movies

since my home in oregon has no TV, i've been catching up on watching some movies on DVD while here in CT. here's the most recent batch:

the da vinci code - never read the book, and probably won't. the movie was good and an interesting concept, but didn't really make me feel like i needed to run out and read the book right away.

the life of david gale - the story was an interesting one and it reflected how much he knew about what he was doing and how he didn't want to stop it. a seemingly hard decision.

x-men 3 - the last stand - definitely a disappointment after having seen x-men 1 and 2.

step up - the dancing in this movie was awesome. i *wish* i could dance like that. i should probably watch it again sometime and try to pick up some sweet dance moves. or else i could just watch napoleon dynamite again :)

the constant gardener - i am not sure i completely understood the story, probably should have watched it again just to clarify a few things.

friends with money - everyone has problems whether they have money or not. duh.

little miss sunshine - many people told me this movie was funny, and some said it was horrible. had to see it for myself. laughed out loud many many times. what do you think? life isn't as serious as we think it is.

cinderella man - the director made me feel like i was a part of the cast. i felt everything they wanted me to feel. and i didn't know until the end what james braddock would decide to do.

-------

do you ever just sit around making weird noises with your mouth because you can? i just caught myself doing that.

finally, the lyrics to the birthday song that everyone sings at contra dances on the east coast.

we wish you a happy birthday
a joyous and celebrated birthday
to our dear *enter name here*
may he/she have a long long life.

the second time you sing it in a round and my newest goal is to sing a harmony part.

this weekend mike is coming to visit me from oregon for the second time in 2 weeks. i guess he likes me. anyway we're going dancing in greenfield on friday and peterborough on saturday. i can't wait, it's going to be so much fun!! better start sleeping now so i won't be tired!

ok time to get grandma to do her exercises. hope all is well with everyone out there in blog world!

peace love and turtles

loved litt'l miss sunshine... about pee'ed my pants everytime they push started the VW and they all piled in. read the da vinci code before seeing the movie. I liked the book, but thought that angels and daemons was a better read/story. the movie was different than the book, of course, but I thought entertaining enough. I wasn't disappointed with the movie, it was just different, almost like it was a different story in parts. it was definitely over hyped when it came out. agree with you about X-men. the constant gardener wasn't what I expected. at all, actually.
