Light on life in London and the UK
Apparently, if you haven’t read Stieg Larsson’s books in Sweden, you’re excluded from all forms of social life there. The books are excellent, though shocking, and you just can’t stop reading once you’ve started. So of course Bunny had to see the first film, which directly translated is called “Men who hate women”. There is a lot cut out from the fairly lengthy book, but it still works, and even knowing what is going to happen I found myself jumping in my seat. 2.5 hours well spent…
Bunny is not too keen on dogs, having had some annoying experiences with some really untrained ones, but more about that later…so anyway, when a friend lent me the book Marley and Me a few years ago I was surprised to find myself hooked…and weirdly thinking it would make a great film with Jennifer Aniston in it. So when it came out had to see it then! As expected it was very romantic and sweet, not quite like the book, but def a must-see for dog lovers 
So, had a bit of a DVD race the other night…but amazingly managed to pick 4 good films:
Paris, je t’aime – this is a few year’s old now, but was picked up in an offer at Asda…surprisingly good, has got some kind of Shortcuts quality about it…even if some of the stories were a tad bizarre. Worth seeing if you like Paris.
Burn after reading – cannot believe I missed this when it was in the cinema, another fab Coen brothers piece.
Ghost Town – Ricky Gervais in an American comedy….why not? Funny little chick flick!
Zack and Miri Make a Porno – well, would never have watched if it hadn’t been recommended by Blockbusters store manager – a girl about my age….never thought a film about porno would be as sweet, but it really is…plus with some awkward moments
Bunny recommends them all!
It is quite a few weeks since I saw Confessions of a Shopaholic now, and ages since I read the book, but Bunny still likes – perfect chick flick – and with a happy ending…a bit like Sex and the City with even loopier outfits…and more romance than sex, really…but Bunny recommends!
(I do however wonder if they are planning any sequels…the book was originally set in the UK, but the film is set in NYC…what about Shopaholic Abroad then?)
