RIP Diane Keaton

Super sad news that has broken in the last half hour that actress Diane Keaton has passed away at the age of 79. An Oscar winning actress for her role in Annie Hall, was also nominated on three other occasions for Reds, Marvin’s Room and Something’s Gotta Give.

She had a truly incredible career in film, starring across many different genres. Including The Godfather trilogy and Manhattan. My favourites include Father of the Bride and The First Wives Club, as they give me happy memories.

Thoughts go out to her family and friends ❤️

RIP Dame Maggie Smith

Rest in peace to a true British treasure and incredible actress Dame Maggie Smith, who has sadly passed away at the age of 89. First brought to my attention as a kid in Sister Act and then I have just loved the many different projects she has been in over the years. She will be most well known for her roles in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. I also love to remember her small role in First Wives Club as it never fails to make me smile. A double Oscar winner for her performances in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in a leading role and in California Suite in a supporting role.

Thoughts go out to her family ❤️

Let’s Go To The Movies – 50 Favourite Films!

This is something I have been putting together for quite a long time now and I have held off posting it or even attempting to start the blog post in fear that I have forgotten and somehow missed a favourite film from the list. Barring in mind I got up to 72 films and then had to cut it down to the 50. I would like to make clear these are my favourite films, some might have happened to win Oscars as well and some certainly have not at all. The way I have decided on my favourites is the sheer joy they bring and the number of rewatches I have had over the years. While I have listed 1-50 a lot of them can be shifted around and changed with each other. It is going to highlight my love for musicals and for certain actors and actresses! I doubt it will contain many surprises though!

Musical Moments – The First Wives Club

I have just finished watching this film which was a pretty good build up for my New York trip which is involving seeing Bette Midler on Broadway in Hello, Dolly.

A fantastic final moment for the film as Midler, Keaton and Hawn break into song and dance with ‘You Don’t Own Me’.

7 Films you forgot Sarah Jessica Parker was in!

My previous blog post about Sarah Jessica Parker’s new film ‘I Don’t Know How She Does It’ got me thinking about her career on the silver screen. She has been in quite a lot of films now, but can you actually remember many of them? I am guessing for a lot of people the answer will probably be known. Most well-known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City TV Show.

When looking at her different roles to make this list, one thing that I seemed to notice is that not many of her characters are liked by the other characters. So that probably means that audiences aren’t really too fond on them either. That could possibly be a reason why SJP is not very well received by critics and movie watchers. Although I will always consider myself a fan after Sex and the City, and always hope that she gets some good movies to appear in.

News: Midler Calls For First Wives Club Sequel

I caught Bette on Rachael Ray yesterday and they were talking about this saying that she wished they had got the chance to do it not long after the original movie. I for one would love to see the sequel as adore this movie.

Actress Bette Midler wants to reunite with Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton for a sequel to 1996 comedy movie The First Wives’ Club.

The trio played three spurned women who seek revenge on the husbands who left them for younger women, in the comedy hit.

Midler insists Hollywood sexism prevented them from making a follow-up sooner, but she’s not given up hope – and is hoping to bring the story up to date on the big screen.

The star says, “I really do regret the fact that we didn’t get to do a sequel earlier and it’s funny when women have a big success, they say, ‘Ah, it’s a fluke’, but when men have a big success they bring a sequel straight out. We had a huge hit but then they couldn’t get it together for a sequel, it wasn’t organised enough to get it done again. So it really broke my heart.

“I was actually thinking in the shower the other day, has it been too long? Will people remember? It’s been two generations! I think if they got it together I think the crowd would come out for it, I really do.”
