Sideways

Love this movie. I've seen it before but after seeing bottle shock I wanted to watch Sideways again. It's about a depressed wine connoisseur, Miles, who takes a bachelor trip with his friend, Jack, to the wine country before Jack gets married.

The show has a lot of talk about wine and this wine slob hates Merlot. The movie Merlove was made after Sideways to kind of stand up for Merlot.



Favorite line of this movie (censored):

Jack: "If they want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot."

Miles: "No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any Effing Merlot!

Bottle Shock

This movie is based on a true story in 1976 about the winery Chateau Montelena that was started by Jim Barrett. His son Bo is a hippie who works for him at the winery which is struggling financially and causes a lot of contention between father and son.

The plot includes how a wine connoisseur from France comes to California to find the best wines to take back with him to compete in a blind wine tasting against Paris wines. If you like wine and are interested in all the complexities of how it is made, then you will enjoy this show.

For those who are not into wine, the show still has a good plot with a love story for the girls and some fighting for the guys. Me? I liked it and found it interesting about how this winery functions.

Center Stage - Turn It Up

Wasn't as good as the first one. This one did not have as much ballet dancing, it was more of a hip hop movie. Don't get me wrong, I love hip hop dancing too, but I wanted more ballet! The main chick was a good hip hop dancer but she sucked at ballet, which bugged me!

Her feet just dangled from her legs instead of being pointed and beveled. Eeww, I couldn't stand to watch her do ballet. But the other dancers were amazing! And like every dance movie, the plot was just so-so which is what I was expecting and I'm okay with because I just watch it for the dancing!

Oh and the finale in the first Center Stage was just amazing! And this one? Not so much.

Rachel Getting Married

Ok, Anne Hathaway is not Rachel. Anne Hathaway is not the one getting married.

I was confused for the first 15 minutes because I thought she was Rachel.

Ok, this movie is not for everyone but I liked it. It's a real movie where you have to think and dig deep to really understand and appreciate it.

My husband hated it. So it may not be for guys. The movie portrays Anne Hathaway in a very different role than her usual hollywood sugar gumdrop roles. I loved her in this! It was depressing at times but the ending was great and tied everything up with a nice happy bow.

I Love You, Man

Saw this over the weekend with the hubs and Ken & Andrea. It was definately a snicker movie. For some reason I thought this was going to be a chick flick, maybe because it had something to do with a wedding. But a chick flick it was not.

Hubs and I liked it, there were a lot of funny parts. Go see it!

Kill Bill Vol. I

I attempted to watch this movie a few years ago when it first came out but I just wasn't expecting all the violence so I turned it off. It was on TV the other day so I thought I'd give it another shot.

I first learned about the two part movie when I took a film class in college a few years ago so I was always curious about it. The director, Quentin Tarantino, also wrote and directed Pulp Fiction so film critics were pretty excited about Kill Bill coming out.

Was it good? It was okay, a little too violent for me but I loved Lucy Lou and Uma Thurman fight scenes, they were awesome! Will I see the second one? Probably, if it shows on TV again.

MILK

This was a pretty good show, but when I found it a little boring. When I watched it I really was more in the mood to be entertained, not to learn something. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE shows that have a message, but my brain was tired when I watched it so it was a bit boring to me.

I LOVE Sean Penn, I think he is such a good actor. Especially in I Am Sam, he broke my heart in that show! He does amazing in this show too!

The show has a good message and hey, it's history. Movies are the only way I learn about history!

Pineapple Express

What is Pineapple Express? Why weed of course! I honestly thought this movie was about some train called Pineapple Express. Don't judge.

This movie is hilarious! I love watching funny movies with my hubster because he just laughs so hard!

Trading Spaces

Even though Page bugs!

Toddlers & Tiaras

I just started watching this one hoping to see those crazy beauty contestant mothers that freak out back stage. Well there have been a few of those but not as dramatic as I wanted. I've only seen a coupld episodes and I can't believe some of the things these kids do to win these things, or their mothers do to them!

Has anyone else seen this? What do you think?

House Bunny

I'm not a fan of chick flicks, but I wanted to check this one out because I heard it had Rumor Willis and Katherine McFee in it. I thought they did pretty good job! The show was pretty funny and not as stupid as I expected!

The Haunting of Molly Hartley

Ya know...I love scary movies but why can't they make ones that aren't so cheesy? They all start out with so much potential and then they just get corny! This one is a perfect example of that.

Family Guy

Seriously, the funniest show ever. I can't believe some of the stuff they get away with on this show! My favorite is the when Stewie and Brian argue about how to say cool whip!

If you haven't seen this, please watch!

The Simpsons

Alex and I LURV the Simpsons! It's such a quotable show.

Funny story, Alex has Simpsons checks and one time we were at Wal Mart checking out and the cashier girl noticed Alex was writing one of his Simpson's checks. She says, "Wow, you've gotta have a very nice wife to let you have Simpson's checks!"



Like The Simpsons is some evil show! I think she was a polygamist, most people are at that Wal Mart.

The Hubster play Halo 3 online.

Anyone else's husband obsessed with Halo? Playing it any free time they can find with the little ear piece thingy glued to their ear so they can swear with their online buddies?

Thought so.

Heroes Season 2 on DVD

The Secret Life of Bees

This is the best book to film adaptation I've ever seen. Maybe it's because I read the book a while ago so it wasn't fresh in my mind, but the movie definately delivered.

I actually think it made a better movie then book. When I read the book I remember thinking that some parts just dragged on and on so the movie squished everything together which made it better in my opinion.

Plus it has all our favorite girls! Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifa, Alicia Keyes, and Jennifer Hudson!

Changeling

I thought this show was so good! I didn't know what to expect but it definitely kept my attention. Alex was enthralled too and that takes a lot! It's not a happy movie, but I recommend you go see it!

The International

Saw this with Big Al on V-day, I know we are a very romantic couple! Overall it was pretty good. It was very slow at the beginning but then there is this action scene that totally makes up for it! Wow, it's crazy. But the end didn't really satisfy because nothing ever got resolved.

Confesssions of a Shopaholic

Worst. Movie. Ever.

Seriously, I went with Talicia and Andrea and they bout died too. Actually at one point Andrea leaned over to me and said that she wanted to die right there.

Talking mannequins? Seriously? Come on! Now I'm not a fan of chick flicks at all, but this wasn't even cute and, according to Talicia, the fashion Goddess, the fashion was not good either.

Blah! Don't waist your time.

Heroes Season 1

On DVD

The Iron Chef

Alex is obsessed with this show and watches it everynight. It's not the American version, it's the Japan version with those annoying english voice overs! I just can't get into it, I'd rather watch American Idol.

The Tudors

Pronouced The Tu-ders. Albert and I have just started watching this show, it's not too bad, if you like a lot of sex, killing, Dad's pimping their daughters out, Unfaithfulness, and sex. LOL!

Apparently it's a true story, ya know another piece of history that I had no idea existed? The stuff Al knows all about?

That sorta thing.

Seinfeld Reruns

Who doesn't love a little Seinfeld?

Taken

Bert and I thought this movie was pretty good. I thought the beginning was pretty slow, but now I understand they had to give a lot of history to make the rest of the movie believable and in the end the parts I thought were unnecessary at the beginning all tied together.

So go see and let me know what ya think!

The Superbowl

Okay Al watched the Superbowl while I slept through it.

Mama Mia!

I usually like musicals but this one was too cheesy for me, I did like Amanda Seyfried in this she was really good.

Someone should shoot Pierce Brosnan if he ever opens his mouth again.

Eagle Eye

Meh, not worth the time.

American Idol

Yep, I'm one of THOSE!

24

The hubster and I LOVE this show! We didn't watch it for the first couple of seasons but then we rented them and seriously got addicted!

If you haven't seen this show, you MUST go rent it and start at season one. You'll be hooked!

The Hubby Play Gears of War

Too many scary monsters for me! Yuck!

Beverly Hills 90210 Season 4

It's a sickness.

But watching this show with Al is so entertaining. He makes me laugh so hard when he makes fun of it. The 90's were the best!

Towelhead

This movie is basically about the war, racism, sex, rape & disfunctional families.

Kind of disturbing.

LOST - Season Four

I like waiting until LOST comes out on DVD so I don't have to wait between episodes and forget what happened.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Read the book and had to see the movie and now I want to be Audrey Hepburn!

Dirty Sexy Money

Bizarre Foods

Yeah, I watched this guy eat fried bees!!

Beware when you watch this show, make sure you have a puke bowl handy!

Dexter - Season 2

Why am I rooting for a Serial killer?

Is it because I love cold cereal so much?

Colt's Game

When it's football season, I don't have a choice!

I guess I don't mind as long as Payton Manning is playing!

Myth Busters

Albert LOVES this show! We watch it when we feel like being couch potatos.

Which is more often than not!

The Brothers Solomon

Meh. It was just okay.

The Dark Knight

I knew this movie was coming out yesterday and I was planning on buying for one of Bert's stocking stuffer so I sent him an email that morning from work telling him that he was not allowed to buy anything from now until Christman because he might ruin his surprise.

What does he do after he reads this email? Goes directly to Best Buy and brings home the is movie, explaining that it was okay because he sent me a text (AFTER he already bought it) saying that he was going to buy it

He ruined Christman!

Step Brothers

Hubster and I just laugh so hard when we watch this movie, he especially when someone gets hit in the balls. For some reason he thinks that is the funniest thing in the whole world!

Wanted

Hubster bought this movie the other day and we watched it last night. He hadn't even seen it before when he bought it but apparently anything with Angelina Jolie is "Owning Worthy".

Dancing With The Stars!

I gotta get caught up on this show because I'm going to go see it this month with mom-in-law and sis-in-laws!!!

Thanks Cris!

Stuck

Very appropriate title.

It's about a girl who hits a man with her car and he is stuck in her windshield. She leaves him in her garage to die...but he doesn't.
