Do you think that there are enough people in the cast?  I don't.  They could have added a few more to try to draw in people.  Just kidding.  There are like 20 people "starring" in this movie which means that they get about 5 minutes of screen time each!! With this many people in the cast there should be at least a few cute dresses and there sure were! Fashion photos courtesy of Y!movies.

Jessica Biel

Gorgeous!!  I love the fit, color and fabric.  It is different, but not Lady Gaga different, you know what I mean??  And it is romantic.  P.S.  I love her lipstick!

Jennifer Garner

She looks so young and like she is having a good time. I like the leather and lace look, a little toughness with a little softness. This can be hard to pull off, but there is the right amount of lace and leather and not too much skin showing.  I can just imagine some young starlet wearing this, but with their skin showing instead of the nude fabric.  P.S. Love the shoes.

Emma Roberts

She looks young and fresh.  She isn't trying too hard (OK, maybe the shoes are trying too hard) and she looks beautiful.  I love the neckline and waist detailing.  P.S. Her earrings are awesome!

Julia Roberts and Emma Roberts

Just wanted to show Emma with her aunt!  P.S. They have the same smile!

I plan on watching this movie, what about you?

My kind of weekend

This weekend has been my kind of weekend. Friday night Josh and I grabbed some yummy Mexican food, then came back home and watched some of our recorded shows. Well, I watched Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, and Josh was on the computer. Saturday we slept in a bit, then cleaned house. My mom came by a little after noon and we did a little shopping. She was looking for new appliances, so we headed to Lowes. She found the dishwasher, stove, washer and dryer she liked, but no refrigerator. So we have to go look again. Then we headed to the mall and man o man was it busy. We only went to 3 stores and decided to call it quits. Then we headed to my house to pick up Josh and my dad to go get something to eat.


We couldn’t decide between Texas Roadhouse or Abuelo’s, but eventually Texas Roadhouse won out. As we pulled in I spotted my cousin waiting outside. So we got to talk with my cousin and her husband and my other cousin and his girlfriend for 40 minutes while we waited. It made the time go by a lot quicker. We enjoyed good company, good conversation and good food. I love that our parents live only 45 minutes away, so we get to see them often.

This morning we decided to go watch Dear John, well Josh said he would take me to watch it. We went to the 11:10 a.m. show. And apparently if you go to the first showing of the day it only costs $5. So it only cost $10 for the tickets and $9 for the popcorn and Sprite, so that was a pretty cheap date.

I really liked the movie, but I did cry a lot. I had read the book, so I knew what the basis of the movie was going to be. The first time I read the book I didn’t like it, but I have since read it again and I liked it a lot more the second time around. The movie was different than the book, but I knew that they weren’t going to be exactly the same and I like that. I have never seen a movie based on a book that didn’t change things up a little bit, leave parts out or add new parts.

I am a huge Nicholas Sparks fan. I have read all of his books and seen all the movies based on his books. It is hard to say which is my favorite, but I would have to say The Notebook movie and book. My least favorite is probably Three Weeks with my Brother (his autobiography). I thoroughly enjoy all of his other books and movies. Do you have a favorite Nicholas Sparks book or movie?? What about least favorite??

Now it is almost time for the Super Bowl! And I will be watching and it won’t be for the commercials either!! It will be for the Colts. I have followed Peyton Manning since his days at Tennessee and still love to watch him play. Josh is a Dallas fan, so his team isn’t in it, but he is rooting for the Saints. We’ll have to see who wins!!

This definitely has been my kind of weekend. What is your kind of weekend?

My movie weekend

Last weekend Josh and  I watched my fair share of movies.  Not like one or two more like 5 or 6!!  I didn't see Four Christmases in the theatre because I thought it was more rental material.  So when it came out Josh put it in our queue on Netflix.  Well, a month and a half later I still haven't received it because of the Long Wait status (does anyone else have this problem with Netflix?  Always a long wait for the new releases.)  Josh surprised me with it Thursday night!!  And he got it for only $7! Score.  We had 500 Days of Summer and Whip It from Netflix and we got The Hurt Locker, The Surrogates, Carriers and Beyond a Reasonable Doubt from Redbox.  Some we enjoyed and some we didn't!

Four Christmases: We both liked it, it was funnier than what we were expecting.  I love Reese Witherspoon, but don't care much for Vince Vaughn, but in this movie I liked him.  I love the story and how they learn about themselves.  B+


500 Days of Summer: Josh didn't watch it, but unfortunately I did.  I hated it.  I don't like movies that skip around a lot.  It would show day 300 of their relationship, then day 158, then day 389.  It was confusing, plus it was sooo slow.  F

Whip It:: Josh and I really liked it.  It was pretty funny and love the girl power.  Go Hurl Scouts!!  I thought their made up names were pretty innovative: Smashley Simpson, Babe Ruthless and Rosa Sparks to name a few.  I did keep picturing Ellen Page in Juno though.  A-

The Hurt Locker:  I rarely watch rated R movies, but I made an exception with this one.  It had a lot of cursing and violence, but that is expected in a war movie.  Josh and I loved this movie. I liked that the cast weren't "big" movie stars; it was more of an independent movie.  A

Surrogates: Bruce Willis needs to be in better movies.  Josh and I put this on, but I couldn't watch it.  It was boring and not my kind of movie.  I am not into Sci-Fi.  We should have turned it off!  F
Carriers:  I don't remember seeing Piper Perabo in anything since Coyote Ugly, but this wasn't memorable.  I don't think there was enough background to the story.  It kind of jumped in and it didn't fill in some of the details.  It was definitely a straight to DVD kind of movie.  C

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt: I think this might have been a straight to DVD movie because I don't remember it coming to theatres.  But, Josh and I liked it. There was a definite twist to the movie, that was interesting and I didn't pick up on.  I liked the suspense and the actors, even though they aren't "big" stars they are known.  B

So I give The Hurt Locker, Whip It, Four Christmases and Beyond a Reasonable Doubt a thumbs up and Surrogates and Carriers a big thumbs down!  If you want more info on the movies you can read their plots at http://www.imdb.com/ .
