Movies & Movies

Ever since Laura and I got Netflix, we have watched at least 3 movies each weekend. Here are some of the movies that I have really enjoyed. Some of them I was really surprised that I enjoyed them.

Hotel Rwanda--this was just an amazing movie. I had wanted to see it since it was in the theatre, but was told by Laura that it was a "social worker" movie. We watched it and it was wonderful. It's amazing what one person can do for the world. I don't know if I could ever has as much courage as they did.

The Hurricane--This movie was put out in 1999 and it stars Denzel Washington. One of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. He is a boxer in the 60's that is falsely inprisoned for a triple murder. A high school student works at proving his innoence. Based on a true story. Long (2 1/2 hours), but well worth it.

Love Actually--A Hugh Grant movie. Another long movie (2+ hours), but very good. There were some parts that I laughed so hard I almost peed. Not good for small children due to some very detailed sexual scenes. It would be a good movie to watch around Christmas time since the story line is based around the month before Christmas.

Cinderella Man--Saw this in the theatre and it was awesome. Another one of those real feel good movies

Notting Hill--Probably one of my all time favorite movies. Stars Hugh Grand and Julia Roberts. My favorite line from that movie is, "I'm just a girl wanting to be loved." Very good romantic movie.

The Notebook--Read the book and saw the movie. Both were excellent, but as always the book was better then the movie.

Just a few of my favorites. We have 3 movies to watch this weekend...Undertow, Lackawanna Blues and Crash. I'll let you know how they are on Monday.
