Movie Reviews

New addition to motheronboard - for those of you who don't have the pleasure of The Informer delivered to your door, I am going to start including my movie reviews. These will be found to rent or buy from your friendly local Video Ezy....Here's the latest couple I've done:

PS I Love You
I admit my end of the couch certainly got misty during this movie, but despite the title this is not a total sodden tissue sop-fest. Holly (Hillary Swank) is a young widow who receives a series of letters from her late husband - letters written by him before his death, as he is not quite ready to say Good bye. Very good movie, funny and poignant and yes a bit welled up in places.

Death at a Funeral
Great British comedy - Daniel is the respectful son who is trying to farewell his father properly, with dignity, the English way. His plan and the funeral deteriorates as the behaviour of collected family and friends spiral out of control. The undertaker makes a mistake, Uncle Alfie is abusive, there is an accidental drug taking. In the middle of it appears a black-mailing dwarf, whom is claiming to be Daniels' fathers' very special friend. If you liked Ned Divine, Saving Grace, and Keeping Mum, rent it - this is the most laughs you'll ever have at a funeral.
