Movie choice

AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN (1982) 15 9PM, 5STAR

★★★★

Richard Gere and Debra Winger made daydreamers of uniform-lovers in this militarythemed romantic drama.

Gere is the aloof cadet whose arrogance and coolness finally dissolve to the surging strains of Up Where We Belong.

That scene, oft-parodied, is guaranteed to give you a lift.

★★★★ This witty romcom stars Joseph Fiennes as Shakespeare (right), a handsome young man with writer’s block. To his rescue comes Gwyneth Paltrow’s Viola, who inspires the Bard in more ways than one.

Asim Chaudhry and soap survivor Hayley Tamaddon. ★★★

Jason Bateman and Melissa Mccarthy team up for this comedy which sounds great on paper, but stays lukewarm. Bateman is the man chasing Mccarthy’s criminal when she steals his identity.
