Pregnant woman movie reviews

I don't get out much. 

Getting a babysitter hasn't been at the top of my list of priorities.  But in a week's time I saw one first run movie (the previously mentioned Blades of Glory) and two inflight movies. 

I felt like a cultural maven.

So here are my late and hormonally-influenced movie reviews:

  • Miss Potter -- (the story of Beatrix Potter) It was a lovely light movie about the writer, her disapproving mother and her first love.  Tragic moments.  Personal triumph. I cried.
  • The Holiday -- (this is the one where LA- resident Cameron Diaz switches houses with British village resident Kate Winslet)  Lovely film about escaping from your current reality into something completely different.  Some hokey dialog, but overall entertaining.  I cried.
  • Blades of Glory -- a laugh riot. I cried (as I rushed to the restroom at the end, certain that my bladder control would not last the distance.)
