All right, let's talk movies. I've seen a few recently, and I want to talk about them.
Nights in Rodanthe
(pretend there's an image of a movie poster here)
I wanted to like this movie, and indeed I did until the last 20 minutes or so. Okay, except for the part where Diane Lane does her usual hemming and hawing and never gets to a point until she gets ANGRY. Not my favorite actress.
Oh, or the part with the extramarital sex.
All right, so I didn't really like the movie. It could have been great, but as per usual it was ruined with an awful ending. Not awful, I suppose it kind of fit, it just made me cry. For 20 minutes straight. I hate that. I don't need it. Life is dramatic and sad enough, without a movie that I thought would make me feel good making me feel worse.
Meh. C-. Not pleased.
Last night's film, though? A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
Yes, it rocked. It's awfully hilarious. A few sexual innuendos I never caught as a kid, but I still loved it. "Poor thing, she died at such a young age, without ever having had the pleasure of knowing me."

I remember watching "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." It's a great movie :) My siblings were in the play (children's theater) and it was hilarious. I think I watched the movie after seeing the play. Funny, funny film :)
They had that "on demand" with comcast when we subscribed to that for a short time. Yeah. Older musicals, generally equal hilarious, instead of just trashy. I agree with you on the Nights in Rodanthe. Wanted to like it, but the over/underlying message was just...not good for me.
"He's Just Not That In To You"--another missed opportunity. The first few minutes are funny and then it didn't hold my attention and was a mixed up mess. Not worth the $1 I paid at Redbox. . .
