The American President "End Titles"
I watched this movie last night and although I am not a fan of Michael Douglas..I found this bit of fluff and sweetness rather moving, thanks mainly to Annette Benning who was wonderfully sympathetic.
(Too big for me to download) I have seen the movie, not all that impressed. I would rate it a 7, maybe. I am very hard to please, anymore, since all the really good actors (that I liked) are getting old or have died. So many are just pretty now, pretty doesn't make you good.
John, have you ever considered acting? I think you could play an eccentric Welsh farmer, really well, or maybe a sea cook!
Okay, that is what I was going to write.... Now this is what I have to say.....
I had never seen that movie up until a couple of years ago and I loved it. I like Annette Benning. An elderly friend of ours (from Wichita KS) taught Annette's brother in elementary school. She said Annette was a real sweetheart as a little girl. A little trivia for you. I hope work went a little easier on you. Take care John...Maura :)

Aside from, or perhaps because of, the 'fluffiness' of "The American President?, it is one of my favorite movies. It makes me smile. A LOT...
ReplyDeleteoh, yes, a good movie. I have seen it a few dozen times myself.
