For a taste of these two stars I watched The Next Best Thing and Puss in Boots. Both enjoyable movies. Madonna, although known for her musical career is also a believable actress. The next best thing has a modern story - a gay man and a straight woman parenting another man's child until her right man came along. Such a complicated mess. I feel as if we glorify this 'forward' thinking in relationships, but at the same time we acknowledge the painful and harmful complexity. What a sinful mess our world and our hearts are.
Puss in Boots with Billy Bob Thornton playing Mr. Jack, was a fun movie, but not one of my favourite animated films. A remake of Jack and the Beanstalk with a few other fairy tales twined in, it had some funny notes, but nothing to make me want to watch again.
