GOOD & BAD---

FIRST WATCHES:

And So They Were Married (1936) Mary Astor, Melvyn Douglas, Donad Meek.    A man and woman, both parents, arrive at a skiing lodge and before long their offspring are being bratty and causing trouble.  A landslide blocks the road and they end up among the few guests.  So the adults gradually become interested in each other and the kids have to make the best of it.   Not bad and Astor is a delight.  7/10

Weekend With Father (1951) Van Heflin, Patricia Neal, Virginif Field, Richard Denning.   He has two girls. She has two boys.  They fall in love and decide to marry.  His former girlfriend, a singer, decides to visit the lodge where they are all vacationing.  Supposed to be charming but is tedious.         6/10

Morning Glory (2010) Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson.   A new hire at the TV station tries to make the ratings go  up and gets on the last nerve of the grumpy star newsman.  Never have seen McAdams act so hyper.  She makes ME nervous and is not appreciated by her fellow toilers at the station.   Ford is fine as the old time newsman who doesn't want to do frivolous segments she thinks up.

Three Daring Daughters (1948) Jane Powell, Jeanette MacDonald, Jose Iterbi, Edward Arnold.  Remake of Deanna Durbin film.  Powell is no Durbin.  Jeanette is in fine voice.  Rather tedious.  6/10

The Swan (1956) Grace Kelly, Alec Guinness, Louis Jourdan, Jessie Royce Landis.   Beautifully done romance.  The stars are wonderful.  10/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049815/combined

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn.   Crazy gun toting couple each work for an agency that tries to get rid of the other assasin.  Stars make it worth watching every once in  a while.     8/10    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0356910/combined

P.S. I Love You (2007) Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Gina Gershon, Lisa Kudrow, Harry Connick Jr., Kathy Bates.   Young woman loses her husband to a brain tumor and discovers he has written a series of letters to be delivered each month with some sort of instruction for her.  Funny in parts with her friends; lovely romance as she remembers how they met and fell in love.   For romantics only.   9/10
