My good friend, Dom, let me borrow a few of his movies yesterday. August Rush, The Kite Runner, Lars and the Real Girl and King of California. Last night I made a point to sit down and watch a movie. Everyone else was outside playing or visiting - I too wanted to go outside but I haven't sat down and watched a movie that I wanted to in a long time. Lately it's been a movie that Tyler chooses or Spike TV, Food network, or some other reality show that Brian likes to watch. Tonight - it was all about me!
With that I choose to watch August Rush whiling painting my nails! (Something else I haven't done in a long long while) I was very excited to watch it since it's been on my list to see since before it came out to theatres last year. I like Keri Russell (and now Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his sexy accent and mesmerising eyes!) And I absolutely fell in love with the way Reese is spelled - quick give me a dog or a child so that I can use that name too. Having just watched P.S. I Love You (wait - didn't I just say I haven't watched a movie in a while? OK, I must have let this one slip my mind. But that too was over Memorial Day weekend so it's been a while! ; )) I'm beginning to enjoy hearing these lovely accents in movies even though one is from Scotland and the other from Ireland. - I'm not picky!
I'm not great like Dom when it comes to writing reviews for movies because I know that I'm going to jump around (my ADD kicks in) even before I begin to write. Therefore if you are interested in the plot click the link above. I'm afraid that I'll mention spoilers so my preference is to discuss a movie with people that have already seen it. Ty did start out watching it with me but after 15 mins - he was done - It was moving too slow for him. I liked the movie but didn't love it as much as I thought I was going to. I felt some parts moved too slow and others they didn't take enough time in. From the preview I thought Wizard (play by Robin Williams) was going to be a nice guy. Far from it - I can't like him playing a rotten creep! I like him as Mork or Mrs Doubtfire... This movie had me on an emotional roller coaster. We're talking Mamba baby and I've never ridden that. Headaches & stomach turning... I was completely exhausted after the 2 hour experience (big sigh). And the ending?! What the hell!?
Damn straight - I felt I was left hanging. There was so much more they could have added to. Maybe it's me, maybe I missed the point. Not that I missed the point of the movie but I think I was looking for more of a love story. - It's a love story in a sense - but not the story I had preconceived in my head. Oh yes, the water works were on. (Quick somebody send me an e-mail survey so that I can mark that last night was the last time I cried) All in all it was a good movie. I think I'm going to watch Lars and the Real Girl next. My nails need a second coat.
This made me laugh out loud this morning, a joke my mom sent me... (I hope she knows better if Ty ever came to her with this questions! ;))
Grandmas Don't Know Everything
He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he
came into the house and asked her, 'Grandma, what's that called
when two people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?'
She was a little taken aback, but she decided to just tell him the
truth. 'It's called sexual intercourse, darling.'
Little Tony just said, 'Oh, OK,' and went back outside to play
with the other kids.
A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, 'Grandma, it
isn't called sexual intercourse. It's called bunk beds. And Jimmy's
mom wants to talk to you.'

There you go, can't liking something again! LOL. Cleaning houses would be fun and I have heard you can make some real good cachiiiing doing it. I may have to think about that! The only place I have seen Keri Russell is on Perez and TMZ....I think she is so gosh darn cute! The joke at the end was funny! Too cute! Hey, btw, 4th of July, Sherry and her family is going to be in Las Vegas but we could do something with our parents over there if you want. Does Linds want to come too?
