This must be my favourite story; love the book and also the film. I always enjoy watching the McKenna's who were a couple IRL. Virginia is still alive and is actively involved in the Born Free Foundation, together with her son.

I watched MATB last night as I'm a huge Brigitte Jones fan. It was sad as it's the final chapter and we'll never see Brigitte and Mark on the screens again.
It was very nostalgic to have seen all of the main characters in the film but in a different light. The story is about Brigitte's new role as both a mum and a widow and it has more depth to it compared to the previous films. There are still many funny scenes as Brigitte is still BJ's! Sadly (or happily) there was no chemistry between her and her new lovers/boyfriends. I believe that she will spend the rest of her life, loving and missing Mark Darcy.

However, I feel that perhaps the saga should have ended with Brigitte Jones Baby, where the story had a happy ending and which left the public to its' own imagination of what her life would be like..

I adored the first movie, so I have never seen the sequels and probably won’t, lol. I want to think of them together into old age! 😁

I was looking forward to that film, but I read lots of bad reviews. It is based on a book by Ruth Ware and I liked most of her books. It is a shame as I read it had a good cast.
 
I’m rewatching the Jessie Stone films as a channel is showing one a week. I’m on the third film, but I don’t know how many I’ve seen after this one.

We are finishing off NCIS as I stopped watching it for ages, but keep seeing it when we stay at hotels. After that we might watch Blue Bloods. Started it when it first came out, but stopped. We have a lot of episodes to catch up on.😂

I'm starting a Halloween mood.
Last night I put on "Practical Magic". I LOVE that girly movie.
Now I have on the original "Scream". I was 16 when that movie came out. Nostalgia.
I do LOVE horror movies so much. I think it was our love of cheesy horror movies like "Evil Dead" is why my hub and I started to bond at the beginning of our dating.

yeah because its on my local channels so much I watched ALL of blue bloods for the rest time. By the time I got to the end I was a bit sick of it. but you know - had to finish it.
I've been thinking of strarting NCIS for the same reason. never watched it when it was on but now I keep seeing the commercials for it on the local channels.
 
I finished the book I was reading so decided to watch a movie. I like sci-fi so was looking at those. The one I picked was "Morgan" which was made in 2016 and I never heard of it but it was produced by Ridley Scott. It was about bioengineering people and the experiment went off the rails. There were some faces I recognized but the movie was pretty stupid. LOL I totally guessed the twist almost immediately.
