Netflix Rocks

As many of my readers know, I am a Netflix junky. I watch between 2 and 5 movies per week. Sometimes I sit down and watch them and sometimes I multitask while viewing. This weeks latest picture was the new release of "Definitely, Maybe". I always appreciate little sayings that are contradictory in itself. My favorite being "consistently inconsistent", but I digress. Back to the movie, it was one I really wanted to see in person, but my movie partner Nick flat out refused because A) it was by the creators of Love Actually (a movie that I have subjected him to so many times he knows all the characters names and yet still does not like the movie) and B) it is from the writers of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Nick thinks British people are full of themselves. Hey, I didn't say I agree with him! So I was forced to wait til DVD release. Low and behold I received it the first day it came out and excitedly ran home and popped it into the DVD player. Wow...... what can I say. Kinda disappointing? maybe. Definitely, maybe.

First of all, I don't think super cutie frat boy Ryan Reynolds can hold a movie by himself. Though nice to look at he seemed to mock the whole movie he was acting in! And the "love interests" were all kind of boring to me. With the exception of Isla Fisher who's hair is so beautiful I just stare at it jealously. I waited months for this one and maybe the hype got to me, but it was somber and really slow and dare I say boring? I had to force myself to stay up until 11pm to finish it because I wanted to put it in the mail this morning.

Random Facts about Erin

1.) I have never mowed a lawn in my life. Not that I am too prissy or have been banned from it, but I have never gotten the opportunity. Growing up my mom loved her lawns and never wanted me to "screw it up" which I probably would have , and now that I have my own lawn, I can't start my lawn mower because it is a big ol' dinosaur! But hey, it keeps chugging along...no?

2.) I try so hard to be graceful and light on my feet but most of the time I feel like one of the dancing hippo's in Fantasia.

3.) I love making To Do lists. I get a lot of satisfaction when I get to cross off a task!

4.) I love 80's gay pop music such as Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Yaz,etc.

5.) I still get teary eyed and excited at the end of ET the Extra Terrestrial when the kids are on their BMX bikes running from the feds and they start to lift off the ground and fly through the air over the forest. My heart still jumps up into my throat!

6.) I am quite Obsessive Compulsive. Example: if I don't make my bed in the morning I think about it all day until I get home and make it again just to undo it to go to sleep.

Wow...this says VOLUMES!

Indiana Jones review

Let me be the first to say I did not expect much from the lastest installment of the Indiana Jones movies. In my opinion, they should have just left well enough alone. I love me some Harrison Ford, but I really thought he may be getting a little old to don the fedora one more time. Well I was sorely mistaken. Not only was he as handsome as ever (love the facial scruff)but they brought back MARION RAVENWOOD! My favorite heroine of all the movies. She was the only one to fight back and kick a little ass. Well she did not disappoint. She was as feisty as ever and the chemistry between Indy and Marion was undeniable. Plus Shia Labouf is in this movie and not to sound too pervy but YUUUUUUMMMMMMERRRRSSSSSS! That boy can ride a motorcycle like no one's business! Besides some slight instances of ridiculous, such as a Tarzan-esque segment and a killer ant scenario, a good time was had by all. I jumped, I screamed and laughed the entire time. Even Cate Blanchett's terrible accent couldn't distract me.

Love you Jen!

I just finished Jen Lancaster's new book "Such a Pretty Fat" and may I say: I have such a fondness for overweight, sarcastic, narcissists! A bit of camaraderie maybe? Call it what you will but in her own way, she is making the whole world better by laughing about subjects that we all hate and all of us experience. This time we find Jen battling weight loss. Oh the hilarity that ensues, including wanting to slap her Weight Watchers Leader and ditching Jenny Craig because they won't listen to her. In previous books she makes us laugh about her family, her very Republican husband, her 2 psycho spoiled dogs, her hatred of her pesky neighbors and her unemployment. Highly recommend her website: www.jennsylvania.com and other books: Bitter is the new Black and Bright Lights Big Ass.
