I decided to go to a movie yesterday afternoon but the movie I saw wasn't the one I had intended to see. I wanted to see Pride, a new British film about a group of gays that raised money for a small Welsh mining town during a strike in the 80s and I thought it started at 3:20. I got on the bus at 2:40 and figured I'd get there just in time. I ( Read more... )

I went to see a wonderful movie on Monday evening called The Grand Budapest Hotel. I think it was released some months ago but it's only just opened here a few weeks ago. My friend and I were chomping at the bit waiting for it and it did not disappoint. It's also a bit hard to describe properly but here goes ( Read more... )

I wanted to go to a movie today and couldn't decide between August: Osage County and American Hustle. In the end, I went with American Hustle because I wasn't in the mood for anything overly emotional today and I thought Osage probably would be. See, it's been 8 years today since Dad died and while I'm ok, it wouldn't take much, yannow? After the ( Read more... )

Been a good weekend so far. I like when that happens. Most weekends, especially through the winter, I don't do very much unless Mom and I go out shopping somewhere. Friday was a day off and my cousin came over to help me put the book case together that Mom gave me for my birthday. There's two small bullet like bits missing, not sure what happened ( Read more... )

Christmas itself was very nice, it always is. The season hasn't started very well with the death of my cousin's wife and the funeral was Monday morning (Christmas Eve). He was a little wobbly once or twice but got through it pretty well. The eulogy was by her younger sister and was amazing. One of the best i've heard. The gist of it was not to put ( Read more... )

Went to an early showing of Men in Black III tonight with a friend. Sort of an early birthday dinner as she'll be in TO next week on business. We had a quick bite at Tim's first. Loved the movie, good fun! Will Smith's character goes back to 1969 to prevent Tommy Lee Jones's character from being killed. Josh Brolin played a young Agent K and wow ( Read more... )

Just another manic mondayyyyyy .....
Well it should be less manic than last monday which was rife with mystery and confusion. We know what the problem is now, and we already have a pretty good plan of action. Just need to nail down the details.

Saw Brave yesterday. I'm not sure if i've ever gone to see an animated movie at the theatres before. I must ( Read more... )

I didn't mention that i went to see Mirror Mirror last Thursday with a friend. It was as expected, not a deep movie, not hugely comic but it had funny stuff and was light and fluffy and fun. The costumes were bright and very nice and I enjoyed Julia Roberts since i like her anyway. It's a take on Snow White with Julia as the queen who has taken ( Read more... )
