Never, ever watched Sex in the City. I did just watch Kim Cattrall tonight in Big Trouble in Little China.

I'm so glad to hear that you're not a fan - your reputation is intact!<br /><br />I haven't seen either the mini-series (and guess I'd struggle to now) or that film, but I will check it out. One of my favourite films ever is Tootsie with Dustin Hoffmann. That needs another viewing soon. I wonder if PS measures up as well. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-61907702523385004622014-07-03T02:12:14.899-07:002014-07-03T02:12:14.899-07:00Just saying not all females would be happy to watc...Just saying not all females would be happy to watch SATC - I hate that series (and the movies) with a passion<br /><br />I do like Patrick Swayze though - he was in a mini series in the 80's called North and South...and I loved him as a drag queen in Too Wong Foo thanks For Everything Julie NewmarBernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-3507396240641349982014-07-03T01:42:25.162-07:002014-07-03T01:42:25.162-07:00I'm hoping to read my way through the Smiley s...I'm hoping to read my way through the Smiley series, but hey I hope for a lot in my reading, much of which doesn't transpire.<br />I'll have to You Tube that scene whenever I need a pick-me-up!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-47725845497374773332014-07-03T01:30:08.760-07:002014-07-03T01:30:08.760-07:00Incidentally, the final "Dirty Dancing" ...Incidentally, the final "Dirty Dancing" scene has got some of the most eyeballs on YouTube.

Swayze was good, and in "Ghost" too. As for "The Tailor of Panama," I preferred the book to the movie though Geoffrey Rush, as you said, was amazing. I don't remember Daniel Radcliffe, though. On the other hand, the cinematic rendition of le Carré's "The Constant Gardener" was superb, thanks to some fine acting by Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz. I found both book and film depressing but you got to hand it to le Carré's style.Prashant C. Trikannadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079354501998741758noreply@blogger.com
