Loved the Hurt Locker. I didn’t know who Jeremy Renner was so I looked him up. Through a link of a link I eventually landed at Youtube. There is a video of Jeremy on Jimmy Fallon where he sings “New York State of Mind”. Melts a girls heart I tell you.

I also found it refreshing that Hurt Locker didn’t bash our military. It showed a real side of what our soldiers go through – physically and mentally. If you can handle it, there is a documentary called Brothers At War. It was excellent. There were some inappropriate scenes (the filmmaker peeing in a bottle but you don’t see anything) and lots of cussing but boy, it was excellent to see real soldiers and their thinking about what they do for America. My husband served in the Navy, his father is a lifer from the Navy, his grandfather, uncle and our nephew all served as well. I’m obviously a supporter of our military!

ALL those movies and reading, too? AND time for laundry and cooking? AND working 40 hours per week (as if laundry and cooking, etc. is not work…..)

What do you DO when you have a free moment? Take time to breathe even?

I am amazed. But appreciative that you keep up with all that is going on. I enjoy these movies through your eyes. Saves me the movie money, but I have the popcorn.

I love watching DVD’s at home in my own chair…. Or better yet, in bed snuggled up next to my sweetie! I’m sure I would feel like you if the kids were around disrupting it.

Keep up the good reviews!

Ah yes. By the time both kids are in bed, it’s nearly 9 pm and too late to start-and finish-a movie. Plus, the 9-year-old likes to get up and down and ask questions, tell us the TV is too loud, she needs some water….one day, maybe, we will get to start and finish a movie in the same evening. I wonder when.

I always enjoy your movie reviews. The Hurt Locker sounds like something my husband and I would both like. And I love memoirs and biographies — so, yes, I can hardly wait!
