FABULOUS!!! Want to see it again; no disappointment this time. Well, I still think that Kristen Stewert is the number one worst actress on the continent, but other then that, FABULOUS!

More on this one later....

New In Town

Oh my oh my......where to start?

The other day I realized that I was going to have a free evening to myself. What to do? What to do? So many choices! So, I decided on a few crafts to finish up, and go rent a movie that I have never seen before, and one in which my husband would most likely not want to sit through. With my first choice of movies being completely out, I decided on this one, New In Town. Boy was that a mistake!

I normally enjoy Renee Zellweger, especially as Miss Bridget Jones, but was completely disappointed by hers (as well as everyone else') performance in this rather dull movie. I am not sure if she even cracked a smile throughout the entire film, though she was supposed to be falling in love with elusive stranger in hick ville (OK, Minnisota....though they give all the residents there a terrible accent and make them look like they have the IQ of a rodent), Harry Conick Jr. And don't even get me started on him. Never ever have I benefited from a single performance on screen with Mr. Conick Jr. And this performance was no different. Boring and uninspiriting to the last male line.

The plot is completely predictable, and seen many times before, in much better movies. Boy meets girl, boy and girl don't like each other, boy and girl are forced to spend time together, and wall-ah! Boy and girl end up falling in love. We've seen it before, we will see it again, and with much better acting talent the next time.

Completely predictable, uninteresting. I knew what was approaching, never having even seen the trailer. I was doing crafts throughout the entire movie, missing scenes here and there to do something (anything!) else, and still didn't miss a thing. Got bored, got distracted; and that is very telling considering I am a hopeless romantic and am normally glued to the screen with any type of "true love" scene approaching. Predictable plot, predictable lines, and unfortunately, predictable acting. And, I would like to add, unrealistic. The characters were contrived, the situation was just "too perfect" for the plot. No fun at all!

The best part of the movie was the Carrie Underwood song playing during the end scene.

I give New In Town my lowest rating, a four diaper day! Yikes!

Upcoming

So extremely excited about this upcoming movie. SO EXCITED!!!! Hopefully it will meet all of my expectations.... :)

All Time Favorite

I have decided to begin my first review with my favorite movie of all time. And this movie has been my favorite since I was about 8 years old, never changed, never varied. I may be called old fashioned, but I can't help it if this movie has such a hold on me. I still watch it every Christmas season, and sometimes more often then that. :) It is a tradition for my mom and I to watch it as the first Christmas movie of the year, always together and always making our favorite baked goods. Great thing to look forward to every year.

It's a Wonderful Life

Every movie is created with some passion and intent behind it. And all of us react to individual movies in different ways, mainly how it effects us personally or how we relate to the story being told. But then there are the "classics". In my mind, these are the timeless stories that never get old in our minds, the ones that we can watch over and over again and still not get enough. That we watch anxiously, though we already know the outcome. These are the ones that enter our hearts to stay. That is how I feel about this timeless movie. Inspirational, beautiful message, family movie, good ol black and white, and some of the best actors and actresses that ever graced the screen. I don't think that there will ever be another to replace it.

Of course my rating, a 1 diaper day, FABULOUS (and even better if possible)!!!!!!!

Here I am!

Hello blogging world....

My name is Erin and I am a mother from Seattle, Wa. I am grateful to be able to stay home with my twin boys, and though it is the most trying job in the world, it is also the greatest one. I am so thankful to have this time with my beautiful boys; they are growing up so fast.

One of my passions aside from motherhood is movies. I just adore them. Not sure where this obsession first started, but here it is in full force! Ever since ET when I was a tiny girl, I have been addicted. And not just sitting silently by just watching, but always analysing and critiquing as I go along. So, with this in mind, I decided to start this little blog and put my thoughts on "paper" for all see, and criticise. :) Feel free to leave comments, questions, etc. My format won't be an organized one, just whatever comes to mind.
