Movies, Mints, and Pugs

Hello everyone. Well since it was Oscar night tonight I thought it would be appropriate to start off by talking about movies. Holly and I have watched quite a few recently so I thought I would share some of them with you and some general thoughts on each one. Below I've listed each movie with some general comments. I would say generally they are all good so I certainly would recommend them. Okay here goes...

Gone Baby Gone - really good movie with good actors and how can you go wrong with Morgan Freeman. It's one of those you watch until the end and it was really good. The story has a lot of twists and turns and is really well acted.

Michael Clayton - Stars George Clooney and some other good actors. Well acted and good story and another one you need to watch until the end.

Atonement - Good story, nice cinematography but total chick flick!!

We Own the Night - total guys movie and really entertaining, worth checking out. Pretty good story too, was set in the late 80s and has some really good actors.

For the Bible Tells Me So (Documentary) - this was a really moving and emotional documentary that basically talks about homosexuality and the Bible and includes interviews of several families affected by it. It had some really interesting information that I was not aware of such as the definition of abomination during that time in that culture (for example, eating rabbit meat was seen as an abomination). The stories were really touching and I guarantee you will get emotional watching them.


On to the second topic, Pugs. Last weekend we went to a Pug meet up. We recently joined the club so they have these events usually every other weekend. The great thing is the place is really close and it's a lot of fun. I should also mention that our boy decided it would be a good idea to pee on a girl that was on the ground, way to go Coop!!

Lastly, I wanted to show a picture of a can of mints that my Mamma-in-Law gave me (Thanks Barb!) that I thought were fantastic. I think if anything the cover definitely shows what Bush was all about: What he SAID he cared about (religion) and what he REALLY cared about (money). I just thought it was really funny and thought I'd share it and I'm so glad that in the next several months he'll be back on the ranch where he belongs.
