Viewing Project

 On Wednesdays Alistair does online wargaming. So I have a project, following on from my christmas films project, of watching things he wouldn't enjoy.

Currently this is romance/romcom films. My favourites so far are ‘Crazy Rich Asians’, which is more of a romantic drama, but a bit of a Jane Austen style set in Singapore. Beautifully produced film in amazing locations.

And ‘13 Going on 30’ with Jennifer Garner (from Alias) and Mark Ruffalo (from Marvel). Jennifer is a 13 year old girl who suddenly wakes up and is 30, in the future, and sees her life has gone off track. It’s very funny.

Popular films I didn't like included The Proposal: leaden and obvious humour. And The Holiday: great female cast but the least appealing romantic male leads ever gave it zero sex appeal.

Anyone agree/disagree or have any recommendations for my project? My favourite romantic comedy is When Harry Met Sally. Genius.

Not sure if it's available in the UK, but there's a new Netflix movie called Moxie produced by and Amy Poeler. It's all girl power! A little trite, but cute and funny.
