"TINA! Bring me the AXE!"

Yesterday was a movie day. We saw the movie, The Family Stone starring Diane Keaton and Sarah Jessica Parker. I liked it. It had a Christmas theme throughout the movie. It had some strong performances and characters too. But it lacked spark and I wanted to love Meredith so much until you realise she really is an idiot.

I rented My House in Umbria, which I adored. Give me Maggie Smith and Italy as a backdrop and I'm happy! Then later that night I watched Mommie Dearest! I haven't seen that movie in a very long time. I didn't realise it was so, well, bad and CAMP! And those eyebrows! Well Faye looked way too much like Joan which was uncanny. The costumes and jewels were brilliant - I'm not so sure about the wigs but it was fun to watch. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's always fun watching a big star loose it in a rose garden, "TINA! Bring me the AXE!".
