Usually actors and actresses are good looking and have great personalities and yes, we do feel like imitating them.
Not only do we imitate them to amuse and entertain people at parties or gatherings but we also like to actually look like them!
Dress is definitely a means of imitating a particular actors or actresses style. Maybe it is juts a casual, dressed up look. But somehow, if we feel that we are imitating someone famous, I guess it gives us a sense of confidence!
Hairstyles are another way of looking like celebrities. I always look at Meg Ryan’s and Gwenyth Paltrow’s hairstyles, cause they have similar hair to mine and it always helps when I go to the hairdressers and say tell them the particular hairstyle that I am talking about.
Are you one of those people who enjoy watching the old musicals like The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Blue Hawaii, My Fair Lady and The Young Ones …..?
Not only do these musicals re-emphasize the era they were made in, but it also gives us the idea of: the type of English they spoke, the clothes they wore and just how they viewed life on the whole.
Also it is always interesting to observe that most of the time, the actor or actress was a popular singer like: Julie Andrews, Elvis Presley and Cliff Richards.
We have moved away from the era these movies were made in. Not only in terms of music, but dress, hairstyles, lifestyles and technology. But I never get sick of watching these movies.
After our lovely experience at the Babes in Arms movie, my daughter, has been asking to go the movies again.
My Husband, daughter and I decided that it would be a good thing to go the movies today, after having done some shopping.
This time, we got to choose the movie as it was not a Babes in Arms movie session. Hoodwinked was about to start, and so we thought it would be a good ‘family’ movie.
My daughter was all excited to be at the movies once again – but the mistake was that it was the time of her afternoon nap. She was really sleepy, but was able to really concentrate on the movie for about the first twenty minutes. Then she began to get a bit restless. When I glanced at my husband, he was already fast asleep.
After a few minutes, my daughter was out of her seat and half asleep on my lap!
But she kept waking up each time there was some music as she loves to sing and dance. But after awhile she was asleep too.
So I just sat and enjoyed the rest of the movie….
I really enjoyed the songs too and also the bit of suspense in it. The grandma was really funny and it was lovely to hear all the little giggles from the little children watching the movie.
My father was a hotelier in Sri Lanka when my sister and I were kids. So we resided in the Hotel for seventeen years.
During this time, we really looked forward to the arrival of the film crews who always spent a few months at the hotel every few years! [ Click here to read more ]
We all watch movies and we all have favorite ones as well. But how does one become a favorite?
Actors and Actresses – I think this is a key factor, as we tend to enjoy watching movies done by our favorites. Here it is also a combination of the type of movie as well. For instance, Hugh Grant acts in Romantic Comedies, mostly! So, if we enjoy Romantic Comedies and like Hugh Grant, a movie he acts in could be a favorite.

I finally made it to the Babes in Arms session with my daughter. I thought a children’s movie was on today but it was United 93.
But I thought that I would give it a try just to see how she would react to the movie. I let her take in a few sweets, just to distract her incase she got scared of the dark and the noise. But she was fine!

Many good movies are based on novels. It is so nice to have a book you enjoy reading, made into a movie that you actually enjoy watching.
I have personally always enjoyed watching the Jane Austen movies, after having read the book. Of these, Pride and Prejudice has always been my favorite. But Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion were also really good.

I guess most of us would say that movies are an excellent source of entertainment and relaxation. Especially as there are different types of movies such as: comedy, drama, romance, thriller, action, children, and science fiction. So there is a movie category to cater to the type of person we are or the mood we are in when we chose to watch the movie.
But why else do we watch movies?

A movie which is definitely based on drama and romance, which keeps you engrossed throughout the movie, but makes you question it more and more later on!
It revolves around Kate (Sandra Bullock) a doctor and Alex (Keanu Reeves), an upcoming architect trying to keep up a romance while living 2 years apart. They correspond with each other throughout the movie, using a letter box by a lake. Kate has already lived in The Lake House and leaves a note to the new tenant (Alex), who has just moved into the house - which starts the correspondence between the two.

Sandra Bullock is an actress who is excellent for romantic comedies. She manages to look romantic and funny at the same time, which makes her look quite cute in some of her movies. Her movies also somehow convey a serious feel to it by addressing issues that we face in everyday life.
Some of these movies are::
