The other day I watched this unassuming movie. I had actually received it from Netflix, and as usually happens, I could not recall why I had chosen to place it in my queue or what it was about. So, without knowing whether it was a suspense thriller or comedy, I slipped it into the player, and was charmed. It is very funny and well acted. While the ending is not surprising, it is still well worth watching.

A Little Charmer

Isn't it fun to discover a gem?
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI'll look out for it. Since blogging I haven't been watching any TV, not that I watched much before but I had a few favourites like the chef programmes and house design and rennovation - Grand Designs was a wonderful English series.
This netflix I hear people talk about is it an internet -mail movie supplier?
I read Slum Dog M. on the plane to NZ still haven't seen the movie. I have spells where I go to the movies -usually in the winter on a bad day to a daytime screening. But mostly I hate to be inside in the dark in the daytime and I'm too lazy to go out at night - there goes my movie ops!
Happy Days
Rosaria, yes, especially when it is unexpected.
ReplyDeleteDelwyn, I agree! Since good weather is so scarce, there is no way that I'll go inside to watch a movie then. But, in the evenings, after dark, after blogging or if I am too tired, I like to watch movies. Netflix is the internet DVD shipping company. They have a great selection, I can keep them as long as it takes me to get around to watching, and the turn around is only a couple of days. And now I have a super HD computer with BluRay DVD player (the prize I got when my computer died a few weeks ago), so I can watch them on my laptop. Okay, now I sound like a representative for Netflix, and that I watch movies every day! Really instead, I stay outside until dark, then read, blog or other computer research.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it when I stumble across movies like that! I can recommend two that came to mind at the moment I read this..."The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" and "84 Charing Cross Road".
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it. I wonder under what translated title it was relesed with here...
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of films do you like the most? Romance stories, comedies, action flicks, intimist cinema, thrillers, courtroom dramas?
