True to my word
I made last night a movie night, and what a night it was! Watched Sweet November, which starred Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves. I dove into the movie having never even heard of it before, but found it delightful and uplifting in a strange way. And, for about four or five minutes, there is a scene with Frank Langella! Some of you who know me may be able to figure out why I got so excited over that!
Then I watched Velvet Goldmine before finally succumbing to sleep much earlier than I thought I would.
Speaking of movies, is anyone else as excited as me about this?
It’s Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. I had a YouTubed vid here, but apparently it was taken down. Sorry! But the IMDB page appears to have some great stills!
Oh, how I hope it comes to our local IMAX! But I kind of doubt it.
Speaking of movies, I took a trip down memory lane for today’s Thursday 13. These are 13 movies that I saw during my senior year in high school, and many were dates with my first boyfriend. Aww.
