Not what you expect to see when stopping to get gas...
I stopped on my way out of Orlando to put gas on, and this is what I saw!
Long time, no post, I know. Busy month. March is busy, too. Weather has been cold for Florida. A few nice days, but mostly cool.
Went to the Daytona 500. Very excited Mark Martin is running a full schedule this year in the 5 car. Hasn't done well yet, but it's only been 2 races. I think he'll make the Chase, but probably not the championship.
I have kept my list of movies. Here's what I've seen so far this year.
1. Marley and Me (theater) 7/10. Cute story. Loved the dog, but really loved that most of it took place in South Florida and the scenery was great!
2. The Times of Harvey Milk (Online) 8/10. Figured since I saw the movie in the theater I should see the documentary.
3. Rachel Getting Married (theater) 7/10. Had to keep my eyes closed through much of it, it has one of those shakey camera styles that made me sick!
4. The Gymnast (DVD) 6/10. Kind of boring.
5. The Wrestler (theater) 8/10. Good story, great acting.
6. American Teen (DVD) 6.5/10. So-so. Interesting, but not too exciting.
7. Mamma Mia (DVD) 7/10. I did the sing along version on the DVD. It's just a fun movie.
8. Slumdog Millionaire (theater) 9/10. Really good story. Deserved the Oscar for sure.
9. Revolutionary Road (theater) 6/10. I really didn't like Kate Winslet's character. Too whiny to me.
10. Henry Poole is Here (DVD) 7.5/10. Pretty good story.
11. Milk (theater) 9.5/10. Saw it when it was at my local theater for my second viewing. Still good.
12. The Visitor (DVD) 8/10. Loved the story, wish it ended differently!
13. Gran Torino (theater) 7.5/10. Good story, but the acting was kind of off I thought.
14. Save Me (DVD) 7/10. Didn't like the ending that much, but a good story overall.
15. Kissing Jessica Stein (DVD) 8/10. Contains one of my favorite scenes ever-when Jessica and her mom are outside at her brother's rehersal dinner. I think one of the best acting performances I've ever seen.
16. Step Brothers (DVD) 5/10. A few funny scenes, but mostly just dumb.
17. The Great Debators (OnDemand) 7/10. Good story.
18. Religulous (DVD) 6.5/10. Some parts were pretty good, others just dumb.
So 18 movies in the first two months. Not too bad. Currently I'm working my way through Season 2 of The West Wing that I got from the library. That will take some time!
