Baby Mama

We saw the movie Baby Mama this weekend. It’s not the type of movie I would normally watch but a friend wanted to see it and he had been asking for a few weeks for us to go with him and his partner. We bought our tickets on line and invited a few other people and when it came down to it, the friend who really wanted to go see it never showed up. Apparently he overslept or something.

The movie was hilarious. It’s all predictable but you still have a good time laughing at their silly antics. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are both amazingly good. It also has a lot of good actors like Sigourney Weaver and Steve Martin. Normally, I don’t enjoy movies with Steve Martin because he seems to be a bit to over-the-top but it was a much toned down version of his normal acting.

Anyway, the story line is this: Successful unmarried woman (Tina Fey) puts her career before family, now she wants to have a baby. Woman tries adoption and to get pregnant but she cant so she turns to an agency that finds surrogate mothers (owned by Sigourney Weaver) and she is matched with Amy Poehler’s character. The surrogate lies about being pregnant so she can continue getting checks, she breaks up with her boyfriend and movies in with her…funny scenes follow. I won’t ruin the end just in case you want to watch it.

Thanksgiving and Movies

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Are you stuffed? I am. I ate way to much but the food was so good that I couldn't resist.

I spent it with my family. B went to see his family.

What did you do?

I watched two movies last week, American Gangster and Beowulf. You definetly have to go see American Gangster, the movie is a little long and there isn't as much action as one would expect with a gangster movie but story is very interesting. They take the time to build the characters so you actually feel connected and end up hoping the gangsters don't get caught. Go see it.

Beowulf on the other hand was a complete dissapointment. It's a animated, 3-D movie with a great story line that didn't translate on the screen. Perhaps it was the animation, perhaps it was the laughter in the movie theater, perhaps I was tired but I totally regret seeing this movie. It's definetly a rental...or you can watch it on
Online Cinema for free. I love this site and if you haven't heard of it before you need to check it out.

The site allows you to view movies that are playing on the big screen in the comfort of your own home without having to pay $10 per ticket. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Love of my life

I watched the movie l'amour Dangereux this weekend and I am in love with Nicolas Cazale. I don't think I have to explain much, just look at the pictures below.

It's cold

It is snowing/sleeting here in Dallas. It is cold.

My office closed at noon and I went and picked up a bottle of wine, fire logs, and some movies. One of my friends is coming over and we are going to have Abuelita Chocolate (Mexican hot chocolate) and curl up and watch movies.

I love days like today.
