DR Elmore,

Hope you can feel better soon.

I didn't like CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC either, but I had to finish it since I was reviewing it. In reading other reviews, I note a good many people found more to like about it than I did.

I loved CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC when i saw it in the theatres. And i wasn't expecting to love it since i love the books and the movies usually don't do the books justice.

Even though there were a lot of changes from the first book, I think it's possible to like the movie (if you love the books).

I think this movie is a chick flick. A fun romantic comedy, but definitely aimed at women.

It may have been aimed at women, but if it's a good movie, it should have some kind of universal appeal. I ADORED THE DEVIL WERS PRADA and that was every bit a "ckick flick" as SHOPAHOLIC. But one was well directed with superb performances and a plot and characters we hadn't seen before. SHOPAHOLIC was cliched, dumb, and predictable.

Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it was cliched, dumb and predictable. The story was the story as written in the book. It's not like they could change most things. I think there are some romantic comedies that while predictable can still be very enjoyable. I don't need every movie to be an Academy award winner.

I think the SHOPAHOLIC books are 100% geared towards women. And maybe they made a mistake not making the movie a bit more guy friendly. I do agree with you that chick flicks should still be appealing to men.

The part where i really disagree is just because something is NOT for your demographic does not make it bad. It's just not for you. I know you couldn't stand the lead character. But a lot of people love her!

The UPS man did bring another review item: Season 3 of DEXTER on Blu-ray, but it also doesn't come out until August 18th, so my two days off will continue. I will not be heading back to work until Sunday afternoon with the Blu-ray of KAGEMUSHA.

Hopefully Season 4 will start soon. It seems like forever since Season 3 ended!

Health vibes for DR Michael Shayne.

DR George i'm very curious about the new SISTER ACT cd. Hope it's enjoyable!

I am very sleepy. I think i will go to bed now and watch US monday's The Young & The Restless.
I've quite enjoyed the last few days antics with sharon/jack/phyl/nick. Those people are crazy!

The wags over at All That Chat are quite pleased with it. Personally, I think it is one of Alan Menken's finest.

I love Alan Menken's music. I like the CD a lot. The opening disco songs are great! The stage musical is set in 1978.

George · « **Reply #161 on:** July 31, 2009, 06:05:01 PM »

I have to leave work soon, but I'm going to listen to it again (a couple of times, at least) tomorrow.

Have a good rest of the evening, all.

Until later!

JMK, guess I gave some of the ball game away with Lord Love A Duck - it's really no secret that it's a two-fer of Hefti's brilliant How To Murder Your Wife and Lord Love A Duck - and now, a second CD with the never before released original score tracks to How To Murder Your Wife, which are amazing and so much better than the album rerecording, which is more like a Mancini pop album than a film score. Wife has some of the most memorable themes you'll ever hear in one motion picture. I'll be giving you all the early-bird special, probably on Monday or Tuesday. This is a must-have for lovers of melodic, fun film scores - think The Odd Couple meets Barefoot In The Park and you'll have an idea what to expect with How To Murder Your Wife.

Good to know about "How to Murder..." I like the themes as they are in the movie, so your find of the movie tracks and decision to release them are good things. I liked the fact that the two main themes in "How to Murder" are the same (more or less)-- just played differently. I think it and "Harlow" are two of Neil Hefti's best efforts.

I helped my (ex) mother-in-law move today, and I'm tired. It has also seemed much hotter today, although I think the temperature is still down a few degrees. In a bit, I have to go to a dinner for a friend who is here from out of town. I'm sure it will be nice, but at this particular moment, I'm not looking forward to being social with about 15 people (only about half of whom I know).
So, I'm off.........

Yea for Friday night. Stay up late.

Ikea and Target no longer sell prefab CD storage units light enough in weight for me to move myself.
Now what. I refuse to get rid of anything else. I've already purged twice. Everything else must stay.

Listening to The Trotter Trio , The Fantasticks in Jazz.

Sam · « **Reply #171 on:** July 31, 2009, 06:43:06 PM »

Well, I guess I better find my glasses and get things done.

I'm happy about the 2 cd set.

Till later, near midnight as always.

Hopefully the nightowls will be there.

Sam · « **Reply #174 on:** July 31, 2009, 06:46:21 PM »

What to listen to next.

After all the posts yesterday, I think it will be, The Creature Wasn't Nice.

And then some rock n roll.
