About a Boy--Hugh Grant--Toni Collette--Nicholas Hoult

About a wealthy man who never worked a day in his life (he lives off his father's christmas  music royalties.) He is egotistical, and doesn't have time to care for anyone.
Then a boy pops into his life, and nothing will ever be the same.
The best part of this movie is it's dry humor.
 Normally, movies like this have a great deal of slapstick comedy, which I despise, but this one is well written and well acted. I love every part of it.

About a Boy

In writing this I just found out there is going to be a TV sitcom with the same name. Usually this doesn't work out well, and becomes very disappointing, but I have my fingers crossed. It starts on February 22 on NBC!
Wow, Minnie Driver is going to star in it. I hope it does well.
But either way the movie is perfect!

GLADIATOR--Are you not entertained!!

I have always loved history, and ancient Rome is fascinating to me.

This breathtaking movie stars Russel Crow and 

Joaquin phoenix, who are two of my favorite actors. Joaquin

plays Commodus, who is an emperor of Rome, and who is quite

mad. 

I felt he had a resemblance to Caligula  who was an extremely insane ruler
of Rome who was assassinated, and his uncle put in charge.

Joaquin Phoenix is so believable as the deranged ruler, but in some way 
enticing, and Russel Crow won an academy award for his superb
performance. 
If you haven't seen it yet --please watch and enjoy!

This really doesn't have anything to do with the movie. I just think the shoes
are cool, except I like them better without heels.

Terminator

       I love all things Terminator. From the moment I watched 
        the first terminator on the old reliable VHS I was hooked.
         At the end of the movie I fell to my knees on the floor
        screaming, "push the button!"
        I have loved every terminator movie since that fateful day.

Push the button!

Terminator 2 is thought to be the best of all the movies.
 We meet John Connor for the first time! Sarah Connor
 is not the lovable waitress from the first movie, but a bad
 ass. The special effects from 23 years ago are still good.

Run!

Terminator 3- Rise of the Machines, is my least favorite,
 and had the worst reviews of the four movies. I still loved it,
 cause 'duh'  it's the terminator. I didn't feel that the actor
 playing John Connor, Nick Stahl, could pull off the role, 
though I think otherwise he is a good actor. 

I like your gun!

Terminator 4 is a great movie, and Christian Bale pulled
 off John Connor perfectly! A lot of people didn't like
 this movie, and I can't figure out why! It's a wonderful
 movie. Sam Worthington plays a very unique part. 

The great news is that terminator 5: Genesis will be coming
 out in 2015. The weird thing is that a young Sara Connor is
 one of the characters, and Arnold will be back. Maybe it's
 the time period between the 2nd and 3rd movie. I cannot
 wait.

Hasta La Vista
