Movies

I've already reported on " Marley and Me" which was a great movie even with the extra stress of being laughed at for crying.

Jim & I went to see " Bedtime Stories" with Adam Sandler last weekend and, although it was a children's movie, it was pretty good. Jim picked it because he thought " Benjamin Button" was a chick flick.

A couple of my friends and I saw " Benjamin Button" last Wednesday night and we thought it was very good and Brad was as hot as ever - especially the younger, James Dean look. I didn't realize it was going to be a tear-jerker too so I was glad I could cry freely without being ridiculed.

Mom & I went to see "Gran Torino" yesterday after going out to lunch. I warned Mom before we went that there would be cursing so she could change her mind if she wanted to but she said it was okay. As the movie started and Clint Eastwood took the screen I leaned over and told her that he reminded me of Ronnie - " a crabby old man". He had this unhappy scowl on his face most of the time and when his Asian grandma neighbor called him a "rooster" I knew I was right. Anyway Mom & I both liked the movie.

I think I've reached my limit for movies and won't be going again for a while....
