Movie Night

Pop some corn, dim the lights and crank the surround sound!

I have been wanting to see this since it came out.

I love these big Epic Movies!

P.S. - Movie night at home is very budget friendly.

In fact.......Way cheaper than going to the Theaters.

Just make it special!

Like I said....pop some corn, dim the lights and crank the surround sound.

It is like your private Movie Theater.

What I am Watching- You've got Mail

You've got Mail is one of my favorite movies. I could watch it over and over again. In fact I do! Something about the Fall makes me want to watch it. Maybe it is the line in the Movie..... "I love fall in New York. It makes me want to buy school supplies." I feel that way every fall!

So on a beautiful fall day, I curled up on the couch with a cup of tea and pressed play. I love how New York is like a character in the movie. I love the chemistry between Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. I love her Store. I love the ending, It makes me cry EVERY time I watch it. Ok..... I love everything about this movie!

What is your favorite Movie?

Lars and the Real Girl

Ryan Gosling plays the title character in this oddball comedy about a delusional young man who buys a life-size sex doll over the Internet -- and then falls in love with her. When the besotted young man starts telling people that the doll is his girlfriend, his brother and sister-in-law decide it's time to intervene in this film co-starring Patricia Clarkson, Emily Mortimer, Kelli Garner and Paul Schneider.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It may sound dirty and riddled with sex...... But it is not. It is an unexpected lesson on love and how we should treat people.

Try it...... I think you might like it!

Sex in the City

Sex in the City : The Movie.............................LOVED IT!!!

It was like spending 2 hours with old friends.

Seriously........it was really good!!!

Sex in the City : The Movie

I am going to see this today. I was a big fan of the series and can't wait to catch up with the Girls!

With my Hubs out of town with the boys, I thought I would go see it. There would be NO way I could drag him to see this chick flick!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So your asking...."What did you do with yourself on Friday night?Did you go out drinking and dancing?" Hell No!! I am too old for all that stuff. I stayed home and had a Beauty Night. I gave my self a pedicure and a facial, listened to some nice music and relaxed. Nothing exciting but it was fun.

We had some really bad storms roll thru last night. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, Wind and Hail. So I was restless for a couple hours while they were coming thru but I did sleep in a little later.

Have a great Weekend!

My Review:
I liked the Book better than the Movie. If you had not read the book you might get a little lost or confused in the story. All in all it was a good movie for a lazy Sunday afternoon

Gone Baby Gone

When a 4-year-old girl goes missing in Dorchester, one of Boston's toughest hoods, private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro (Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan) reluctantly agree to take the case. But the investigation proves tougher, riskier and more complex than they could have imagined. Ben Affleck's directorial debut, adapted from the Dennis Lehane novel, also stars Ed Harris, Morgan Freeman and Amy Ryan (in her first Oscar-nominated role).

I really liked this movie. definitely better than I expected. It is one of those movies that makes you ask.....what would I do?
