I just rented Ballet Slippers - unreal.  a great movie based on a book by Neal Streatfeild.  Never read the book as a child.  it is a great film for women and girls - good script.  The girl who was in the Harry Potter movies is one of the main characters. 

Also Then She Found Me - has a wonderful scene in there about God with Helen Hunt and her mother and the ending is wonderful - a true definition of real life

Some Nicole Kidman movie about Aliens and it was stupid.

Also Steel Magnolias - which was filmed near where I live - it's as funny today, as the day it came out! Shirley McClain is a HOOT!

At the theatre… Mama Mia. I'm in the same boat as Jayne. The Boy wouldn't take me, and looked at me quite horrifiedly when I mentioned they were re-releasing it as a sing-along version. I don't understand! WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO SING ABBA SONGS!?  Hehehehe.

At home? We watched The Fellowship of the Ring. It was awesome.. as always.

We watched August Rush with Robin Williams a few nights ago.  I had no idea what it was about when we started and for the first 10 minutes almost didnt stick it out.  (Would rather be sewing!)  But every minute it got better and better and by the end of the movie I was bawling like a baby!  It was a wonderful movie, very touching and a very happy ending.  Everything I like in a movie!  A must see!!!

I loved August Rush too - and olld sort of wil this ever happen movie - but you never know really.  I would love to se Mama Mia too.  Today i watched a great movie for women - Boneville.  Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Joan Allen.  Jessica's char's husband dies and is cremated. they take a ride in his old Bonneville across country to the funeral.  His dtr wants the ashes there. she wants to scatter them as they drive to places they shared.  I LOVE ANYTHING KATHY BATES IS IN -  saw her sing the other day - wow - (except for that horror movie she is in wher she keeps that guy locked up) and in this movie it is interesting to see who gets the guy!!!!!!  a good movie. 

I think the last movie I saw was Nanny McFee.  Most of my movie watching these days is done with the kids. 

Last movie I saw was the new X Files movie. It was actually quite good but then I'm a sci-fi fan.

Have y'all seen The Bucket List?  oh my gosh…a little slow in the beginning because they are feeding you a lot of information about the characters background but by the end…oh so good….even my 14 year old daughter was bawling at the end!  so good.

Steel Magnolias and Hoosiers are my lifetime faves.  Also The Notebook. 

I took a few hours away from football (don't have a heartattack anyone)  and met a girlfriend for a movie.  We saw “Nights in Rodanthe”  Oh it was good!  If you can't see it in the theatre, rent it when it comes out!  It was good!  Loved that it was set in the Outer banks, Richard Gere gets better looking the older he gets, and Diane Lane is just a doll!

We saw Tyler Perrys new movie, “The Family That Preys Together”. It was really good. I just love his movies,  they make such statements about family without all the sex scenes and raw language.  We really enjoyed it. Kathy Bates is a real hoot!
