Well, after quite some time I"m finally getting here to update this blog. I noticed tonight it's been since January since I wrote anything. Don't know how this post will turn out, though because my body is trying to get a cold and I'm trying to keep ahead of it. Assuming everyone hasn't given up on this blog, does anyone have tried and true methods to offer on how to keep from getting sick? I have to work the next seven days straight through and absolutely have no time to get sick. On the up side, though, I met someone at my church who likes Lord of the Rings as much as I do so now I have someone (in real life) to talk about the movies with and my husband won't have to listen to me talk LotR non-stop, lol!
Anyway, on to the update. There are two reasons for the lack of updates. First, all the shows I watch have been first run episodes, so what with keeping up with my t.v. shows, there hasn't been time to catch many movies. Second, there haven't been many movies out that I wanted to see. Until Hitch, that is. Will Smith was so great in this movie. Loved the date he took the girl on. It was so romantic. I definitely give this movie a two thumbs up and so did my husband. The only thing that ruined the movie was the person in front of us who got up and left the theatre about 10 times during the show (why she paid for a full price ticket only to catch 1/3 of the movie is beyond me) and the lady behind us who answered her cell phone during the show (grrrr...)
And now, my take on the Oscars. They were so-so this year. We missed the beginning of the show because we went out to dinner and a movie (Finding Neverland - also a two thumbs up, but then what Johnny Depp movie isn't?) The last half of the show was pretty good. I didn't like how they gave some awards out in the middle of the audience, but I guess I could live with the change of having all the nominees onstage for some awards. I missed half the movies that were nominated for Best Picture, but out of the ones I did, I thought Finding Neverland should have won. Oh well. It was a pretty dismal year for movies last year - no Lord of the Rings or other big epics so I guess the Academy did as well as they could with nominating movies. Hope this year proves to be a better year for movies.
We are now heading into a brief re-run season until May sweeps, so we may finally get around to Citizen Kane. It's in my backpack, so who knows what the next few days may bring. Keep checking!
