In David Freyne’s winning film Eternity, the newly dead have endless themed paradises to choose from. If you can imagine it, it’s an option. There’s Beach World, Nudist World, Studio 54 World (there’s no AIDS and everyone is blissfully out), Infantilising World (it takes all kinds to make an afterlife), Man Free World (sorry, there’s a…
I recently watched Casablanca with my mother and my daughter—three generations of women. I’d seen it before, decades ago. It’s one of my mother’s favorites and my daughter–who picked it–had never seen it. As the final credits rolled, we wiped away our tears and nodded our heads. That, we all agreed, was a phenomenal film. …
Love is everywhere this year… at least at the movies, both theatrical and streamed. Everyone is making them, watching them, and showing them! I, of course, think this is the best thing ever. Personally, I’ve watched more romances–films, not TV show because that’s a whole ‘nother thing–in the past year than I did in the…
A few nights ago, Dr. Feelgood and I watched The Idea of You. If you live in the States, you’ve probably seen one of the bazillion article/videos about this Amazon produced film. Critics have, given that it is a straight up romance (unlike the book which inspired it), mostly liked it. It’s lauded for its…
When I’m with someone I don’t know that well and the conversation lags, I love to ask them: What’s your favorite movie? Most of the time, people think a moment and then say they don’t have a favorite movie but, if they had to pick they’d say __________________. Then they ask me for mine. I…
It’s Oscar time and, as usual, I have seen almost none of the nominees–currently I’ve only seen Barbie. The nominees are: American Fiction Anatomy of a Fall Barbie The Holdovers Killers of the Flower Moon Maestro Oppenheimer Past Lives Poor Things The Zone of Interest I do plan, this weekend, to watch Oppenheimer although I…
Dr. Feelgood and I (finally) watched The Lost City (6.1 rating at IMDB) and enjoyed it. I, of course, beamed through all the love for romance novels. If you’ve not seen it, Sandra Bullock stars as Loretta Sage, a romance novelist who has lost her mojo–she’s the author of a wildly popular series featuring…
This review contains spoilers for the book and the movie. Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game is justly beloved. As Em wrote in her review, the novel is quirky, funny, romantic, delightful, and most of all, charming. It’s also sexy as hell. Romancelandia was pumped when Thorne’s book was optioned in 2017 and we’ve waited ever…
A friend came over this weekend and said he and his 22 year old daughter had been discussing this for fun and, no shock, had completely different answers to the question: Who is the most attractive on-screen couple of all time? His daughter felt it was impossible to beat Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in…
