My new favorite movie…

and much like Spanglish ~ when i fell in love with that movie… i picked it up ‘cause i needed some fluff in my life and figured i could stare blankly at the movie… not have to think too much… if i’m lucky i’ll giggle occasionally but it would very much balance out the other flick that i rented that is much more the kind that I LOVE… which was also amazing Children of Men… see it SOOO very good ~ terrifying ~ but good

Anyway ~ yeah i was wrong… Jack Black proved to be endearin’ in much the same way that Adam did in Spanglish not typically two actors that make flicks i have to see… Kate Winslet is always lovely ~ when she isn’t flyin’ off the front of a ship… sorry for you Titanic lovers not a fan… and Cameron Diaz was not over the top funny but just enough with the right mix of angst to make you not hate her for claiming to have issues with men… lol

i sat and watched this movie… in utter amazement ~ they took four very different but distinct aspects of my personality and ‘characterized’ them in each of the main player ~ oh yeah forgot Jude Law is pretty amazing in it as well as a single dad with two small children who well just feels like the package deal he has to offer is probably more than anyone would really want to be a part of…

i’m sure those that know me really well will TOTALLY see what i’m talkin’ about ~ regardless… i don’t much watch ‘chick flicks’ ~ i like suspense… indie flicks that give my too many thoughts something to focus on for a bit so i’m not as scattered all about ~ but on the very rare occasion… when i pick one up… well it’s nice to be surprised and not bored.. The Holiday ~ if you are on the fence… don’t be ~ it really is a good movie… not award winnin’ life changin’ good or anything like that… but real without being depressing i guess… lol ~ i’ll leave you with a few of my favorite quotes…

Arthur to Iris ‘…in the movies, we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason, you're behaving like the best friend.’

Iris ~ ‘You are absolutely right. You're supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for God's sake!’

Miles to Iris ~ ‘… i wrote a melody for you too… i only used the good notes.’
