Drama Mama & The Fantastic Four

Suck

Looks so lame, I have to see it!      Moby, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, Alice Cooper...well, I just need to see it.

I'm laughing at you.

We were watching HP & the Half Blood Prince last night...we started the other night and Bill fell asleep.  I was catching Bill up on what he missed...I was telling him something about Harry, he interrupted me and said "Harry who?"  I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.

Lars & The Real Girl

So, I'd been putting off seeing this movie, because well, you know, a "doll", was slightly off putting. 

All I have to say is, see it.  Ryan Gosling ROCKED this role.  The nuances of his character were sad AND funny. 

SPOILERISH...

I love the exploration of community and the power it has to heal in it's willingness to help and understand one of it's members.  In some cases, not only helping Lars, but themselves as well.  Pretty awesome.

at our house. 

I heart Harry Potter.

   

That's so Liam

As with most children, there are certain DVD's he watches over and over.  Unlike most children, he fast forwards to certain scenes and freezes the movie frame by frame (none of this slow motion garbage) to study it.  I have seen every nuance in certain Star Wars fight scenes...Dooku flying out of his desk or a light saber cutting through an object.  Always accompanied by LM saying, "Mom, you've got to see this." 

Julie Julia

No complaints here.  Sweet movie, nothing Earth shattering, but good.  Loved the portrait of Julia Child's romance with her husband.  Yet again, Meryl Streep rocks it.

The Brother's Bloom

Loved this movie.

The color, the story, the complexity of character.

Highly recommend.

Dead Like Me

Well, Bill and I finished up the series and decided to watch the movie.  Big mistake.  If you liked the show, DO NOT watch the movie.  It completely and totally sucked.  I sit here and shake my head as I tell you, it was so dishearteningly bad that I refuse to comment any further upon it.   

curses, cut outs & cookies

Long time, no blogging...so, here's the latest in dizzying brevity.

curses:

Liam has picked up a few colorful phrases in the 'hood.  He's not using them, but revels in telling me what the other kids are saying.  So today, I was telling him, although something he had heard was not a curse, it was still not kind language.  Anyway, the long and short of the conversation was me thinking he didn't know what it meant and him giving me a very succinct and accurate definition.  Oh the joys, of awkward conversations with my 7 year old.

cut outs:

Made this for my MIL's birthday. 

I'm in the process of making one for myself.  I love it, it reminds me of the ones my mom had of my brother and I growing up.

cookies:

Check this out!

My little cutie was shaking her tail feather for some cookies, of course when we broke out the camera, her butt bouncing, backed off a bit.    

I'm in!

Lots o' vampire flicks of late, but I'm game, especially if is nothing like Let the Right One In.  Looks juvenile but fun.  Makes sense cause it's based off of a YA trilogy.
