So, I watched the 1984 Footloose tonight thinking it would be cringe. I was elementary age when it came out so I did not know if I idealized this movie. Man I was right as a kid, it was good! … Continue reading

So, I took myself to see “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris”, on Sunday at 9:55 a.m. The 7 dollars I paid for the early bird show was beyond a steal. Several minutes into the plot, I began to feel myself … Continue reading
Earlier tonight, it was awesome to introduce Jurassic Park to my daughter and only for .99! It wasn’t bad for a couple of hours of entertainment. Now I am watching Muriel’s Wedding and it is for free:) and I completely forgot how much I love this movie! I have always felt a bit like Muriel. I don’t seem to fit well into any category. I don’t get along well with sorority types, but I don’t hang out with people who take a ride on the wild side either.
I am super-duper into R&B and old skool hip hop, but I love high tea and pearls. It’s like I am a walking contradiction or oxymoron. I did not fare well growing up in the south. I was just too different. Too outspoken. Not in agreement with a lot of the close minded people walking around in a stupor.
How in the world did I get on this subject just because of Amazon Prime? That is the beauty of movies. We can find ourselves in the characters and realize that the stories are inspired by people who have similar struggles or viewpoints or lives. Now I can say for a fact that I am not as irresponsible as Muriel, but there is a real free spirit in her that I would love to be.
Anyway, whatever you are doing tonight, enjoy and try to get more rest that I will.:) Father’s Day tomorrow. Ugh… i haven’t spoken to mine in over 20 years. Correction. He hasn’t spoken to me. My ex will come to hang with my daughter. I am only praying he doesn’t try to bring her around the girlfriend. I have shielded my daughter from that kind of drama and I hope tomorrow is not the day when he decides to test things.
Good night!

First off, I did not know (Or maybe I did but forgot), that I could watch a movie On Demand when it is out at the theater. Pretty cool. The movie had some funny parts, but it did not match up to all of the controversy behind it in my opinion. It was that typical “white boy humor” as people call it. I could see some frat guys watching it while at a kegger. Not that I don’t have a sense of humor, I love the Hangover and Bridesmaids-at least I did the first few times.
Anyway, I thought it was going to be super phenomenal. Maybe that is the reason that I don’t get into books or movies or shows until after everyone else does. I am often disappointed. I believe the hype and then I am all-“man that sucked.”
I will mention a movie that was surprisingly entertaining and interesting-“Into the Woods”. First off, it had my girl Meryl Streep in it. That will always mean a good movie. But the cast was fantastic. Emily Blunt has really spread her acting wings and I am impressed. I had know idea that it was a musical, so I am glad that I went to see it opening weekend. I didn’t have time to hear about people’s opinions of it to cloud my judgement either way. I don’t know that I would want to watch it again and again, but I rather enjoyed it. Am I one of the few people in the universe who did not know that it was a play already?
Have a great day and go see Into the Woods if you like musical movies. Or, “The Night at the Museum” was really entertaining as well. It was surreal to see Robin Williams in it knowing that it was his last movie ever…
