Valentine's Day
Ok, it was never going to be as good as Love Actually, but it was a pretty good attempt. I haven't seen Ashton Kutcher in anything for a long time, and he was simply lovely - typical romantic who, yes you guessed it, gets dumped on Valentine's Day, but then it's all OK in the end because he gets with the other person who gets dumped on Valentine's day. Taylor Swift surprised me - she is funny funny funny. Cannot act at all, but she's funny.
However, my two favourite stories in it were the old couple (the grandma from In Her Shoes and some other old actor who is definitely famous but I don't know how), and Julia Robert's story. I'm not going to put it here in case anyone who reads this is going to watch it. It's heart warming. (ohh nice phrase lou).
Coco Avant Chanel
I've been wanting to see this film for months now, and tonight I watched it; it's gorgeous. I love films in another language for a start - it makes you really hear the words they are saying, because you have to actually pay attention. For a start, I've always loved Audrey Tautou - she's actually beautiful, and always makes her characters so likeable. I was surprised by what actually happened; I was expecting a poor girl desperately trying to make it as a fashion designer. This isn't at all the case - she pretty much stumbles upon being a fashion designer, she wants to be an singer, then an actress. Alessandro Nivola literally made me gasp - his eyes are amazing and I was desperately waiting for his scenes because he's gorgeous. Oh I can't actually explain how much I liked this film. It's just one of those great films; the costumes are elegant and beautiful, the actors are perfect, the camera work is smooth and artistic - I just really like it.
That's enough of film criticising, but I really could talk about them all day.
