You know what's a really great idea? Watching a cavalcade of romantic comedies when you're currently unhappy in your relationship. Oh, and you're home alone sick on Valentine's Day. Superb idea.
First up was Letters to Juliet, which I hadn't seen before. I like Amanda Seyfried, in a little girl crush kind of way, since Mamma Mia. The movie itself was alright. Just makes me want to visit Italy.
Next was P.S. I Love You, which I have seen before. Actually, I read the book years ago. I always wonder why I like it so much, but I know the answers. There's the Gerard Butler factor. I want that man. Or maybe just as he is in that role. Goddamn he's sexy. Plus, it's the only movie I've ever watched where I find Hilary Swank pleasurable to watch. I'm not commenting on her acting abilities in the slightest. But she's actually feminine and endearing in this movie and that's a rarity. Then there's the Irish factor: the accents, the music, the scenery, the warm familiarity I've always felt with my Irish ancestry. Screw Italy, I need to visit Ireland.
