Watch your "Blind side"

Everyone who is goo goo ga ga about "New Moon" needs to get over it and spend their next $8 to see "The Blind Side". I'm sure you've seen the previews but if you haven't, in nut shell the movie is a true story about a wealthy family taking in a homeless boy, Michael Oher, and the story of him becoming a great lineman, getting a scholarship to play football at 'ole miss, then being drafted by the Ravens. Sandra Bullock's character Leigh Ann is the backbone of the story and I sat there thinking, "Oh my God! That is my mom with a southern accent!"...if you have had the pleasure of meeting my mom you would see it too.

For example- Leigh Ann is looking for Michael after he ran away and she goes to the projects where he used to live and all the guys were cat calling her and threatening Michael...

"You threaten my son you threaten me."...

"I'm in a Bible study with the DA, I'm in the NRA, and I'm always packing"


Though my mom doesn't "pack" if we lived in the South she might... hehehe. When we got out of the theater, almost on cue, she turns and says, "I want to go pick up a sweet, homeless black boy and adopt him." (Luckily we were able to restrain her from driving down to Imperial Ave. in search of that person). If you are tired of pasty vampires with dirty hair, and want to see a true, funny and heart warming movie I strongly suggest The Blind Side

Such a period piece sap

So I'm watching Robin Hood Prince of Thieves for the 1 1/2 times today.  I watched like half of it on HBO and now I'm watching it on DVD b/c it's been so long and I couldn't remember the first part.  Anyway, I'm such a sap... I love the romantic parts of period pieces.  I love robin and marry in this movie b/c shes so sassy and independent and robin's the long lost boy from her past that she falls for.  If I every made a period piece the female character would be sassy and independent too.  Even though the sheriff is evil I still think he's hilarious. "keep the stitches smaaaaallll!".  But really the high point is towards the end right as the sheriff is trying to marry marry and she sees robin and screams "ROBIN!".  it's so intense and romantic.  but instead of medieval 12th century and have the movie set in the 18th or 19th century.  During the enlightenment period.  I've written a movie in my mind in that setting for soooo long.  I know what the storyline would be and how many characters would be in it.  I even have names for the main actors in mind.  I'm such a dork. ooooooow flaming arrows flying through the air right now.  that's high tech.  anyway, back to the movie...so amazing, and then I listen to the Bryan Adams song "I do it for you"... you know you love it!
