I took 2 8 yr old boys to see Are We There Yet this morning. Spent 3 freakin' hours at the theater!! They put in the wrong movie, so now I have also seen the first 5 mins of Racing Stripes (we will now be seeign that in the next week or two).

After, I took the boys out to lunch... they had their choice. really bummed me out when they chose Chuy's. Just got home after spening over 3 hours at Chuy's, visiting with friends and ummm drinking. Hubby met us there after gettijng high score on golf. Was a good day at the mokvies...

A Very Long Engagement.

I cried more in the first few minutes than I did at any other point.

I f**king hate war.

I f**king love French people.

Saw Sideways last night - loved the smallness of it, the wit, the writting, that it's character driven. It reminds me of many ways of Woody Allen during the Annie Hall years, and have called the film west coast Woody. I can easily see that this film will take it as it's such a fresh story.

Well.....I went from Oscar caliber films and performances on Saturday to National Treasure with Courtney and Cassidy on Sunday. They loved it.....they'd watched the three Indiana Jones movies last week, so they likened the movie to those. I can't wait for Courtney to be old enough to read The DaVinci Code. I think she'll really love books like that.

My friends and I have added Being Julia to our list....but it's only playing in one theater here....so we might miss it.

I really liked this film. It wasn't what I was expecting. Enjoyed it. Tear-jerker of 2004.

I also watched 'Sideways' last night. I enjoyed this one immensely. The best film I've seen in awhile. It deserves some Oscar nods.

I saw 'Million Dollar Baby' this afternoon. My eyes are now burning something fierce and practically swollen shut. I think it was one of the first films I've seen where I wanted to keep on crying as I was exiting the theatre. My mom and I both loved it -- a most excellent film!

I'm thinking about going to see 'Sideways' tomorrow. I need to see some comedy.

I had one good cry in this one. Loved it.

Yes, go see this one now. It'll cheer you up. It'll also make you crave wine, if you're a wine drinker.

Hubster and I saw 'Million Dollar Baby' Tuesday night.

I have to agree, not what I had expected. I'd seen Hillary Swank on 'Ellen' but I didn't really pay attention to what the movie was about, besides the boxing that is.

Oh, so good. We talked about it all of the way home and in the morning we started up again.

I now want to see 'Aviator' so that I can judge them both. I love Leo DiCaprio but I won't just give him my nod. I need to compare the two. But, I don't know if they are indeed comparable.

'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'
I just watched this one on DVD. It was in my Netflix queue forever and finally it hit the top.
I really, really loved this film. It is not a "Jim Carrey film" at all. In fact, I forgot he was Jim Carrey. There was a reason he was cast in it, I won't give it away, but he doesn't spoil the movie. Kate Winslet is good and Kisrten Dunst is good, too.
I can't explain this film in a post. Go see it if you can.
It's a trip.

Chris has been to, I think, three stores trying to buy a copy of it. Everyone is out! Damn. Who wudda thunk?

I loved it loved it. Favorite of that writer's films, though I've liked them all.

Don't forget Mark Ruffalo and Elijah Wood. They also gave pretty lovely turns in that film.
