I think you should check out The Holiday. There was a surprising story between Winslet and an elderly Hollywood writer, and another unexpected twist behind Law's character. So it was not a trite story, in my opinion. Jack Black was more grounded than usual, and even Diaz kept her annoying traits to a bearable minimum. <BR/><BR/>I hope you will watch these movies and let me know what you think! <BR/><BR/>Beware that Sweeney Todd is very gruesome in parts. But so is The Departed, and they were both movies that my mind kept wrapping around for days after watching. I love those kind.Kristen https://www.blogger.com/profile/12553080480161835756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409485056752838066.post-8909086139560327352008-12-31T07:23:00.000-08:002008-12-31T07:23:00.000-08:00I loved Waitress and 3.10 to Yuma.

I don't think I could stomach The Holiday, however, considering that 3/4 of its top-billed cast bugs the heck out of me. I do love me some Kate Winslet, though.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339936940500165901noreply@blogger.com
