Sexy movie review blog?

Ya know, I've been thinking maybe I should make this into a movie review blog. I don't seem to have much to say on here lately or anybody who wants to read it either.

I watched Slumdog Millionaire last night. It was good. But, not as excellent as everyone suggested that it would be however. It certainly wasn't the best movie I have ever seen as has been suggested by many people. It was very very sad. And I don't what the point to it was, was it to show us that true love will win out each and every time? Or instead that the human spirit is uncrushable no matter the cruelty that life may hand out to us? Was to help us, the viewer, appreciate that life is what we make of it and then even if you're born in a very poor country you make something of yourself if you so choose? I don't know. I think I am confused.

I also watched The Reader. Now THAT is a good movie that really makes you think. I didn't much enjoy all the sex scenes and thought they were unnecessary for the most part--but what a good story overall! I think the point to that movie was that shame and pride can literally ruin your life. Kate Winslet is an amazing actress, isn't she?

Lastly, a few weekends ago, I watched Doubt. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I love Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Strep (with those cheekbones) as any red blooded American does. I was confused by the end of that movie too. Did he do it? What did Meryl Strep have doubts about? Did anybody ask the boy what had or had not happened? See, lots of questions. And little answers. I don't like that much. I like clearly defined movies that steer me in the way I am supposed to feel. I am not good at all this figurative stuff. Ugh.

Chad and I actually got to go to the movies for real a month ago or so! It was very exciting. We seen Duplicity and The Knowing. If you don't see either of these movies in the theater you aren't missing much. They were both so-so. And I ate so much popcorn that I was nauseous for hours. Good times people, good times.

Other than watching Netflix movies and avoiding blogging we are same old same old. I have been fighting with the school over the atmosphere in Trent's 5th grade classroom, going to all kinds of meetings, finding a NEW school for the boys to attend next year, and working. That's about it. Our life is rather ho-hum and next very sexy at all. This is why I am contemplating the movie review blog! That's sexy, right?

Hey, if there is anyone out there, what is the sexiest thing you have done lately and/or what's the best movie you have seen recently?
