long, lazy weekends...

the last holiday weekend of summer is upon us... major plans? Nope, took friday thru monday off at work and i'm just getting ready to start round two of movies... looks like it will be many trips to the video store for me this weekend...which is just fine, since i'm actually utilizing the tool that is on www.hollywoodvideo.com. If you register with them and rate some movies, it will recommend movies for you to watch. Here is what i rented yesterday, and some of my recommendations for today:

Sahara - it was pretty good, based on a Clive Cussler book - i remember my ex hubby reading this book, he didn't like it when it was a collaboration between Clive and someone else and that's what this book was... but overall, decent movie... and Matthew McConaughey looks mighty fine without a shirt on!!!

A lot like love - the modern day "When Harry Met Sally" (on my top ten, harry is) - cute movie, but as we all know, it's a movie, things don't work out perfect in the real world... but worth the rental

Prozac Nation - wow, this was really good, based on the book by the author Elizabeth Wurtzel (sp) - excellent... so many people, myself included, have been or is on some type of anti-depressant - it's crazy really the hold that depression has on you... it's even crazier the lengths we go thru to try to hide it...

Sleepy Hollow - yes, i know, old movie, but damn, was it good... plus, it has johnny... and not only is he incredible to look at, he is a damned fine actor

Anchorman - ok, yeah, it was funny, but not all it was cracked up to be... there were some funny parts, and i was very excited to see Vince Vaughn in it... but other than that, i'm glad i rented it vs. going to see it in the theater

So, today's movies are all old ones, but i have never seen any of them... you can kind of tell, i'm on a "mob" kick:
Casino, Donnie Brasco, A Bronx Tale, Big Fish and Dead Poets Society

off to watch movies... have a happy and safe holiday weekend....
