Las Vegas

I wanna go back - I LOVE VEGAS !!!!!! :)

gross

And I'm not saying this to be mean but I am just shocked at this. There was a young guy on the train coming to work today, that picked his nose from Metuchen to New York. Pretty much nonstop. And worse than that - he liked to do a lil flick of his fingers after each trip to the nose to shake whatever crap off. No joke. I was sooo grossed out felt like I was going to throw up cept I couldn't. Very gross and what a shame too cuz he was cute. Ek- Nasty. Tissues?

Sunday starts the week

Sunday starts the week, right? Or is it Monday? lol Either way, we're inching close now --- Can't wait. No work, no getting up early, no snow, no drama, just chilling and having FUN!!

I know it looks that way, but I haven't just been watching movies lately. hehee Tho, I do enjoy it. Just been connecting with some friends I don't see regularly and still hanging with my regular ones. Meet up with some fam. members too. Scoped out some new places in the city too. Work's been hectic as anything too, I just finally shopped this weekend for things to bring along. Next week- taxes, run a few more errands, eyebrows n waxing, last minute shopping, nails, etc. Oooo! :)))))

Horton Hears a Who!

Awesome! Cute! Adorable! Uplifting! I can't say enough good things. I loved this movie. The characters were endearing and the storyline so deep. Yeah, its based off of a Dr. Suess children's book and the movie is animated but heck, adults could learn a thing or two from it. :) Basically, its about an elephant named Horton who hears a Who from a speck...that's all I'm going to say. I could go on and say things about the story and themes and stuff, but I really want u guys to see it. :) Two thumbs up for Steve Carell and Jim Carrey - loved their voices.

The Other Boleyn Girl

I wasn't sure what to make of this historical drama movie. I heard rumors that it was a chick flick, but honestly it wasn't. Def. a lot of soap opera type drama on a historical backdrop but I say guys can enjoy this too. It takes place in England in the 16th century. The story focuses mostly on the Boleyn sisters and how their lives mix with the King and Queen of England. Both these Boleyn girls "hook up" with the King but with different motives and manners entirely. This movie goes thru a lot of emotions and shocked me a few times too. Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson looked great. I'm not a history buff, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

Patience

Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it's cowardice.
--George Jackson

My brother told me this quote awhile ago and it stuck to me and I just thought of it again today so wanted to share it.

Vantage Point

B/c of this silly snow on Friday, we decided to cancel the city plans and say local. So, we went to go watch a movie. So, we were kinda annoyed to begin with at the change in plans and the movie didn't help much.

The movie - A good idea but very bad actual display of the story. Eight different scenarios shown and at the end the story pulls together. Well it tried to pull together. Repeated scenes but different views was fun for the first two but then quickly got annoying as it went thru all of them. Neat idea, but just didn't gel together. The president is shot and how\who\why is what you have to try to figure out.

Worst part is b/c of those repeated scenes and different views, you hardly get attached to the characters and you can't seem to connect and understand their motives b/c you're being jumped around. And personally if you can't feel what the characters are feeling, then what a waste. I like to get completely involved when watching a movie. We actually had the audience laughing everytime the repeat came on and it wasn't supposed to be funny...thats how tiresome it got.
The terrorists kill the president but at the end they do something completely ridiculous so you find yourself thinking what a phony.

I was very excited to see this movie with its cast and story approach - but unfortunatately didn't live up. Not a complete flop because it does keep the interest and guessing thru out the movie, but not as awesome as I wanted it to be. heheee All good!
