We watched ‘Definitely Maybe’ (Craig’s choice) and ‘The Stone Angel‘ (my choice) this weekend and enjoyed both movies. ‘Definitely Maybe’ is a romantic comedy(not normally my favourite type of movie) but is a really lovely story. Ryan Reynolds plays such a likeable guy, Will Hayes, who is a 30-something Manhattan dad in the midst of a divorce. His 10 year old daughter, Maya(lovely name – except for the fact that it means Illusion in Sanskrit), starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. The other movie The Stone Angel was a bit on the heavy side and not everyone’s cup of tea, but very good. It starred Ellen Page and the very sexy Cole Hauser. Ellen plays the feisty aging Hagar Shipley . As one review says, “Her rebellious heart has always ruled and her choices have put her at odds with family and friends. Faced with her own mortality, and desperate to find solace, she goes on the run. But haunting memories of the life she has led, the men she has passionately loved yet destroyed with her unrelenting pride, and the sons she has estranged catch up to Hagar on this momentous journey. In both the past and the present, she is forced to come to terms with the pain and pleasure, the disappointments and the exhilarations of her life. Based on the best selling novel by Margaret Laurence.”
