April Movie Madness

okay so we're still slacking in the movie watching department and with the weather the way it's been i don't think it's going to be getting much better anytime soon.

The Usual Suspects - your basic boy movie with a nice twist ending. i've been forced to watch this movie before and i think i liked it better the second time around. this movie is a bit hard to follow and if it wasn't one of Chris's favorite movies i'd probably say that i didn't really like it. Score= B

The Business of Being Born - a documentary about the history of birth in the US and a good look at the current state of the birthing industry. it definitely has a pro natural (unmedicated) birth slant. needless to say this hits a soar note for me as i tried twice for this specific kind of birth and failed miserably both times. however even with that history i was able to enjoy the film and really see the truth in what was being said. since there is about a 5% chance i'll ever give birth again it was probably pointless for me to watch. a really perfect movie for anyone expecting a baby in the near future. it's always good to know all your options. Score= B

SCORE
A= loved it and will definitely watch it again
B= liked it but probably won't watch it again
C= didn't really like it and definitely won't watch it again
D= couldn't even finish it

Speaking of movies, i must comment here while my husband is on the other computer reading Chris's blog.

"No wonder you and Dia get along so well," he says. I have no idea what he is talking about until he quotes your husbands blog: "Then she said, why do you do that? Stop hyping up movies like that! When you tell me something is the best thing in the world, my natural reaction is to take the opposite opinion, to pick it apart, and actively try and find flaws in it."

So i must have a disclaimer here: i do not do that! i think i don't anyway, maybe sometimes!

Chris and I need to get together and watch movies sometimes -- The Usual Suspects is one of my all-time favs. It is a bit hard to follow at the beginning, but sucks you in. And the ending is outstanding.


Gina and I watched Little Miss Sunshine a few weeks ago and we both loved it.
