movies 2012: Mystic Pizza and Muriel's Wedding

[supercheesegirl]

I was just looking through some old entries and realized that I never posted about these movies. Maybe I didn't want to ruin my excellent 2012 movie record that no one but me is keeping, I don't know. But I did watch both of these: on my maternity leave, when I was staying up late with the baby. I liked Mystic Pizza a lot better than Muriel's Wedding. There may have been others that I watched but now I can't remember.

I do know that I watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day at some point, but I don't know if it was during 2012. I know it had been out for a while when I watched it; apparently it came out in 2008, so I guess I could have seen it anytime from 2010 to 2012. But I liked it a lot.

We JUST watched Miss Pettigrew this weekend! We really enjoyed it a lot. Two of my favorite actresses -- quite a treat. I didn't know it was based on a book but having watched the extas on the DVD, I really want to read it! It sounds like it's even more racy than the movie, and I'm curious about that kind of book being written in the 1930s.

I liked the book much better than the movie despite the presence of Amy Adams, who is utterly adorable.

I remember watching the extras too, and the book sounded pretty interesting. I'd like to learn more about the author, too.

That's a pretty strong recommendation for the book! I'll try to check it out.
