Birthday presents, viewed and reviewed

I'd had a bunch of DVDs on my wishlist for quite a while, and received four of them for my birthday. We've watched three (the fourth, Belle, is one I've seen before and enjoyed enough to want to watch again). I don't know how old they are (well, I could check, but I'm too lazy), or whether they were a Big Deal when released or just slipped out and away without fanfare. However, I enjoyed them all, perhaps not least from having no idea at all what they were about before I watched.

So, a handful of brief reviews. I'll put under a cut for those of you who don't care!

Anything Goes (Better when Your Man Smells Like Old Spice)

I just found this lurking on my desktop—who knows how long it has been there—and I don't seem to have posted it, so what the hell. Not so much a fic as an arrangement of several Cole Porter songs.
