The Looking Glass War

Note to self: don't read Le Carré on cold, damp Sunday mornings when you're indulging in bleakness. What a book, though. I shall now go to the cinema to see Wimbledon, which will leave me cheery and at one with the world.

I've only seen the last of those, and I was on an aeroplane not bothering with the soundtrack, so the finer points of the plot eluded me...

There must be rom coms I like, but my brain is refusing to offer up anything closer to home than Romuald et Juliette. Gosh, it's years since I've seen that. I wish it would show up on BBC4 or something.

Legally Blonde rocks! Really, it's absolutely hilarious. Also, it is thoroughly and satisfyingly feminist. Grosse Pointe Blank is about a hired killer (the admirable John Cusack) going back to his high-school reunion.

Addicted to Love has Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick bent on revenge on the ex-partners who jilted them (and ran off with each other).

The other two are both Sandra Bullock film. We've watched Miss Congeniality far too many times. Michael Caine. William Shatner. Gosh, I really want to see it again now.
