Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

As I sit here and re-watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I can hardly contain my excitement knowing that 12 hours from now I will be parked in a squeaky movie theatre seat taking in part one of the last HP film with my whole family!

Fist Pumps and The GODFATHER

I like to think of myself as a productive person, but after this weekend I don't know if I can say that. Sure we all have lazy weekends. I realize this but I really don't know if I've ever experienced one to this extent.

I spent the weekend holed up inside doing nothing...except clouding my mind with junk TV and The Godfather. When I say junk TV I'm not referring to your normal reality television show..I'm talking about cat fights, hair poofs and fist pumps..JERSEY SHORE...

If you haven't seen this show you are probably better off...I have never seen such tacky classless people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx3ePHmmV6Y&feature=related

As repulsed as I was, I could not turn this show off..maybe it was my amazement at how someone could act like that or maybe it was because there was nothing else on, I don't know.. I do know that I am slightly more ignorant for wasting my brain cells on this ridiculous TV show....I hate to admit it, but when season two comes on you might catch me watching again-(that can be our little secret)

I made this weekend all about the ITALIANS..after dumbing myself up I wasted hours watching something considerably better...THE GODFATHER...(one and half of two) I am still working on the other half of two and three.

These movies are long (and great for a lazy weekend) I am excited that I have finally taken the time to cross these classics off of my "Movies to See," list. I am completely taken with Marlon Brando and Al Pacino in these

movies.

I have to admit, I have always had a thing about "The Mafia." Maybe it was my introduction to them at an early age when I lived in Italy or maybe it is the fact that these good lookin' men in suits are eye candy..I don't know..I do know that I LOVE these movies....and who DOESN'T love Marlon Brando??

Fun GODFATHER FACT: Al Pacino

is a member of the Corleone family in The Godfather. Al Pacino's grandparents are from Corleone, Sicily.

So maybe my weekend was lazy and boring..and this BLOG post probably is too..but if you're looking for a good movie weekend

(and you will need a weekend) maybe this will make you lean toward a set of movies EVERY ONE should see...and if not you can always cloud your brain with some shore action....

Until next time...FIST PUMPS

Awestruck by Avatar

That's right...You read the post title correctly..I went and saw AVATAR. I have to admit, I was a little leary of all the hype surrounding this film, but after sitting in the theater for three hours with goofy glasses on I am convinced that this is one of the most brilliant films I have seen in ages.

I'm not really a science fiction movie girl (if that is what you would consider Avatar) but the scenery in this movie left my jaw dropped for a good 3/4 of the time.

I have to give credit to James Cameron for his creativity in writing this story. Not only did he create the world of Pandora, but he successfully created another life form that reiterated the importance of appreciating the world you've been given. I can't tell you if Mr. Cameron intentionally made the viewer consider the way we treat our world, but I know that he made me think about the deeper meaning of the film and how it relates to the world we live in. I am

astounded that someone could create such a complex world. AMAZING

I've never been to the Imax, but I can tell you that I couldn't imagine seeing this movie any other way. If you haven't seen the film, you HAVE to see it while it is still playing. If you are near an Imax pay the extra money..it will be well worth it.

Even if you don't think this movie is something you're into..I assure you that you will at least enjoy the visuals. If this movie doesn't clean the stage during award season, I have will lose faith in modern cinema professionals. This movie has been out for three weeks and has earned over a BILLION dollars...that has to mean something....GO SEE IT!!!!

This picture does not do the film justice...but it does show you some of the beauty you will see....
