Fever Pitch (2005)
My kind of film
If you want to watch something that is for 'him' and 'her' so to say then this is the film to pick. I am a sucker for rom coms but my husband is not always so keen (what a guy!!!). Anyway I managed to get him to watch it because I told him it was about sport, and you know what, he loved it!!!
Drew Barrymore is very funny and her leading man (sorry but can't remember his name) is equally as good. When I watched the film it was called 'The Perfect Match' but I think the title was changed for the UK as it is based on the book Fever Pitch and there was already a film made about football with that title (the same film but the UK version - phew!),
Anyway all of the reviews on here will tell you more details if you need them buy girls, take it from me, get your hubby/boyfriend in front of the television on a Saturday night and you will both laugh and cry together. A real gem.
Baby Einstein Language Nursery (1996)
OK but not amazing!
As a new mother I am always on the lookout for ways to improve my babies life and I had heard a lot about the Baby Einstein range of DVD's. I think this title, 'Language Nursery' is one of the older ones but considering my baby has not seen any of them I don't think this really mattered.
When we put the DVD on I must admit that I thought there was a problem with the sound until I realised that the voices were speaking in different languages on purpose! There were some nice but basic images for my son to look at but it was the words I could not get my head around.
At 6 months old my son can just about manage a few gurgles let alone anything that resembles an actual word. He is bobarded with adult voices all day (in English) which I imagine is confusing enough so I just didn't understand why you would want to make it even more difficult by adding a million other languages to the equation. Did anyone else feel this?
Anyway he did not seem too interested in the visuals and after about 10 minutes or so we switched it off. We did try a few more times to watch it but he was not a fan. Oh well, will try another one of the range, there's sure to be one he likes as everyone else seems to!
