My nap...It's so important to rest when you can. My nap times are more erratic, but usually afternoons, too, when I can actually take one. I can only watch one two hour movie a day on good days or I don't sleep. I enjoyed Australia, though, and there's another really funny romantic comedy with High Jackman and Ashley Judd. Have you seen The Family Stone? Another good one. And google the one with Kevin Kostner and Shirley McClaine and Brad Pitt's ex..my memory is the pits. Really funny and good.Prishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970753027686923295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-18746234658917907882010-02-24T08:16:26.158-05:002010-02-24T08:16:26.158-05:00Kerry -

I usually have a note on the door that says "do not ring the doorbell" because we get a lot of package deliveries (stuff to review) and the UPS guy ALWAYS comes between 1 and 1:30...he knows by now to just leave stuff! In this case, though, I did actually need to answer the door - messed up my whole day!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-83510873088836101722010-02-23T21:04:53.159-05:002010-02-23T21:04:53.159-05:00Hey Sue, Darn timing of the doorbell...notice it ...Hey Sue, Darn timing of the doorbell...notice it does tend to ring during naps, phone calls etc. Exciting though about Jamie being in the UIC study.<br /><br />The soloist--Can't say the title without hearing the music and Jamie Foxx and Robert Downing Jr. were amazing in it.<br /><br />I read Timeline and loved it, so think I'll take your advice and pass on the movie.<br /><br />The dysfunctional family movie --Imaginary Hereos going to put that on our netflix que. Nothing like a dysfunctional family movie done with dark humor.<br /><br />I didn't watch a single movie this weekend...so don't have input this time. Olympics is drawing my attention. Woman's figure skating tonight.<br /><br />Glad today was a better emotional day Sue...even without that nap.Kerryhttp://www.lemon-aideonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-18584774333861035852010-02-23T19:38:30.052-05:002010-02-23T19:38:30.052-05:00Sue, thanks for you comment on my blog this evenin...Sue, thanks for you comment on my blog this evening!

Shutter Island and (especially) The Blind Side both look great, but it's rare that we get to the theater to see movies on the big screen! Maybe when they come out on DVD...<br /><br />We have the book Shutter Island - I might read it.<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-15744600342601050502010-02-23T14:01:25.579-05:002010-02-23T14:01:25.579-05:00I love your Movie Mondays!

Also, The Blind Side. Yes, definitely the last one. Family friendly movie for the win.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910318186594054287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-1976578905140391932010-02-23T10:06:16.483-05:002010-02-23T10:06:16.483-05:00Jo -

An excellent movie.<br /><br />LoveFilm sounds like Netflix in the US. I still rely on the library and an occasional $1 rental from Redbox, a new DVD vending machine that we have all over town.<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-24905642494285358252010-02-23T10:04:19.774-05:002010-02-23T10:04:19.774-05:00Dominique -

And I really like both Morgan Freeman and Jamie Foxx. Glad you enjoyed some good movies this weekend, too!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-1889424413373976882010-02-23T05:16:02.747-05:002010-02-23T05:16:02.747-05:00I'm glad you are through the worst of the dump...I'm glad you are through the worst of the dumps. It's not a great place to be.<br /><br />I like Movie Monday, it's a one stop shop for interesting stuff I might order off LoveFilm. I pay a subscription and they send me DVDs from a list I compile online. <br /><br />This week I watched The Kite Runner which is an emotionally literate film and miles from the usual Hollywood schtick. It's worth sticking with the subtitles which don't run all the way through.<br /><br />Have a better week Sue!Dusty Bogwranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378437798741434260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-90458627467523216392010-02-22T22:02:30.468-05:002010-02-22T22:02:30.468-05:00Those are some great movies.

I just watched the "law abiding citizen" and "unleashed." <br /><br />I doubt you would like them as the first one has a pretty severe seen - not really gory but you know what is happening even if you don't see it - and the second one has Jet Li in with some incredible fighting choreography in it. <br /><br />What I liked about the 2 movies was their messages. In Law Abiding Citizen it was about how our actions always have consequences and in the end we are accountable for them. (It is a legal-like Movie)<br /><br />The second has a message about how no matter how much others take from you, and continue to take from, AND no matter what others claim you are, there is a place called 'home' where you can find your true self and become the best you can be.<br /><br />As a side note, I was in the mood for some real butt kicking, action movies. <br /><br />I'm glad you and your son are doing a little better today.dominiquehttp://www.4wallsandaview.comnoreply@blogger.com
