More Movies On DVD
Watched "Ghost" again - it's been a long time, but it's October, and a good ghost story seemed to be necessary.
What a good movie! It's appalling, however, to read about Demi Moore's late efforts, via surgery, to remain viable, or bankable, or whatever you call it. THAT stuff gives me nightmares!
Then I watched, for the first time, 2004's "Mean Girls", starring Lindsay Lohan. Since I'm completely out of the Hollywood loop, I wondered 'who is this Lohan person, and why do gossip columnists fret about her so?'
Liked the movie a lot. A little more earnest, not quite so clever as 1995's "Clueless", which traversed some of the same territory. Nevertheless, I did not like Lindsay Lohan that much. Sure, she has a lot of energy, and she is dynamic, but she seemed a bit lazy for the role, and vapid too. Instead, I was very impressed with the supposedly vapid "Plastics", particularly Rachel McAdams (maybe I have a weakness for leggy blondes), but also the spacy Goldie-Hawn-like Amanda Seyfried, and the hyper-alert Lacey Chabert. The little bit where Seyfried models the sweater with the applique-K in the mirror had me rolling in laughter! I was captivated by the Plastic's sense of style, and, oddly enough, their niceness.
The last word, of course, belongs to E., who opined "it was dry and it lacked ingredients."
