Life and Movies

Not much to report. The past few days have been pretty low key.

Morgan and Mary are nit and bug free. We will keep checking and crossing our fingers. I think we have washed just about everything in the house.

I am still working out everyday. Jimmy now has me under his wing. I am lifting weights, to get toned. I definitely do not want to look like those female body builders, who I secretly think are men. (Sorry just my opinion.) Anyway, I have found most of the stuff to be pretty easy. I have shocked myself with how I can do sit ups and lift more than the remote...lol. Jimmy also isn't the Nazi trainer I had come to think he would be. He has been very supportive. He didn't even laugh when I slid off the exercise ball. That's when you know your man loves you.

I have watched a few movies the past couple of days and thought I would share my insights.

MAX PAYNE: It's one of those movies you find yourself thinking why am I watching this? Do I not have anything else I could be doing? Mark Wahlberg was wonderful in it. He made a good Max Payne and there were tons of familiar stars in it. But my suggestion is wait for it to come on cable if you desire to watch it. My vote is don't waste your money or time.

The Changeling: Holy cow what a good movie. Angelina Jolie has always been one of my favorites and this movie shows why. She was wonderful!! Some other favorites of mine were in it as well. Like John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan and directed by Clint Eastwood. Any mother's heart strings will be tugged in this true story. A Must See!!!!

Australia: Now this movie is a mix of see or not. The first half hour or so I almost turned it off. It wasn't to engaging. It started to pick up and ended up being a good movie. There were about 3 times in the movie where you thought it would be over but alas it tricks you and keeps going. It is a very long movie which was made longer by children, a husband, and a mother coming in. SO I am not sure what to say about it. It is something worth seeing but I don't think it should be to high on the list of all time must see movies.

I still have to watch 'Babylon A.D.', 'The Secret Lives of Bees' and 'Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor'. Yes I do like a variety in my movies. If you have seen any recent movies that you think I should add to my list, let me know. I love a good movie.



Update: I finished 2 movies.

The first was the new Mummy movie. It was ok. Not as exciting as the original 2. But if you are a Frasier fan it is a must see.

The second was 'The Secret Lives Of Bees'. I didn't read the book or know anything about the movie before I watched it. Oh my goodness it was wonderful and heartbreaking. It was a movie I would watch over and over! A must see.

  1. I have to confess that I didn't like the Mummy movie at all. I really enjoyed the original ones, but this last one was kind of weird. Still, Brendan Fraser is in it, so that does make it worth it!

    I agree, Changeling was great but so sad. It was on my mind for days afterward.

    Glad everyone is doing better. And you are doing awesome with the working out! It sounds like Jimmy is a great trainer. Let's try to play today if you have time.
