Rainy Sunday...
First, the obligatory meme post for the day...
MY LIFE IN RUINS
So...a lot of people thought Nia Vardalos was kind of a one-trick pony after My Big Fat Greek Wedding (and I'm not saying she's the most innovative writer or actress), but the more I learned about her reasons for making this movie (and not doing much after MBFGW), the more I got into it. The 'comedy' is pretty slap-stick and not so great, but the scenery is beautiful, NV is pretty goshdurn likable and Alexis Georgoulis is...mmm...I'm casting him as Jeremy Hunt in my Hathaway series.

Day 06 - Favourite actor/actress (Johnny Depp & Kate Winslet)
