Netflix Stars - A Good Year

We watched "A Good Year" last night and gave it 5 stars! Netflix recommended it with a shooting star icon because we liked the following movies: Under the Tuscan Sun...Elizabethtown...The Wedding Date...Pride and Prejudice...Stick It...The Lake House...You've Got Mail

If you did, too, then you'll probably enjoy renting this. Directed by Ridley Scott (!), you've got Russell Crowe, Albert Finney and several promising actor unknowns. Oh, one of the supporting parts is played well by the older sister from "Bend it Like Beckham." The scenery is gorgeous. The pool scene-hysterical! Under special features, be sure to check out the fun promo interview with Russell and Ridley. They riff together pretty well. On the other hand, skip the Music Videos section. Russell, stick with your acting career and leave the singing alone. Seriously, everyone yelled, "Stop it!" as I fast-forwarded to 2 of the 3 songs and left the third unplayed. . .
