hula hoops and hampster wheels

Gran Torino:
If you didn't catch it in the theater - you should rent it. I saw it twice in the theater and my mom just bought it with her "mother's day gift card" from my brother- how thoughtful brother. *rolling eyes* but in any case it's a good movie.

It's funny - but then you kind of feel bad for laughing since it's so politically incorrect - but everyone has known some one that is similar to the charachter of Walt. So in any case I liked it -
This was also the first movie date Clint and I had. I cried.


Nights of Rodanthe:
Another Nicholas Sparks book made into a movie. Old Love lost. New Love found. Richard Gere and Diane Lane are great - it's a little slow and if you want a perfect happily ever after you shouldn't look here. I also cried.


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button:
Slow movie. Interesting adaptation of the short story, clever special effects but a sad story. I didn't cry but got a teary eye. yes, only one eye. I think I'm becoming more and more of a sap.
Side note: During Up! I also cried.

New In Town:
Cute chick flick movie with exageratte Minnesota accents. Funny but I think it might have been better if the leads Zellweger and Connick Jr were replaced with differnt people. No suggestions really other than that - and no I didn't cry during this one.


Last Chance Harvey:
A quiet romantic comedy for an older generation. It's mostly conversations similar to to that of Before Sunset with Ethan Hawke. The story is good but It was a little longwinded but a sweet story of a couple of sad people. No tears on this one either.

Still on the list to rent:
Marley and Me - expecting to cry
Bolt
hmm i had more written down - where did I put my postit note!
