  2. Hey, thanks for the update. Erin Brocovich was good – I have it on a VCR tape but have not seen it in a very long time. Saw The Sentinel with Michael Douglas over the weekend. Mike Douglas would be a great PAGE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. MUST TAKE A LOT OF TIME DOING ALL THAT RESEARCH…

    1. Hey BERN1960, thanks for the compliment. I will put Michael Douglas on the list of pages that I will do in the future. Look for it soon.

  3. Hi Mr Movies, Erin Brocovich is one of my all time favourite movies. The chemistry between Julia Roberts and Albert Finney is hollywood gold dust. The movie demonstrates how ordinary Davids’ can sometimes outsmart ruthless goliaths’. Notting Hill is also a great movie where Hugh Grant is the perfect foil for Julia’s character. The humour is painted on by an artists hand. Pretty Woman is another great movie where the whole mix works perfectly together. Richard Gere is great too. I can’t remember Steel Magnolias but it was probably a great movie. I’ve seen most of her other movies and she rarely disappoints. Cheers my man, another cinematic marvel. Julia will finally forgive you for that first inept page. 🙂

    1. Thanks for stopping by attemptedhumour…..and I especially appreciate knowing that she will forgive for that first really bad page. I have also seen most of her movies, and usually she does not disappoint. My wife and I watch Pretty Woman and Notting Hill about once every two years and they seem to get better with time. So I do believe we agree about Mrs. Danny Moder.
