Its Awful!

Last night, I watched part of the movie, "The Backup Plan". It was extremely cheesy and halfway through, I switched over to what I thought would be a better movie, "No Country For Old Men" - winner of four Academy Awards!

I mustn't have been in the right frame of mind for that sort of movie because I went to bed thinking that I just wasted the previous two hours. I was confused and feeling grumpy that the movie was the kind that sort of had no ending.

Ultimately, it was the cheesy movie that had a lasting effect on me. I have been laughing about this scene ever since we watched it last night.

Isn't that so true??? Those people that gush about the wonder and beauty of parenthood are leaving out 75% of their day. LOL!

Its probably also true that these *awful* *awful* *awful* *magical* repetitions leaves me unable to dig deep to understand movies like "No Country for Old Men". I've already spent my day digging deep for patience I don't necessarily have.

Movie Night

WOW! I just finished watching Poseidon (the 2006 version) and it was gripping! All 98 minutes of it. Maybe its because I haven't watched a good action/adventure in ages but I hardly blinked through it all and at the end of it, I just sat there thinking that it was the greatest movie ever. Of course, I know it isn't but it gave me THAT sort of feeling. I watched 'Elizabeth. The Golden Age' last week and while the costumes and sets were beautiful to look at, I wasn't saying 'Wow!' afterwards.

I've been a little starved of movies since 2006 and really must catch up. I'm not sure if I'll ever get caught up since there are plenty of movies being released this year that I probably won't get to watch but I'll start here:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
2. Casino Royale
3. The Ant Bully
4. Ratatouille
5. Hairspray
6. Lust, Caution
7. Sweeney Todd
8. The Bourne Ultimatum
9. The Golden Compass
10. Atonement

Thats all I can think of. I don't even really know whats out there anymore. Let me know your 'Must See Movies' ok.
