Laws of Attraction

I recall wanting to see this when it first came out seven years ago. Predictably cheesy and thus my type of movie.

A woolly performance by a scruffy Pierce Brosnan (whom I like as Bond but also in other roles such as Dante's Peak). Julianne Moore is her straight up self (first big role was The Fugitive). Amazing unrecognizable role as a rock star by that chameleon Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon) and Frances Fisher (Titanic) has a fun part.

Some nice scenes and beautiful scenery and Brosnan and Moore have good chemistry. I'd watch again.

Hotel Transylvania

One of my favourite critics gave this a very high rating and said it was suitable for all ages. I disagree on both counts. It is fun and there is a lot going on in some scenes. But my young granddaughter cringed and hid whenever Dracula bared his fangs (which was supposed to be funny...).

It stars and is produced by Adam Sandler (whom I don't generally like but 50 First Dates is incredibly romantic). And also the voice of Selena Gomez (Dr Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!).

Not much else to say. We avoided the 3D version as usual. OK as a rental but I wouldn't see again.

1776

This was a 'musical play' in the late 1960's with the film made in 1972. Needless to say, it is 'dated' in more ways than one and drags in parts. But it is an interesting story of the founding of a great country and it is not without humour. It stars William Daniels whom I don't remember but apparently was in The Graduate. Also, a young Blythe Danner (recently in The Lucky One, see my review) and also Ken Howard (In Her Shoes, which I enjoyed). Good rental or find it on TV.
