![]() Vanity Fair November 2008 Amy Adams (No. 579) $6.98 Vanity Fair November 2008 Issue Amy Adams How She went from Hooters to Hollywood Stardom; When Jackie Kennedy Fell In Love; Prince William and the girl who would be queen; Drugs Hookers and the High Tech Billionaire; Money Honeys; and more ![]() Junebug $14.94 i enjoyed the beginning of the movie and felt it was well executed. original and off-beat composition and editing to begin. the actress who played the pregnant sister was also very convincing. unfortunately, i didn't feel the characters were well-developed or defined ultimately and we really didn't gain insight into their emotional machinations. i was left with a shallow feeling of unfulfillment after the movie. the socially and racially challenged starving artist added to the overall gloom and disaffected quality of the film ![]() Drop Dead Gorgeous $9.98 Yep you read it right. This movie is so funny and I enjoyed it so much over the years that I plan on buying a second copy since my first dvd is getting a little scratched. When I pull this movie out to watch with friends at first they don't think much about it but after the intro with Adam West, they get intrigued after the first ten minutes they're hooked. If had to whittle down my collection of DVDs to only 100, this one would surely make the cut. ![]() Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (Widescreen & Full Screen Edition) $19.98 It's taken over 65 years for Winifred Watson's novel, MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY, to get to the movie screen, but it's been well worth the wait. London is on the brink of World War 2, and times are tough; but things look particularly grim for one Miss Pettigrew (Frances McDormand). She's a children's nanny who can't seem to find her niche, instead living a desperate hand-to-mouth existance in the slums and soup-kitchens of the city; but everything turns around when she manages to land a job as "social secretary" to the dizzy American nightclub singer, Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams). Delysia's complicated love-life needs a firm hand, and Miss Pettigrew fits the bill nicely, managing to turn her brief 24 hours of service into a life-changing experience neither of them will forget. MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY is a giddy romantic period romp, the perfect screen adaptation of Watson's fondly-remembered novel. Rising star Amy Adams ("Enchanted", "Doubt") adds another delightful role to her canon; Frances McDormand makes the character of Miss Pettigrew come to life with lots of untold layers. Lee Pace shines as Delysia's piano-playing boyfriend; with Shirley Henderson, Mark Strong and Ciarn Hinds. |
