Also, I just saw a great documentary called "Standing in the Shadow of Motown." if you a Motown or music fan in general, you should check this out. I really wanted a lot more than they gave, which is probably the only down side. That and they sort of got B and C list singers to perform with the group that the film focus' on: The Funk Brothers. They played on 90 % of the biggest hits of the 60's & early 70's Motown and basically created what we know as the "Motown Sound". Songs like "What's Goin' On", "I heard it Through The Grapevine."

Fantastic Doc. The musicianship of these guys was phenominal and even in the concert they did (Cir: 2002) they still had that flavor and "funk" that they had when they recorded. Totally unmached ability to play those great songs from Motown.

Weird. I am currently watching it, but now I have to rewind since I decided to hop on and check emails. And I agree. I was obsessed with Grace Kelly in high school!! I read all the un-authorized biographies and had a pic of her in my locker.....next to James Dean and Brian Keith. I was a dork. She was absolutely breathtaking....not a thing wrong with her. Except in her head.

We watched A Walk to Remember last night....bought it for Courtney's birthday, so she basically turned ten in a flood of tears. This morning we watched A Cinderella Story. Another birthday gift....um, no tears. Blech.

Hilary Duff is no Swank.

We recently saw "Grave of the Fireflies". What a moving animated movie. It caught me off-guard as I didn't expect to be so drawn into it. (pardon the pun)

Saw Bambi tonight. Definately a classic. The artwork alone is spectacular.

I just purchased Bambi but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. It's been so long since I've seen it, and it's definitely one of my very favorites. (Although it brings back flashbacks of being nicknamed & called "Bambi" while I worked for Disney. Why? )

I also purchased Angel, Seasons 4 & 5. I'm on the third disc of Season 5 & will probably pop in the fourth disc before bedtime. I'm hooked!

Earlier, I spent the evening with my Brother & his Girlfriend at their place. We had a wonderful dinner and then watched Shall We Dance?. It was a really cute movie! My Mom had told me how much she had liked it, and I can see why. It was really enjoyable! I was surprised!

Bambi was the first Disney film I saw in theaters. I was hysterical! I still cry and the story and just how stunning the artwork is, I'm so glad we got a copy,

Tonight, another wonderful supper. Mouth-watering cranberry chicken & rice, lovely latin rhythm instrumental music, mellow lights & my brother & his girlfriend. And wonderful conversation.

Then, boatloads of candy & a movie! I'm getting addicted to being their third wheel.

Tonight, this thankful wheel brought over 13 Going On 30. I had seen it twice, but my brother & his girlfriend hadn't.

We all enjoyed it, and especially had fun with the DVD extras, such as the "80's Music Videos" selection. Who doesn't love the frame by frame cinematic enjoyment that is Jessie's Girl? And Love Is A Battlefield, where the lovely, band of runaways led by Pat Benatar look suspiciously like extras from Cats.

Earlier in the day? Angel. I'm workin' my way through Season 5 while multi-tasking around my house.

We just watched Bambi also, Shawn had never seen it. I was blown away by the artwork and Shawn loved the movie until the hunters. He was really upset and we had a long talk about hunting after that. We're supposed to watch it again together today.

Last night I watched Shadow of Fear with James Spader. I enjoyed what I saw but unfortunately I got a bad dvd that skipped and so I missed the ending, going back to BB in a couple of hours to get a different copy.

Please don't judge me for this.

Last night, we watched Bambi, followed by Jackass The Movie.


There really is a valid story behind it. Swear. We were having delicious takeout, watching the wonderment that is Bambi. Of course, I wept like a rejected schoolgirl when Bambi frantically calls out for his "Mama". I love watching Bambi even though this happens every time.

Then, we flipped off the DVD player, and it just so happened The Tonight Show With Jay Leno was on. We unfortunately missed the Mel Gibson interview, but instead were treated to watching Steve-O get bitten in the ass, whilst marinating in a jacuzzi chock full of gators.

This inspired me to dust off my Jackass The Movie DVD, and play it! Of course, as expected, we died laughing. Airhorns on the golfcourse, rocket skates....hahahaha!!
