I just finished watcing Warm Bodies and it was awesome!

I tend to not like zombies, mainly because I can't find them scary when (in most cases) there's no higher brain function and they don't move very fast.

But this movie was a fun twist on that, plus it was also well mixed with Romeo and Juliet and it worked! Also, the soundtrack was awesome.

And Nicholas Hoult has grown up *very* well.

I rewatched the Kenneth Branagh version of Much Ado About Nothing today and really enjoyed it (again). I can't wait for Joss's version. A few of the actors I know are going to be awesome as their characters, and a few I'm not sure about. And if Nathan has a fraction of the fun with Dogberry that Michael Keaton did, I think it's going to be awesome.

I must be a bad hopeless romantic. I've seen two of the movies based on his books (The Notebook and Safe Haven), but have no desire to read any of his books because I'm really bored by the movies.

The Vow is a cute movie and definitely worth watching.

On DVD: Finding Bliss It's an interesting twist on romantic comedies. And it stars Leelee Sobieski and Matt Davis (Alaric Saltzman on "Vampire Diaries").


In the cinema: Warrior It's a family drama with mixed martial arts. It stars Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton, and Nick Nolte.


I can't say enough good things about either of them. They were both amazing, awesome, full of win, [insert your own glowingly positive adjective].

And the funny thing about Warrior is that I saw a preview for it about a month or so ago on a dvd my mom and I were watching and I thought, "Hmm, that looks interesting. I'll have to rent it." Then I started seeing previes for it on TV. Regularly. (Which eternalmusings will tell you is a rare thing because some how I always manage to not see movie previews.) And it changed to, "OMG! I NEED TO SEE THAT MOVIE!!!" And I have no idea why. But I'm *so* glad I did. It was so worth it.

Whee! It's the weekend!

I'm at Dana's now. I was going to teach her how to knit, but we got sidetracked with other things and watching Life as We Know It - which was cute. We're now watching Sorcerer's Apprentice - which I really enjoy.

And her pets love me - even the shy kitty. :-P

I had to get up early this morning to play bells at church. I didn't stay for the whole service, just left after the second song, but it went well.

libralyte and I went out for breakfast and then went to the mall. We walked around the whole mall and poked in different stores. I was hoping to find a new pair of Birkenstocks (or something similar), but the only pair I found was $120, and I'd rather not pay that much if at all possible. I was good and did not go into Yankee Candle or buy anything when we went into Teavana. I also pulled libralyte into Lush, since J's talked about it a bunch and it seems pretty awesome. So I may have to go back and buy something small to try out.

When we got back, we watched a movie she'd brought called TiMER, starring Emma Caufield, about having a way to find out when you'd meet your soulmate, and if you'd want to know. After a late lunch, I showed her my England pictures, since she also knows drdeath.

I hung out for a bit after she left, then went to my Bible study.

I'm still not sold on "Breakout Kings", but tonight's episode was AWESOME. Granted, I thought it was because T-Bag was in it and Robert Knepper's awesome.

Just One Night with Timothy Hutton is very cute. And it's fun to see a modern-day screwball comedy.

Did some running around this morning - bank to deposit Christmas $$$; Grandparents' to drop off the cookie tray, a book I had promised to my Grammy, and a present we forgot to give them from my dad's gf, C; and then to church to pick up the poinsettia.

Then got food from Panera and watched two episodes of "Lost". And episode 2x18, "Dave", was a really good and sad one. Wow.

Went up to friend J's house. We ran a couple of her errands and then hung out for a while before ordering Chinese food and watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

And now that Christmas is over, I decided to use the 3 $25 Amazon.com gift certificates I had traded credit card points for. I got the SGA season 5 dvds, Short Circuit, and 4 cds and only spent $6.90. (And I think that was because one of the cds was used.)

It's funny because it's true - "It starts with the eyes": The Homoeroticism of Fast and Furious by Jennifer Smith (contains spoilers)

And I'm intrigued about this movie - I Love You, Phillip Morris.
