The Newest Resident of Tiffany Club

Its hard to see, but that's a baby alligator in the middle on the fountain. He's been around a few weeks now.

More movies:

11. Wild Hogs (theater) 6/10 Kind of funny. Nice story.

12. Borat (DVD) 5/10 Some parts were really funny, some parts were really, really dumb.

13. Charlotte's Web (DVD) 6/10. Sorta cheesy. The cartoon (and the book) are much better. If you don't like spiders, you won't like to watch this, 'cause the spider looks pretty real most of the time.

14. The Hoax (theater) 6/10. I'm not sure what to think of this. It was an interesting story, but the guy was a real jerk. But since Richard Gere was playing him, he almost seemed likeable.

15. The History Boys (DVD) 8/10. Great story, funny, intellectual.

I hopefully found a new apartment in which to live. Turned in the application yesterday. It's really nice and quite a deal. So we'll see!

The Death Trees are still blooming

...that's what I'm calling them, death trees. I don't think I've sneezed this much in my whole life! Lot's of people are having allergy issues this week.

Here's my movie list for the weekend.

5. Annie Hall (DVD) 6/10. It was ok. Sometimes Woody Allen is really funny, sometimes not. Awhile back I watched "Scoop" which I really liked.

6. The Namesake (Theater) 9/10. Different than I expected, but an excellent movie.

7. Mallrats (DVD) 7/10. I hadn't seen this since College. Since I've been on a Kevin Smith kick I thought I'd watch it again. As with all of his movies, some parts are just hillarious, other parts dumb.

8. Come Early Morning (DVD) 6/10. A Sundance entry this year by Joey Lauren Adams. Ashely Judd starred. It was a little boring.

9. Shut Up and Sing- Dixie Chicks documentary. (DVD) 8/10. I really liked the parts that showed them recording their latest album. I didn't know whether or not to buy it 'cause I didn't really like the only single I've heard -Not Ready to Make Nice. The rest of the album sounds pretty good so I'll probably buy it.

10. Rocky Balboa (DVD) 8/10. When I first saw previews for this movie in the theater I thought "how dumb". Maybe it was because I had low expectations, but I loved the movie.


I did watch a lot this weekend because I had no energy to do much else, and going outside made things worse! I did manage to go up to the Kohls in Melboune and found the comforter set that I had wanted since last summer on clearance for 80% off! So instead of $190 it was $37. Heck of a deal.

Hey, I'm updating my blog, are pigs flying?

There is a certain tree here in South Florida that's really pretty, it has large round clusters of these yellow flowers. Very pretty, but I have discovered I'm very allergic! I'll try to take a picture and post it here. You can smell all the blooming trees in the air right now, even though there may not be any nearby...

I've been reading about all these people who have goals of watching 365 new movies (or movies I haven't seen in years) in a year. I thought I'd give it a try starting this week. Since I'm already about 90 days into the year, I'll go for 300 by December 31. I'll list them all here to keep track. Movies are in the theater, DVD, and whole movies on tv. I'll try to rate them and give a short review. So far this week I have:

1. A Good Year (DVD) Russel Crowe inherits a vineyard in France. 6/10. Better than I expected, but pretty predictable.

2. Blades of Glory (Theater) 7/10. As with most of these kinds of movies, some parts were really funny and others kind of lame. There were more lame parts than funny, but still entertaining.

3. Premonition (Theater) Sandra Bullock movie where she sees her husband is going to die and keeps going back and forth between her "premonitions" and real life, and gets confused and everyone thinks she's crazy. It was ok. 6/10. Some parts really didn't make sense if you really thought about it, and there were a few things that weren't believable at all.

4. Reign Over Me (Theater) 8/10. Excellent movie. Great story, and funny, too.

I usually go to the theater on Tuesday nights because with my Regal Club Card, I get free popcorn!

I'm also in the middle of watching "An Evening with Kevin Smith" which is totally hillarious. Clerks 2 was probably in my top 3 movies of 2006.

I'm hoping to get up to Vero to see "The Namesake" this weekend. It's not going to show here at my theater (dang, I won't earn points then!)
