Looks like there's a bit of thread drift going on here, so I'll put my 2/- worth in too. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith were brilliant (as always) in "Ladies in Lavendar." "Mrs Henderson Presents" is the next movie on my "Must see" list, but while waiting for that to hit the provinces, I dragged my beloved off to "Kinky Boots" and can thoroughly recommend that little treasure too.
If you're tired of movie watching and would prefer a good book, check out Gisbornite Elenor Gill's "In the Shadow of Trees" - it's superb.

That was me again, forgetting to log in before I post. But I've hit the "Log me in automatically" button now, so, with luck, my posts will now automaticlly be assigned to Jode rather than to Guest. Bear with me girls - I'm a slow learner. :oops:

Saw Ladies In Lavender on DVD at the weekend... just loved it, now rated as one of my favourites. I do have a problem with sound on DVD's & at the movies, the music is sooo loud it's very hard to hear the actors speaking. Does anyone else find this? I don't think there an answer to this one.

Oh Sue I know just how you feel. My last movie was Jurassic Park.
I had to leave before 1/2 time.

I just could not cope with the loudness.
I only watch at home now sad to say.

Hard to believe I once loved loud concerts ---after all I am of the Woodstock generation.

Im glad you all enjoyed "Mrs Henderson Presents" i thought it was sooooooo good, and Will Young is in it, my fav singer, he won our pop idol a few years ago, and has done very well. Hollywood is so fake and plastic, but its allways been like that i suppose. Look at Micky Rourke, he used to be fairly handsome, he now looks dreadfull, dont understand how people can think they look good when in actual fact they look terrible, id like certain things done, but its not gonna happen so ill get over it. Farrah Fawcett looks awful, she should sue whoever did it to her, as should Micheal Jackson, and his awful sister, the one who tries to be his clone. Judi Dench has been around a long time i remember her acting when i was a little girl, shes a national treasure, and i hope she never changes! the same goes for Maggie Smith. Joan Collins looks good, but not sure whether it is all her own work or a surgeons, because when you get into your 70s things do go south. They have for me and im only 49!

Oh wow! I loved Will Young's character in Mrs Henderson Presents! It was such a great movie, so funny and so lavish too

nice :)

I'd just like to be outwardly beautiful. The inside is beautiful enough. I think that there is a lot of denial of the rule of looks in society.
