Movie Review: Small "c", Big "P". =)

I am afraid i am about to go down (again!) with the unfortunate full-blown cough-and-colds so i spent all Sunday  NOT DOING ANYTHING. (Aside of course for the occasional eating, and then my mandatory water-binging.)

To let you in on one of my secrets --- i love watching fairy tales and movies for children. I've always felt like there are more lessons to learn from them, and i've always been awed on the genius of the writers.

Nanny McPhee, amazingly, was written by Nanny McPhee-herself. Ah, the marvelous Emma Thompson!



It was the PERFECT movie for my lazy day.

I loved the first film, but i have to say that i loved this one even more. There's Maggie Gyllenhaal (i didn't know she speaks british oh-so-fluently!) and Maggie Smith (her character was THE baby from the first movie, right?).

And Ralph Fiennes (i still can't decide who i love more: him or Joseph. hum-hum.) And Ewan Mcgregor (Haha, fangirl on the loose!).

Too bad Nanny McPhee works a very different way. Maybe we have to make her feel that we need MORE of her (a third movie's in the works!) and not give her the feeling that we WANT her. (it did take her years before she came back. both in the film and in real time.)

Directed by Susana White and written by Emma Thompson, It's a 10/10 for this movie. =D
