Random Ramblings
Last Saturday 'Nise bravely offered to watch the kids alone, so that we could go see The Village with Mike. I really liked it, but after reading some of the reviews out there it makes me wonder if my good movie o'meter is working. There have certainly been some critically panned movies that I have still secretly enjoyed, but I usually know in the back of my mind that they really are not very good. Don't we all have those? Movies that you secretly like, but don't want anyone to know. Like the guy that is a huge action adventure movie fan, but also secretly enjoys a good Streisand flick now and again. Ok maybe not that extreme!
Honestly, I don't understand why so many dislike The Village except that maybe expectations of what a M. Night movie should be weren't met somehow in their minds. Ah well... we had a great time. Thank you Denise and Mike!
Speaking of Mr. Shyamalan, he is making a movie based on the book Life of Pi. Very curious am I! It will be his first adaptation of a novel and his first non-Disney movie as well. I have not read the book yet, but have been curious about it for a while now. I finally picked it up to read (in all my free time of course heh). The annual friends beach trip is coming up, maybe I will get a chance to sneak in a page here and there then!
In keeping with our family motto "Better Late than Never" *note to self find out how to say this in Latin, everything sounds better in Latin* I got Kellen and Lorelai's birth annoucements out in the mail. We absolutely love them, they are really cute. A big, huge gigantic thank you goes out to Adrienne for creating them for us. You are awesome woman!!
