Popcorn and Diet Pepsi!

Morning everyone. I know I've been absent for a while but I've been out of town and now I'm back :) with the Monday blues :( And I missed the red carpet, but I'll definitely watch it in the next couple of days and I'll let you know my best and worst dressed for this year! I'm also watching Alice in Wonderland tonight and I'm soooooo excited. But anyway, I watched quite a few movies this week and I miss it! Sitting home and watching movies.. *sigh* So anyway, I watched Everybody's Fine, let me tell you.. Robert De Niro got to me. His performance was so tantillizing and so honest, you actually feel everything he's feeling. It's excellent and contrary what a lot of people thought, including myself, it is NOT a comedy. I also watched Hachiko, I had never heard of the movie or anything about it, and I didn't even know that Richard Gere had anyt
hing new released, until this weekend. When they told me it was a story of a man and his dog, and a lot of the movie is from the dog's point of view, I felt I was about to cry. I wasn't in the mood for dogs and whatever, but I sucked it up. Had it not been with the 3 strangers watching it with me I would've definitely bawled. It was really difficult to fight back the tears, but I think I did a pretty good job. No one noticed the two tears the rolled down my cheek but it's all good. It's really slow, but the music was fantastic and it's such a sad story. A true one I might add. I know my dad is going to love it. Sherlock Holmes? Epic! unlike Hachiko, this movie is quite fast. No dull moment.. And the beauty of this film, it's as if the writer sat in the viewer's head, because any questions you might have, are answered. Very well done, and I think they should make more Sherlock Holmes movies. And if Robert Downey Jr.'s looks never did it for you.. I'm almost positive you'll be weak at the knees. Up in the Air, was surprisingly not boring. Clooney is so dreamy.
It's not a happily every after tale, or very much of a happy ending.. It's real. It speaks to the viewer. Not my favorite movie, and I'll probably forget about it, but it's entertaining, contemporary and so real.
I need oget back to work, and I'll let you know how Alice in Wonderland goes. I've been hearing so many mixed reviews that I don't know what to expect!
