We went to the movies last night and saw an adorable film called the 27 Dresses.
This one starred Katherine Heigl and James Marsden, I believe these two fine young actors are going to be the next Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan duo. They mesh that well together.
Anyway …

The movie “St. Trinian’s” failed to impress me, even though it had an excellent cast of actors such as Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Mischa Barton and Stephen Fry. I found the script lacked certain magic and, in certain moments, there didn’t seem to be a link between one scene …

I had heard from a friend whose taste I respect that this was a remarkable movie, so I decided to check it out. Well, it’s different, I’ll say that.
