Let's Go To The Movies 
This is a really good holiday film, especially with the love and respect shown to Eli Wallach as the elderly Writer…we can all debate whether Jack Black’s brief foray into “romantic lead” suffers when his counterpart is Jude Law, but he’s funny and warm, so there’s that!

Yes the Eli Wallach parts are just so lovely and amazing at the same time!

Yes, a really nice tribute to a great Artist late in his life

There’s a great movie in there if they cut out the stuff with Cameron Diaz while they could still keep Jude Law as Kate’s brother. The stuff Kate Winslet did with Eli Wallach was incredible. I could watch those 2 read phone books and be enamored by them.

Exactly. I didn’t care for the stuff with Cameron Diaz. I wanted more Eli Wallach. I love that man.

I agree with all this. Cameron in her heels in the snow – give over! But all the Kate and Jack stuff is lovely. I would take Jack Black’s character over Jude’s any day of the week. And I love Kate and Eli too. Especially explaining the meet cute. I watch it every year!

Yay. PS – sorry to go on about it but Vero has just been updating their ‘featured users’ including a reviewers section and it made me think of you again. If you don’t fancy it, or it’s just another thing to update, don’t worry at all. I just think your style would fit in really well on there. A lot of people on there love films and I’m sure would love your reviews as much as I do.

Oh brill! Hope you like it.
Once you’re set up, do a practice post by pressing the + button and choosing if you want to post a film, book, link, photo etc. I recommend choosing ‘film’ so it automatically brings up a series of pictures for you to choose from, and provides the trailer etc without you having to do it. Then you can add a link to your blog within what you write.
But of course, ignore me and do it whatever way you like!! Happy Vero-ing!

That sounds great! I just posted a link to my blog as the first post. I’ll have a proper play around with it tomorrow.
