SATC:Movie
After waiting and counting down the days my sister and I saw the Sex & The City movie Friday night. We really had a good time, dinner first and a couple of yummy drinks then caught the 10:10pm showing. The place was packed with women, all just as excited as we were. Ok, maybe not "all". But most! It was a good thing we bought our tickets so far in advanced because even getting there an hour before the show time we had at least 20 women in line ahead of us.
I wont give away any spoilers but I can tell you the movie was FABULOUS ! We both loved every minute of it. If you are a real SATC fan, you wont be disappointed.

Juno a second time
I took my 20 yr old daughter out last night for a bite to eat and then we caught the 7:00 showing of Juno at the dollar show. It was the second time seeing it for me and I enjoyed just as much as the first. I know it's coming out on DVD this month but I really wanted Bethany to see it on the big screen if possible. Of course she also really loved it. I thought it was so good, I could watch it again and still enjoy it. It's defiantly one I'll be adding to our home collection.

Pizza and beer night
Our daughter was invited to a sleep over at her best friends house. So, I just ran out in the snow to surprise my husband with a pizza and beer night tonight, complete with a scary movie. I rented 30 Days of Night! I'll let you know what I think tomorrow. The preview looks pretty scary to me.

T.G.I.F.
I am so happy today is Friday. I have been alone in the office the last couple of days and it's been usually busy. I plan to make two stops on my way home today. One to the store for Diet Coke and snacks and the other to the video store to rent a few DVDs for the weekend. After Allison is in bed tonight, I see my feet up and my mind escaping in a movie. This week has kicked my butt !

A Girls 3D Afternoon
We had a great time this afternoon. The show was sold out and filled with little girls singing and dancing the entire time.
We let Allison and her girlfriend take over the living room about an hour before it was time to go so they could warm up.

Quick DVD Reviews
The Borne Ultimatum -
Loved it. I thought it was really well done and entertaining. I liked it more then the second instalment but not as much as the first. Matt Damon is perfect for these movies.
Death Sentence -
Wicked ! Very over the top. Extremely violent and depressing. Yet I was glued to it. If you can handle the violence it's worth the rent. It's just not one to watch right before going to bed. My husband and I both tossed and turned a lot that night.
The Game Plan -
My eight year old daughter piked this movie for our family movie night. We all piled in the living room with popcorn and watched it together. It's not easy to find a movie we all can enjoy but I think this one made our list. Even my husband said it wasn't bad. It's a lot of fun for the kids with out being too silly or torturous for the parents.

Family movie night
Our office has been pretty quiet so I have today off. I am waiting for Allison to come home from a half day of school and then we have a list of errands to run this afternoon. One being a trip to the video store. I promised her a family movie night tonight with hot dogs or pizza for dinner. Everything tonight is her choice. I try to let her plan an evening for all of us at least once every six weeks. It's always a good time and it's been a while.
I have about three more hours to myself before the school bus brings her home.
I think I'll do some blog surfing and maybe a quick little morning nap before showering. I love three day weekends.

HBO Goes Online
HBO announced today that they are going to have movies and HBO original series like Entourage or The Sopranos in its entirety available to download on line on a monthly basis.
Very cool ! I hope the other cable stations are soon to follow. I hate being a whole season behind while waiting for shows like Weeds and Dexter to come out on DVD.

Hey, hey...Alvin
I am taking my daughter and her best girlfriend to the movies tonight to see The Alvin & The chipmunks Movie. She is so excited. She was worried since she spent most of her holiday vacation being sick that she would be the only third grader to return to school that still hadn't seen this movie.

Rest assured little girl, your mom has ya covered!

Netflix Partners With LG
NetFlix wants to strike deals with electronics companies that will let it send movies straight to TV screens over the Internet. Its first partnership, announced Wednesday night, is with the South Korean manufacturer LG Electronics to stream movies and other programming to LG’s high-definition televisions.
The partnership will extend a novel feature from Netflix, announced a year ago, that allows paying subscribers to watch any of 6,000 movies and television shows on its Web site free. But that service can be accessed only with a personal computer.
Reed Hastings, chief executive of Netflix, said he hoped to strike other such deals and that Netflix would soon be viewed as a movie channel that might appear on myriad devices.
“We want to be integrated on every Internet-connected device, game system, high-definition DVD player and dedicated Internet set-top box,” he said. “Eventually, as TVs have wireless connectivity built into them, we’ll integrate right into the television.”
- The New York Times
I think this is such a great idea !!! We have a new LG HD T.V. in our bedroom. I wonder how long it will be before we can look for this? You know I'll have to have it.

New Year's Day
We spent last night at my sister's house ringing in the new year with dinner, a few rounds of Scene it, the new movie edition and a couple of drinks. It was a good time and we didn't get home until some where around 3:00 am.
I am glad we have no real plans for today because I am feeling pretty old and slow as a result. Our daughter (8) is already asking to be online to play Webkinz and my brother in law just called for my husband to log on to play some PS3. As for me, I see the couch, the blanket and a movie in my near future.
Then I am planning to toss a ham in the oven and whip up some cheesy potato's some time this afternoon. Who says I can't be domestic ?
