Mid-Week Random Ramblings

Good Morning!

I think I am going to make Wednesdays my random ramblings day!

1. Movies.

Like them? Hate them? Couldn't be bothered?

I love movies. Going to the theatre, watching them at home, you name it!

Thought I'd recap what I've seen lately:

A) The Black Swan

 
I honestly don't know what to say. I've never seen a movie quite like it. I didn't love it; I didn't hate it. Her performance was convincing, the movie was very dramatic. It was weird. It stayed with me for days afterwards; not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Really glad Rebecca abandoned ballet when she did, though!!

B) The Fighter

 

Loved it. Christian Bale was hearbreaking, Mark Wahlberg very convincing, loved the supporting cast too. Those sisters! Yikes. How many ways can you spell dysfunctional??

C)  The Social Network

 

Excellent. Jesse Eisenberg was outstanding. I know there's a lot of talk about what's true and what's not and at the end of the day only a handful of people will ever know that, but it still makes for a great story.

D)  True Grit

 

Loved this! Didn't know if I would because I started watching the original and it was pretty hokey, but it was great.  Sad scene with a horse, those still get me, but great movie.

E) Case 39

 

This one had promise, it really did, it started out strong and hello? Bradley Cooper in a scary movie? I'm in! But, like most 'thrillers', it disintegrated very quickly.

There were a few more that are escaping me at the moment; I'll add them to my list next time!

OK, what else?

2. Looking forward to this:

 
Really loved some of those teams, and the show needed a shake up!

3. And this:

 
 
Although, if they have to roll Boston Rob out for a 4th attempt at the million bucks, I think the show might just be in trouble?

 That's all I've got for today.

Make sure you come back tomorrow, there might be a giveaway. . . . just sayin' :)

Thanks for the reviews. I like movies but hate theatres. I'll be watching them while on holiday - on DVD - this summer :) I'm looking forward to AR too! I'll be back tomorrow ...

Only one I have seen is True Grit and really enjoyed it, a very well done movie! All the others I am waiting to watch them here at home. For some reason I have never been caught up in the Survivor and Amazing Race shows.

Loved the reviews. Have you seen the King's Speech yet? Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush were pretty amazing...
