Since Owen Wilson is a blonde, I thought how much better Heath would have been in the role. Heath and Woody Allen...that would have been quite a combination. The parts with the '20s celebrities were enticing and quite a tease. I wish those characters had been developed more. Luis Bunuel as a dunce, getting his inspiration from surfer dude Owen? It was great to see Carla Bruni in a role as a working woman in Paris...she was great!!

I just learned that a new Monty Python movie will be out next year! Apparently, it is based on the memoirs of the one Pythoner who died, Graham Chapman. The Liar's Autobiography has all the surviving members involved except for Eric Idle. Something to look forward to!

I saw 'Midnight in Paris' 3 weeks ago with our movie group and loved it. But then I am in love with Paris. I warned the others I might walk straight out and head for the Travel Agent. Lucky it was Sunday ;D I recognised many locations from my fairly regular visits there. I also love 20's music and so am thinking of buying the DVD. The story was silly but that did not worry me.
The reason I came to this thread was that I have just returned from seeing 'One Day'. I had to fill in time while my car was serviced. I had seen the trailer (at MIP) and thought it was mildly interesting and there was not much available on a weekday morning. In fact I was the only person in the theatre. Just as well. I do not think I have cried so much since BM.
I had never heard of Jim Sturgess but he is cute. his smile made me melt. I had trouble understanding Anne Hathaway at times. Perhaps she was trying to sound English. I do not read here as we usually get movies in NZ months after you do.
