Cool Britannia

WHAT A PRETTY PUSSYCAT: I have a love affair with the '60s and '70s, as I'm sure most people my age do. Everything just seemed so much cooler back then, with the exception of mustard yellow kitchen appliances and fashion inspired by astronaut's wives. So it was with great excitement that I watched Woody Allen's "What's New Pussycat?", from 1965. The film starts slow and only picks up in the last 30 minutes, but it is a treasure of sixties style. From the Burt Bacharach-penned theme song sung by Tom Jones to the bevy of beautiful ladies outfitted in great get-ups, it's an aesthetic treat. Especially love the young Peter O'Toole and the always glamourous Capucine. Meow.

Bikinis or bust

TLC's new Friday night staple is yet another reality show about a C-list celebrity trying to make it big through the small screen. Ashley Paige is a mildly famous bikini designer who is struggling financially, trying to find a backer and, of course, a boyfriend. She's annoying, bitchy, opinionated and therefore, perfect for the medium. If you have nothing better to do it's worth a watch, but if not, definitely tune this one out.

She's more than Johnny Depp's girlfriend

GIRL, INTERRUPTED: I've been trying to watch the movie "Cache," starring Daniel Auteuil for a couple of weeks, but keep falling asleep. That was definitely not the case with his film "Girl on the Bridge," which is also one of my all-time favorite movies. Also starring Vanessa Paradis, the film is about two down-on-their-luck souls whose chance meeting turns their lives around. Auteuil plays a knife-thrower, and Paradis his target. The two meet when she's about to throw herself off the Pont Neuf in Paris, at which point Auteuil offers her a job as his target, as he hasn't been an accurate shot lately. With killer songs by Marianne Faithfull, Auteiul is the only thing that misses in this French flick.
