  1. I saw 4 including top 3. no 10s, no 9s, no favorites, two 8s semi tough her box office leader, and first Monday in October. I missed her 2 best actress Oscar nominations, I will add them to my watchlist.

    bridesmaids a 2, chick flick based on adolescent humor, it missed me. if ever watched when I am in the mood might get a better rating, could soar to a two and a half..

As for her two nominated performances….An Unmarried Woman is considered her best work….but I would rather watch Starting Over more….it is lighter….and has a good Burt Reynolds performance.
