I’ve watched a few movies on tv or in the theater in the last month or so. And since my brain is mush and I can’t think of anything to blog about I thought I’d give my thoughts on them…
Hoosiers: Hoosiers rocks. That’s all there is to it. It’s one of those movies I can watch over and over and feel all pumped up and excited every single time. A bit of trivia for you… Did you know Gene Hackman was the original actor picked to play Mike Brady on “The Brady Bunch”? But since he was an “unknown” actor at the time, they decided to go with Robert Reed…
American History X: I had never seen this movie before and I’m glad I saw it edited for TV because I’m pretty positive the language, violence, etc… warped me enough even edited. I was watching this movie and you know what? I actually think it was really good. Depressing, but REALLY good. Edward Norton is a rad actor. And I loved when Sweeney asked “Has anything you’ve done made your life better?” What a great question to ask ourselves each day. It’s a movie that really makes you think. I don’t understand that kind of hate. And I don’t understand prison. Eew.
Dear John: It was ok. Channing Tatum is cute. And he’s a surfer with board shorts hangin’ off his cute butt, but other than that… It wasn’t all that. I mean, it was ok. It was fine to watch. I just kinda felt left hangin’ at the end. And believe it or not- I DID NOT CRY. Weird…
I guess that’s about it. It’s spring break and I am so stoked to go to the lake house tomorrow with the kids and Seiuli. I love knowing I don’t have to “share” Tristan, Alec and Isabel with anyone for almost 2 weeks!!!!!! I love my family!!!!!

I like scary movies. My taste has changed. I used to be able to handle more gore, etc… I used to love Scream, but now if I watched it I’d be grossed out and bugged by the cussing. I prefer “Make-me-Jump” psychological thrillers. I like crime shows and stuff too. But I think I may just need to stick to watching Jon and Kate Plus 8 because I’m obviously very sensitive and getting warped.
Call me weird, but I have a lot of dreams about me being taken and held captive somewhere. It’s starting to freak me out. On Medium the other nite there was 2 girls being held captive and all I could think was, “That scares me to death!” There are real psychos out there that do that!! 
Also on Medium one of the girls crawled across the floor to the other girl and I think that freaked me out more than anything. Ever since I saw The Ring and Samara crawled out of the tv… I’ve been warped by crawling. And then that chick on The Grudge crawls all weird down the stairs. Yep- makes me scream. If Sei wants to scare me all he needs to do is come crawling into the room all Samara-ish. Aack! I was just trying to find a pic of Samara crawling out of the t and freaked myself out again…
What do you think of when you hear “Total Eclipse of the Heart?” Anybody? Anybody? “Bueller? Bueller?” Does anyone else think of that scene in Urban Legends where the girl is singing it in her car to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and stops to get gas? You know- the part where the gas attendant has her come inside and locks the door and is all st-st-stuttering. She maces him, breaks the window and gets back in her car. Then the attendant finally spits it out “THERE’S SOMEONE IN THE BACK SEAT!!!!!” As she drives off she’s all crying and freakin out and starts singing with her cd again all dramatic… then she gets her head chopped off. But anyway… That’s what I think of when I hear that song.
And totally off the subject (*Is* there a subject to this post??) But last nite this was the best performance on American Idol. And I don’t even care about AI. But this guy is my fave:
There are a few- ok, a bunch of movies and tv shows that have like atleast one scene that makes me cry no matter what. Especially if it has anything to do with giving birth or the wife dying. Here are a few of the scenes that open the flood gates, in no particular order. There are more, but these are the ones I could find the clips for. I’ll get a tissue and y’all enjoy. 
Oh- some of these contain SPOILERS, so… if you don’t wanna know the ending don’t watch it.MULAN’s DECISION
A WALK TO REMEMBER ENDING
THE NOTEBOOK – I love any scenes from when they are old.
SENSE AND SENSIBILITY ENDING
CHARLY- I can *think* of the crib scene and cry. :`( (start at 1:25 although the whole scene is good)
ASHLEY PARKER ANGEL – THERE AND BACK (start at around 4:00; This has cuss words, but they are bleeped out. Just wanted to warn you. His cd is really good. Just sayin’.)
Edited to add #7!!!
3. Braveheart
4. Clear and Present Danger
6. The Godfather Trilogy
7. Napoleon Dynamite (Thank you s–max for being my brain! How could I forget Napoleon!!)
Ok, there’s like a ton more, but these are the ones that popped into my head. What movies can you watch over and over again??
