hear About The Morgans? (2009) Sarah Jessica Parker, Hugh Grant, Sam Elliot, Mary Steenburgen. Reviewed before on my Blog. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1314228/
The selection of films this weekend was a bit lacking. But that's the way it goes.
