recommendations

i just watched this movie Moulin Rouge for the first time!

sheesh! it came out in 2002...what was i doing then?

graduating college, heading to Wisconsin.

yeah, no time to watch movies.

i was in college-land. 

but this movie is amazing people!

i was so shocked that it was a believable musical.

a love story,

tragedy,

so. well. done.

i loved all the music,

all the actors/actresses sing awesome!

especially the modern music tied into it!

(elton john, sound of music, madonna)

made it so enjoyable!!

one catch to the movie...it is truly an adult movie.

lots of sexual references, since it does take place in a brothel.

ah well, 

another thing i can highly recommend is 

reading the Help!

oh.my.goodness.

such a good read!

i am about half-way through it, and yes,

i did see the movie already...which is only helping the book for me!

ok! there's my recommendations for you all!!

have a great week!

i heart movies!

one of my favorite websites i gravitate to every day, sometimes multiple times a day is the pioneer woman. have you checked her out yet? she's hilarious!!

and she gives away some cool stuff, at least every week!

but alas, she is so popular the chances of winning anything (at least 50,000 view/comment on her blog!)

crazy! she's that good!

i got introduced to her when my mom bought me her cookbook--which is awesome!! my husband was very happy when i started making all of her recipes! there's some great ones!!

so, anyways she has a new section on her website- entertainment! that's right up my alley!  i love a good movie to watch, and the way she talks about them makes me want to watch all of them! yikes!

so recently i watched Chariots of Fire--directly because she raved about it so!

i realized some things about myself in watching this movie:

1. i don't really like watching movies alone. makes me feel sneaky. sometimes i like to feel sneaky, but most times not so when watching for entertainment and trying to wind down from being around youngin's all day.

2. british movies and me, don't really mix. i need an interpreter! seriously! i don't know why i cannot follow the plot, at least 2 scenes go by and i'm asking...what just happened?  why can't i get it?

 so yeah! there's my rant on movies! 

got any glorious ones to recommend me?

"Not Easily Broken"

i highly recommend this movie based off of T.D. Jakes book. it was excellent! very well done for a "christian movie"--if you know what i mean. great cinematography, and GREAT message! it's all about a couple and their marriage. such a good one to go and see with your hubby/wife! ryan and i went and saw it and had good discussion afterwards. it was so good!! i highly recommend any married couple to go see it and discuss!! we all need to have a marital boost! www.sonypictures.com/movies/noteasilybroken/site/
