Ok, so I figured, no time like the present to talk about the movie I just watched. Get this, once I was done watching it, I went back to make a review and Netflix had already removed it. *sad face* But I am so glad I got to see it. This movie was funny and entertaining, and yes, it's about butter. Yes, the stuff you spread on toast. LOL!
So here is Netflix's description:
When a gifted butter sculptor announces his retirement, his ambitious
wife sees her hopes for future fame -- and the presidency -- melt away.
This is the movie in a nutshell, but there is no mention of the cute little orphan girl who steals the show, or the home-wrecker you can't help but love, or the loving foster turned adoptive parents that you just want to pat on the back for a job well done. There is just so much going on in this movie, but it all works. And the characters are all likeable, yes, even that plucky home-wrecker was fun to watch. If anything there was only one person I wanted to pop in the nose because his actions were to hurt someone and though it did slighty derail things, there was a happy ending for everyone. I can't help it, I just love a good movie that ends happy for everyone. Take a look at the trailer below, and can we just comment on how catchy the Butter song is. LOL!
The cast was A-list, and I personally feel the actors and actresses were perfectly picked. However, I did have one tiny issue. Alicia Silverstone...what was with all those crazy faces she was pulling? I mean I do remember some of them in Clueless, but it was like she'd lost control of her face. I kind of think it was part of her character, a naive mom who's not really hip to what's current, is just going with the flow as best as she can. So I can kind of see it, but damn woman, those were not the prettiest of faces. LOL! But I love Alicia, so she gets a pass. ;-) So yeah, if you can rent this movie, or get it on DVD from Netflix, orrrr watch it in any other way you umm tend to watch movies...you naughty thing you, this is so a movie I would suggest. Warning, it has an R rating because there is some raunch in the movie. It's not overly bad, but this is so not a family movie. Keep that in mind if you choose to give it watch.
And that about does it for this post. You might be able to tell kind of what direction I am planning to take this blog. NO, I am not turning it into a movie review blog. In fact, I'll be talking more about dolls and toys again soon. Just going to change things up a bit. Like I said in the last post, new posts explaining it all coming very soon. Until then, be good, take care, and bye for now. :-)
So I do have some posts coming very soon about my blog and the direction I am deciding to take it in. That will be coming in the next day or so. Until then, I thought I'd pop in to mention this cute indie movie I watched tonight called "In A Day". It's a British movie on Netflix that I wasn't sure what to expect when I started watching it. Here's Netflix's description of it:
A struggling London musician meets a quirky stranger who persuades her
to join him in a day of indulgent amusements and stimulating
conversation.
That's a pretty good description of the movie, but I saw it more as a sandwich shop worker ends up having a horrible event happen to her one morning, she comes across a stranger she knows as a regular at her shop, and he turns her day around in more ways than one. Meh, the Netflix description was more poetic about it. LOL! So there is a big secret that is finally revealed at the end of the movie that kind of shocks you but then it kind of all makes sense. And the movie just kind of slowly unfolds in front of you as you follow these two on their day.
This movie is more subtle romantic comedy than your regular mainstream loud and crazy antic rom-coms. I appreciate how it was more of a moving movie than an in your face trying to make you laugh throughout the whole movie kind of movie. I wrote this in my review on Netflix, but I saw it more as your favorite romance novel or chick lit come to life in a movie. It takes you on a fun adventure and leaves you with a smile on your face in the end. Here, take a look at the trailer.
If you are interested in watching this movie and you have a Netflix membership, this movie will be available only until 7/9/14 and it will be taken off the site. It may return later, but if you can, I highly advise you to watch it before then. It's about an hour and a half movie, so a quick simple watch. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :-) I'm off to watch another movie that is being taken off the site today. Wish me luck I get it watched before its removal. I'll post a review on that one tomorrow maybe. I know, you can't wait. :-D
And that's it for this post. Like I said, more posts coming soon, just needed to figure things out first before I came back to blogging. Now I know what I want to do, and I think it will bring life back to the blog as well as to, well, my life. LOL! Oh and I've been having a lot of trouble with spam comments, so comments are on moderation for a bit until I can get more into a blogging flow and can check them more often and delete the spam. So feel free to leave comments and I will approve them and response when I next check in. Talk to you lovelies soon. Take care until then. Bye for now.
So I am so not up on the latest coming
out of Hollywood, but I just found an article on Buzzfeed showing off
the movie posters for this movie, Oz The Great And Powerful. I thought I had heard about an Oz
movie coming out, but then it slipped my mind until today. These
posters are really mesmerizing and beautiful. Take a look.
But here's my question, is it a comedic
drama, or a comedy. In watching the trailers, I can truly see how
music sets the mood. In the first trailer, you get a very epic Harry
Potter-ish feel. You just know this is going to be “the” fight of
good vrs. evil. But in the second video, it seems almost like a
Beetljuice kind of creepy comedy. Now I truly believe the tone will
be more like Alice In Wonderland where it's more of an epic drama
with funny bits thrown in, but the last trailer just throws me off
the track. Perhaps that is what they want. It seems Disney is trying
to hide the fact about who will become the Wicked Witch, so maybe
these trailers are to throw you off how the movie will really be,
thus making you want to see it to satisfy your curiosity. Just my
guess. Take a look at the trailers to see what I mean.
So it seems this will be a story about
Oz himself and how he becomes Oz. It also seems to show the
background story of the witches and about who becomes the Wicked
Witch. Now being a fan of Wicked, this story kinds of throws me off
as well. I mean, I thought we knew who was the Wicked Witch. Yes,
while Oz is the same world in a lot of stories, I guess it can be a
different universe for others to play in. So I get it, but still,
throws off everything I've believed up until now. LOL! So it does
have me curious about Disney's vision on which witch is which. LOL!
So, any of you interested in this new tale of Oz? Do you plan to see
the movie? I think this movie will be a "wait for it to come out on
DVD" for me, but I am still curious to see it. :-)
I just wanted to share this fun find
with you guys. Anyone else seeing Oz dolls in our near future? I
wonder what they will look like? Mattel did amazing with Johnny Depp
with their Alice In Wonderland dolls and Pirates of the Caribbean
dolls, so I'm sure the Oz dolls will be amazing as well. And who
knows, maybe new held sculpts? Only time will tell. And on that note
I am off peeps. I will talk to you lovely people later. Be good until
then. Bye for now.
So while in Jackson Pearce’s live chat tonight, one of the chatters mentioned the Lifetime movie “Magic Beyond Words: The J. K. Rowling Story”. Bet you can’t guess what it was about. Here’s a hint, it had something to do with Harry Potter. Anyway, this person said it was amazing and posted a link to Lifetime’s website to watch it. I headed on over there, because I’m so interested in Rowling and how she went from hard times to successful living. I’ve just finished the movie and while it was a wee bit corny with a bit of “Hollywood” magic thrown in there to make the story “pop” more, it was pretty good. I saw I didn’t have all my facts straight on her previous life before Harry fandom and was in more awe to see what she went through and how everything just came to be.
Watching this movie made me see that I should keep going with my writing. I’m rusty with it, at best, but I’m doing it. One word at a time. So I’ve decided to finish the novel I am working on now, work on a second novel for Camp Nanowrimo for August, and then I am returning to my original novel “Jumper”. It’s kind of weird, but from watching the movie I think I see why it didn’t flow so well. My characters aren’t right. Their ages are off, and there story is off a bit too. But now thier story is coming to me. While I never got “Jumper” out of my mind, I hadn’t been actively writing it in my head like I used to. Now I’m back to mentally making notes and I take this as a sign as I am finally ready to write Andrea’s and Max’s story. So come September I will start fully outlining it for two months and then hopefully write it all for Nanowrimo in November. Here’s hoping.
And that’s about it. I’m going to go work on my novel for this month, I slacked off the last two days so I only roughly have 2 days to finish it. Talk about pressure, but I tend to write better under pressure. Go figure. LOL! And hey, are you interested in watching that J. K. Rowling movie? Check it out here. Not sure if you can watch it outside of the States, so sorry if you can’t. Enjoy it and I will talk to you guys real soon. Be good until then. Bye for now.
So at the suggestion of John on his blog I decided to watch Marwencol. In just the first few seconds of the movie I was in awe of what this man had put together. It was amazing and just put me into the time and story he was trying to tell with his dolls/figures. But then it hit me. Anyone outside of the hobby would think this guy had gone off his rocker completely. I mean a grown man playing in his backyard with toys...not too sane, right? But from a person's pov in the hobby, I just found it so mesmerizing and I wanted to check out the actual place so badly. However, after the first few seconds we learn that the town came to be because of mental issues that the man, named Mark, was facing and dealing with.
Just watched this movie and thought I’d share it with you all. It’s about a young in 1978 in Iran and things that happen in her life up to about 1994. I found this view of Iran and the version seen from a young girl to be interesting. The movie starts the year I was born so it was extra interesting to see how she lived and to think back to how I lived back then and just can’t even begin to imagine how she handled all she went through. It’s really an amazing peek in a part of the world many of us may not know about. Enjoy.
Hey guys! So I wanted to pop on and say hi and tell you a bit about my morning. Ok, so I live in a military town. And what some of you may not know about military town living is that you have to put up with military games. So if the info I got was right, it seems we had some marines visiting us this past weekend and the military base had military games going on. Now at any given time you will hear or see results of the military doing practice. You hear booming, you hear the machine guns, you feel your house shaking, you see glass panes bending back and forth from the pressure of bombs dropping. And that, like I said, is on any given day. But during military games? OMGGGGGG!!! The other day the house was shaking non-stop and vibrating from the bombs they were dropping. And it wasn’t every few minutes either. It was a constant drop of bombs for a good couple of minutes. Well that was about as bad as it got this weekend, but they still had bombing throughout the past couple of days. And if there is one thing one of my dogs hates more than anything, it’s loud unexplained booms. Oh heck, he hates loud explained booms too. This lead to a rather interesting morning for me.
I don’t know why I am on such a movie posting kick as of late, but I wanted to share with you guys one more movie I have watched recently. 1984’s “Night of the Comet”. I found it on Youtube and it’s still as awesome as it was back then, just a little less scary. It’s about a comet flying over the Earth and the crazy stuff that happens after it passes by. Enjoy.
So I have “known” of Georgy Girl since I was child. My mom has had this album by The Seekers for forever. She would let me borrow her records and along with the Mamas and Papas this record always came to my room with me. I don’t recall many of the other songs on this album except maybe one or two others, but Georgy Girl I would listen to over and over again. I would sing and dance along with this song and at my young age feel they were talking about me. Can you tell who didn’t have high self esteem as a kid? LOL! Here’s the song if you are interested.
Well when I grew older I learned from my mom the song was for a movie called Georgy Girl, that I found out when I grew even older was based off of a book called Georgy Girl. My mom told me about the movie and well, I had to watch it. It was from the 1960s, it was British, and it was that corny camp kind of movie I love, so I HAD to watch it. Speaking of watching, and totally off the topic, the other day I watched a video online of Soleil Moon Frye dressed up as Punky Brewster…as in at her age now, to say thanks to her million Twitter followers. It was a bit corny and camp as well. Don’t know why that came to mind. But moving back to Georgy Girl.
*Warning, I am going to talk about the movie so there are spoilers ahead.* So in short this movie is a about a girl named Georgy, third person to the right in the picture, who lives with her best friend Meredith, second person to the right. Meredith dates Jos, first person on the left. Georgy’s parents work for James, guy on the right, because basically they fell on hard times and he hired them as help in his mansion, oh did I mention James was rich, and he helped raise Georgy by paying for schooling for her and making a studio for her in his house so she can give dance classes to children. So the going thing in the movie is Georgy is a fat ugly nobody while Meredith is a thin sexy somebody. Jos comes over to pick Meredith up for dates and sometimes has to wait while Meredith is out on another date. During this time Georgy keeps him company. They are friends even though he calls her names like Fat Face and constantly remarks on her large body…which is easily a 12-14 in US sizing. Well while all that is going on, James…the rich guy, is dealing with the fact that not only is his wife ill and refusing to go to the doctor for help but try to heal herself on her own but he also is seeing he cares for Georgy in more than a fatherly way. One night when she shows up for a party he gives her a shocking proposal that she avoids giving her answer on for a while. She avoids James as much as possible while she deals with new issues popping up in her life with a pregnancy, a marriage, a divorce, an adoption, a death, and then another marriage. Whew, girl is busy. In the end Georgy ends up kind of where she wanted. I feel she would have preferred a different outcome but it gave her what she wanted…kind of.
I know I left out some of the bits and pieces, but I figured I would just in case you want to watch the movie. And since I aim to please, here’s the movie. You can either watch it down below or click here for a slightly bigger screen or so you can watch it full screen. It’s a little over an hour and half. Enjoy. If you like old movies, British movies, or old British movies you’ll love Georgy Girl.
Yeah, I know the video window is big, but I didn’t want to mess up the viewing of the movie if you decided to watch it on my blog. So I sacrifice for all of you. Talk to you guys soon. Be good until then.
So I am chatting with my friend Kenny and he and I were thinking back on the cartoons we used to love as a kid. We shared some Youtube videos of some of a our fave shoes, and that led me to He-man and She-ra…both of which I loved. In searching for She-ra I found the “Secret of the Sword” movie on Youtube. Not sure if any of you will get a kick out of seeing it, but here’s the first part of it. To get to the other parts either double click on the video to get to it’s Youtube page and go from there or it should show up as a video option after part one ends. Hope you enjoy. I surely am. I feel like a kid again. :-)
Yep, I watched it. It’s a guilty pleasure, what can I say? Ok, so one thing bothering me is the fact that the vampires are killed by breaking them like fine china and then burning them. Umm…yeah that was just kind of stupid to me. But whatevs. Now I won’t give too much of a review on this movie since it’s still new. I will say I heard it is closer to the book than previous movies, have not read it yet so I can’t say for sure. When I finally do read it I will let you know.
The movie tied up a lot of loose ends and now we are kind of left with “and they lived happily ever after”, but of course there is another movie that will change that. Watching the movie makes me want to get back to reading so I can find out what happens. Very excited to find out. Let me say that while the writing is not all that and some of the things in the books seems kind of hokey, if you take all that away and just look at the plot it is rather interesting. But this is Stephenie Meyer’s pretend world that she invited us into, so who are we to say it’s wrong. I know if I ever get published that people will say the same about my pretend world so I try not to be to cruel when talking about other’s.
But back to the movie, it starts with a “scary” death, then we meet up with the lovebirds. All is well with them until oh noes Alice sees something. Then it’s all about saving and protecting Bella. Then uh-oh, love triangle! Who didn’t see that coming?!? Then a fight ensues. Ahhh! The the day is saved and Bella lives to tempt and tease Edward and Jacob another day. Oh yeah and Edward and Bella are getting married. What? I had to drop some spoiler didn’t I? :-)
Ok, I need to stop watching movies and go to bed. I’m thinking when I wake up I will watch Toy Story 3. I heard it was super sad at the end. I’m up for a good cry. :-) Ok, bye for now kids. Be good.
Ok, so a while back I posted about how I wanted to see the movie “I Love You Phillip Morris”. Well I saw one of the lovely gals I watch on Youtube had seen it this weekend online and I just decided on a whim to watch it while I waited for my tummy to settle. I am so glad I watched it. At first I thought it would be weird seeing my Ewan act as a gay man, but in all honestly he did a great job as well as Jim. The movie mostly revolved around Jim’s character.
The movie is loosely based on the actions of real life conman Steven Jay Russell. This movie is a laugh riot. So the summary of the movie is that Steven learns as a child that he’s adopted. This news led to him wanting to find his birth mother so he became a police officer to search through databases to learn where she is. Well she’s right in town so he tracks her down but she refuses to talk to him. So he picks up his family and moves them away to start a new life. He gets a job at Costco and this is where things get interesting. We see a scene where it looks like Steven is making love to his wife but it turns out it’s a man. Yep, he’s gay, and he’s known it since he was a kid picking out male organs in the clouds. Yeah this will mean something to you by the end of the movie. All is fine and dandy for him, he has his wife and daughter and then lies to her and goes to be with his boyfriends. That works out fine until one night on the way home he gets hit by a car. It’s at this point he decides to live his life the way he wants to. Out and proud! And it’s from this point that his life really begins to roller coaster. This movie is mostly on the high and funny side, but there is one low side that almost brings a tear to your eye but it is saved quickly and have you laughing your butt off again. Trust me on this.
I won’t say more so I don’t ruin it for you. Honestly I haven’t told you much. Watch the movie, it is really funny. No, this is so not a movie for the kids or anyone who is prudish. Just keep that in mind before you watch. Enjoy and tell me how you like it. :-)
Ok, so I haven't gone to the movies recently, but I did recently watch some movies. The following movies I watched in the past week a couple of months ago during the week of January 4th...man I shouldn't let drafts get so old. Anyway, these movies are mostly old ones that I had never seen before. So here go the reviews!
The first movie I watched was "Fiddler on the Roof" I had heard this was a great classic movie, and I have to agree, it was. Now I must warn you, this movie is LONGGGG. Over 3 hours I believe. So get comfy with this one. It's so worth the watch. The story centers on the life of a Jewish man named Tevye. Tevye is very much about his family traditions, but as times are quickly changing, he finds himself having to be a bit lenient on his traditions to please his family and in the end please himself.
I love how this man loves to break down the fourth wall. It's never just you alone in the room watching this movie. Oh no. Tevye makes sure you are included in on the fun. LOL! He talks out his problems with you to help him come to a conclusion. The decision making of course always starts with TRADITION! Get used to that. No, literally. He yells it several times throughout the movie.
Tevye and his family are poor, but he gets by and doesn't complain...much. He does have a song and dance about what his life would be like if he were a rich man, but that's about the extent of it.
Now, the fiddler part. I'm going to nab a part from Wiki that better explains it. I loved the fiddler because of the symbolism he stood for. He was in the very final scene of the movie to remind Tevye as well as us that no matter where we go, we still face the same issues in life but we just need to do our best to deal with it and keep carrying on. The following is how the Wiki describes it.
The film begins with Tevye explaining to the audience that what keeps the Jews of Anatevka going is the balance they achieve through following their ancient traditions. He also explains that the lot of the Jews in Russia is as precarious as a fiddler on a roof: trying to eke out a pleasant tune, while not breaking their necks. The fiddler appears throughout the film as a metaphoric reminder of the Jews' ever-present fears and danger.
Just before the closing credits, Tevye spots the fiddler and motions to him to come along, and the film ends with the fiddler following Tevye down the road, playing the "Tradition" theme.
Now the music from the movie was amazing. Beautiful songs that you fall in love with honestly. They songs themselves told the story and made you feel for the characters.
All-in-all, the movie is a very touching and also intense movie about life and prejudice and how it effects those that are the subject of it. Very good movie. On a scale of one to ten, one being worse and ten being best, I give this movie a 10.
This movie is another great movie. Though not nearly as long as Fiddler, this movie still has a lot of story in with plenty of comedy. The movie is basically about how the company that makes a silent film series called "The Dueling Cavalier" is faced with the reality that silent films are a thing of the past and movies with sound, talkies, are the new rage. However, they have one tiny problem. The leading lady of their films makes scratching on a chalkboard sound like sweet music when she talks. Uh oh. What do they do now?
Well the star of their series, Don Lockwood, meets a young lady by the name of Kathy Selden when he unexpectedly jumps into her car to escape a mob of fans. They don't hit things off on the right foot, but he can't get her out of his mind. He moans about "the one that got away" to his best pal Cosmo Brown, who I think is the real cutie of the show. Cosmo does the music for the silent movies and has worked along side Don since they were kids. He vows to help Don find his leading lady, that is until she walked into set that day for a job. She gets the job but turns it down once she sees Don is involved. A few songs and dances are involved over the next part, but the three become friends after it all. It was then that Cosmo discovers the solution to their problem with leading lady Lina Lamont's "lovely" voice. Can anyone say voice over? A few more songs and dances happen, some conflict, and the story ends happily as most movies from that time did.
This movie was a nice lighthearted movie that made you smile, laugh, and maybe even swoon a little over the cuties in the movie. I give this movie on a scale of 1 to 10 with one being worse and 10 being best a 9. It was a very interesting movie with great music, great dancing, and an interesting plot. The plot was very overdone back in those times, but still a very nicely pulled off plot. The reason I gave it a 9 is because some of the songs are very drawn out and very slowly. Kind of made the story a big sluggish in pace. But other than that I loved the movie.
Can't find an embed link on any of the videos, so you will have to go to the video on YouTube. Click here to watch "Make'em Laugh" sung by Cosmo.
The next movie I watched was "For Me and My Gal". It's about a guy and gal vaudeville act. They are trying so hard to get their act into the Palace Theater on Broadway. When it finally happens, the guy, Harry Palmer, gets drafted into the Army to go fight in World War I. But Harry just can't miss this opportunity. Him and his gal pal, Jo Hayden, worked to hard to give up now. In order to get out of the draft Harry figures out a plan to hurt himself and disfigure himself. On the way to tell Jo that they can still do the Palace Theater gig Jo gets a telegram telling her that her only brother and only sibling died in the war. Crying her heart out Harry comes to tell her "the good news". When Jo figures out what he did she ends the act right there. Harry sees what a mess he made of things and tries to fix unsuccessfully until one night an opportunity presents itself and he takes it. It ends very happily and the two live happily ever after.
This movie is a very cute musical with a lighthearted story. It had it's sad moments but for the most part it was a cheery story that's sure to make you smile. On a scale of one to ten with one being worse and ten being best I give it an 8. The movie was very good, just not 10 good. It had it's sluggish slow parts and sometimes the plot felt holey, but for the most part a very good movie.
The next movie I watched was "Julie and Julia". I know, woo hoo a modern movie! ;-) I had wanted to see this movie since last year when it came out two days before my birthday. But of course I wasn't feeling well due to the tummy so I missed out. Also no one wanted to see it with me and going to the movies alone just plan sucks. So I waited until I got a chance to see it. It was so worth the wait.
Can I just say they picked the two perfect actresses to play Julie and Julia. I love them both and they just told the story perfectly. Love, love, love, love, love! Ok so the story is pretty simple. Julie is a striving writer. She works at a heartbreaking and sometimes heart-wrenching job answering phone calls from and for victims of 9/11. She finds herself in a rut. Unable to get published and working in a job that is killing her spirit. It's then that her husband suggests she get a hobby. She thinks about it and finds out one of her friends has a popular blog. she feels she could blog and blogging would make her a writer. But what does she blog about? Her hubby gives her suggestions and she finally comes up with the idea to blog about cooking since she loves it so much and it takes her away from her daily troubles. She decides to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". Enter Julia's side of the story.
Julia is with her husband in Paris. He's there on business and she's just...well...there. She doesn't have a hobby or anything. She tries to decide what she could do. She tries several things but they just don't click. It's not until she noticed that she loved french food and eating that she decided to learn how to cook french cuisine. Yum. She starts off at a ladies school and finds that she is not challenged enough so she goes to the male school. I believe it was military men learning how to cook. She learns to become fearless in her cooking and begins to learn what she coveted most, the art of french cooking. After her classes she meets some lovely ladies who are trying to create what Julia wanted, a simple English french cooking cookbook. But the publishers did not think it was clear cut enough and Julia stepped in to help them. She "dumbed down" the book and made it perfect for the English speaking audience.
The two ladies' stories are interwoven together throughout the movie and they moved back and forth seamlessly. It ends happily with Julia getting her book published and Julie reaching her goal and going to the Smithsonian to see Julia's actual kitchen, leaving her a keepsake...a stick of butter. *tear*
Loved this movie. The only sad part was Julia saw what Julie was doing as a joke and was turned off by her. So Julie never got to meet Julia, but she had her Julia in her head and was happy with that. She still loved Julia through it all and that made it all better. :-)
On a scale of one to ten with one being worse and ten being best I give this movie a 10. Sweet movie, with great actresses and actors, and a seamless transition. It's a must watch.
No embed video links so you will have to go to YouTube to see a video of the movie. Click here to see a clip of Julie and Julia. Bon Appetit!
The final and I think the best movie I watched in this particular week was "Bringing Up Baby". This movie is CRAZY. It stars Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant. This movie was one of those that was way before it's time. It was not well accepted and critics said Katherine Hepburn was horrible at comedy and slapstick. I so disagree. Katherine Hepburn did wonderful in this movie. I laughed my rear off at this movie. And Cary Grant was perfect too. The two worked perfectly off their delivery.
So what's the cra-cra movie about? At first it's about Cary Grant's character David Huxley is a paleontologist that for several years has been trying to put together the skeleton of a Brontosaurus, but he is sadly missing one piece of it. At the beginning of the story he happily learns from his fiancee it was found in a dig and it was on the way to him. With that problem off his shoulders her had his looming nuptials as well as a golfing appointment with the man who could donate a million dollars to his museum. When he makes his appointment on the golf course this is where he makes the unfortunate acquaintance of one Miss Susan Vance, Katherine Hepburn's character. This is where all of David's troubles started. She ruined his golf game and stole his car, along with him. Gotta watch the movie to understand that last part.
After recouping from the golf disaster, David arranges a dinner to meet again with his hopeful donator. Only one problem. He once again runs into Susan who once again manages to cause him trouble. She continues to cause her trouble until the end of the evening where David hoped he had seen the last of her. Nope. He gets a call from Susan the next day who explains that she has a baby leopard in her apartment. Enter Baby. From this point on Susan and David go through one crazy mishap after another from trying to get Baby to a much safer place, to losing the coveted Brontosaurus bone back from a dog, to getting arrested, to ending the day on a good note after surviving an encounter with a leopard that just happened to not Baby and very wild. In the end Susan and David end up happy but not without one more mishap on Susan's behalf. Very funny stuff in this movie and it's sad it didn't do well in it's time. It severely affect Hepburn's career as well as the director of the film. Very sad. But I guess better late than never. This movie is loved by many now and is definitely at the top of my list.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being worse and 10 being best I give this movie a 10. It purely a classic movie and so funny it will have you in giggling at all the crazy stuff these two characters go through. Katherine Hepburn reminds me so much of Parker Posey in this movie, especially from Party Girl.
Well that is my long-winded post on the movies I watched several months ago and actually MEANT to post about, but got lazy and didn't. *sigh* I so need to keep on the ball more with these posts. Oh well, better late than never. Wait, that's the second time I've said that in this post. Yep, time to close this post. Bye for now kids.
So while I was hoping around the interwebs this evening I found myself on Perez Hilton by accident...hate that site. But in going there I saw he had posted the original Alice in Wonderland movie. It's a restored version of the original. I thought you all would get a kick out of seeing it. Enjoy. I'm off to finally respond back to comments I've missed while being sick. Finally feeling better. I should be all healthy by next week. Woot!
The Princess and The Frog is now one of my favortie Disney movies. The movie is so sweet and funny. There was a sad part at the end that kind of turned happy making it bittersweet. I am so glad Disney did this 2d movie. It reminded me of my childhood and watching other Disney movies, and well I like 2d better than 3d. It seems more detail goes into 2d and I will forever heart Disney for making this movie. You must get out there and see this movie...or umm if you are low in funds you can do it another way. Just sayin. But this movie cheered up my day some and now I am off to bed to get a few hours of sleep and get things back on track later on today. Just had to pop on and say I love this movie and I am so getting a doll from this movie. I will be hitting Toys R Us this week, I hope they still have some. I must have one. Ok, night guys. Bye for now.
I was just thinking about this today and I was going to mention it last night. Watching Ponyo last night, I noticed the license plate on Lisa's car and laughed. The number on her plate? 333. LOL! I kid you not. I wish I knew why 333 was such a thing with me. I wonder what will happen at 3:33 or what that number means to me? Guess I will find out one day. I kind of think it will be the time that will be called when I pass away when I'm a weak and sick little old lady of 99. Or maybe the time my first child will be born. My winning lottery number perhaps? Meh, I guess I'll have to wait and see. But just wanted to share that with you. Working on my beads some more. I want to finish them so I can get that off my back. They keep calling to me to finish them. Once I finish them I can move on to something else. Oh, I've decided to take a picture of my work space. You've seen it in some of my pictures. I won't take pictures of the room or my room because they are just a mess...which reminds me, I should throw a load of laundry in the wash. I'll do that now and make some cocoa for my empty stomach. I'm fasting today because food is making me so sick. Anyway.
Oh, I wanted to mention something interesting I saw on the news the other day. Its seems the city I live in is one of the top three cities in the US that will be offering a lot of jobs next year due to the military getting bigger here over the next few years. Also my city is 31st in the US to be growing economically. I am shocked because I just thought my little city was kind of boring with nothing exciting about it, but that is actually exciting news. I plan to try to get back into the work force next year part time, and this is good news. I hope that I will feel better next year so I can take advantage of the jobs coming into town. Fingers crossed. Ok, I'm off now. Laundry and some more cocoa. Bye for now ladies and gents.
That had to be the most ridiculously cute movie I have seen in a long while. I wanted little Ponyo for myself. She's so adorable. I think I must get another Bobobie Sprite and make it into Ponyo. :-) Well I am off to try to get some sleep. Good night, good morning, and good afternoon depending on where you are.
Anyway, this person said it was amazing and posted a link to Lifetime’s website to watch it. I headed on over there, because I’m so interested in Rowling and how she went from hard times to successful living. I’ve just finished the movie and while it was a wee bit corny with a bit of “Hollywood” magic thrown in there to make the story “pop” more, it was pretty good. I saw I didn’t have all my facts straight on her previous life before Harry fandom and was in more awe to see what she went through and how everything just came to be.
