Movies

Let Us Be Gay (1930) Norma Shearer is nearly unrecognizable as a dowdy housewife humiliated by her husband's infidelity. Three years after their divorce she is an Independent Modern Woman and they encounter each other again. Hence the gaiety of the title - heavily forced to show she "doesn't care" and it got so every time she giggled I just wanted to slap her. This is my least favorite Norma Shearer movie so far and I just want to see one where she doesn't get divorced at the beginning and then get back with her husband again in the final shot of the film. 4/10

Before divorce.

After.


RRRrrr!!! (2004) French caveman comedy. Has its moments, with more laughs than the Ringo one. It's a comedy, about cavemen. I like how all the animals have tusks, even the ducklings. Donna slept through part of it, and rightly so. 5/10
