Let me just start this post by saying that while I love to watch movies, I really only like to watch the ones that I've already seen numerous times. See, I'm kind of an anxious person, and if I don't know what's going to happen in a movie, then I get all stressed and my palms get sweaty. I also fast forward through parts I have bad feelings about...are any of you like this??!
Here are some movies I just recently watched {
some with persuasion from the bf, of course} and enjoyed:
I loved
The Proposal! I thought it was the perfect romantic comedy. I also liked that it didn't drag on and on like other movies in the same genre. I
adore Sandra Bullock and think she is America's Sweetheart; so genuine, beautiful, and down-to-earth. I also thought that the movie was the perfect mix of funny and heart-wrenching moments.
Let the Right One In is based on a novel by Swedish author, John Ajvide Lindqvist. The story is about a 12-year-old social outcast, Oskar, and his relationship with his new neighbor, Eli. As their relationship grows, Oskar discovers that Eli is a vampire stuck in a little girl's body. The movie isn't scary at all, it's more of a twisted love story. It's tragic, but really beautiful. Does that make sense?
Have any of you seen this movie or read the book? I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts if you have.
I finally got around to seeing
Up last week. This was one of those movies where I heard it was sad because of the old man so I didn't really want to see it. I'm such a baby. Needless to say, I ended up loving it. The dog, Doug, was my
absolute favorite! The story was fast-paced and exciting and there were so many funny lines.
Well, I can honestly say that I never thought I would see
Twilight. I have just had no interest in the series. But it came up on Netflix a couple of weeks ago so I thought I'd watch it to see what all the fuss was about.
I'm hooked now! I flew through the first one and couldn't wait to see
New Moon. Loved it! Prior to these movies, I was the biggest K*risten Stewart hater, but there is something about her portrayal of Bella Swan that makes her endearing. I'm anxiously awaiting the third movie,
Eclipse, this summer!
Any other movie recommendations
for this nervous movie watcher??!
{ps - please let me know if you are an anxious movie watcher too...i don't want to be the only one!}
Hash House a Go Go...there are no words to describe how amazing this place is. Made famous {to me at least} by Guy Fieri and Adam Richman, I knew C and I had to make a breakfast stop at the HH located in San Diego. When we arrived at 9:30 am, the line was already out the door. Luckily, the wait was only about 15 minutes. We had long ago decided what we would order: the very famous sage fried chicken and waffle tower! Made up of two fried chicken breasts, four savory bacon waffles, fried leeks, and the most amazing maple syrup reduction imaginable. In the words of Rachel Zoe: I die.
Love the New York in the spring totes. I'm a follower! And my fave birthday gift that I can think of was the ipod I got last year.
Thanks for the fun giveaway!
