Such delicate features and even at her age, her skin is still so beautiful. I will say we were a little disappointed only because it was a bit of a darker movie than the trailer eluded to.Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-43215143212085185202013-02-13T15:41:04.674-05:002013-02-13T15:41:04.674-05:00I'll have to check out Side Effects, I keep se...I'll have to check out Side Effects, I keep seeing commercials for it.

I had a hard time getting into it at the beginning, but SO GOOD. I've got Iron Lady sitting and waiting for just the right moment, bet Netflix is wondering where their movie is, I've had it awhile now-lol. <br />Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397053048120628254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-54047254040179858932013-02-13T09:18:36.482-05:002013-02-13T09:18:36.482-05:00I've seen NOTHING.

We got four movie tickets in our Christmas stocking and I badly want to see several that are in the theater now, but hubby is a reluctant movie-goer at best. I usually just wait for them to come out on DVD, and we've let our Netflix membership expire, so we rarely even rent a movie anymore. I wanted Hope Springs for Christmas. Even told my sons to put it in my stocking, but none of them took my very blatant hint. I just thought hubby and I could relate to a movie about a LONG-married couple trying to revive the spark in life. Of course, since Meryl Streep isn't drop-dead gorgeous, hubby doesn't like her much. Women have to be beautiful to be in movies, according to him. We did watch the Westminster Dog Show this week. Of course the dogs we like never win, and I find it hard to believe that judging in that contest can be anything but entirely subjective, but it's still fun to see all those beautiful dogs.dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-85912467765413844302013-02-13T09:11:26.569-05:002013-02-13T09:11:26.569-05:00Sounds like good movies...

Trust me when I tell you, the sweeping youth statement applies after everything that poor kid went through, especially what was revealed toward the end. I'll have to look up the other movies though I pray the Mr doesn't read about Promethesus. I really do not want to sit through 2 hours of that.

While I appreciate the general idea ("we'll all get old and boring, so enjoy your youth"), sweeping statements like that are off putting and would have ruined any moment a movie was trying to build with me. But I love Emma Watson's short hair.<br /><br />I'm going to have to investigate "Frank and Robot" more now. Never heard of it and it looks interesting.<br /><br />What have I seen lately? Well, if you want a movie with debauchery (translation: it's NC17 for sex) "Shame" is pretty good. The story is decent, the acting is good (Fassbender is easy on the eyes, especially when he's in suits which he is a lot in this), and I enjoyed it.<br /><br />Speaking of Fassbender, "Promethesus" is pretty good, too. It's part of the "Alien" franchise (a "prequel"--I dislike that word though it's apt here). You have to like sci-fi lite to enjoy it. There is some violence but nothing too horrific.<br /><br />If you like foreign films and/or wacky type comedy (a la "Curb Your Enthusiasm"--which is a funny show, by the way), I recommend "Klown". The only way I can describe it is the Danish "Curb Your Enthusiasm". The main characters are a mix of unlikable (a la Larry David) and hilarious. Though it's a lot more dirty than "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (think sexual situtations and nudity--but not raunchy sex scenes or porn type stuff).JLVerdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814082484881071454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-78822640068347048522013-02-13T07:14:41.301-05:002013-02-13T07:14:41.301-05:00Those were both very entertaining.
