i'm ready for my close up

so i had every intention of seeing a billion movies while in omaha to save 2 bucks a ticket. however mother nature did not like my plan. while i have driven in the snow lots i don't like to do it in my moms car that doesn't have 4-wheel drive. also, my asthma was so horrible most nights i just wanted to go home and in jest enough liquid albuterol saline to be able to breathe. so i guess i will have to suck it up and pay 10 bucks a ticket. man i wish there was a dollar theatre here. (ps the dollar theatre isn't even a dollar anymore. we took the kids to the fantastic mr fox and it was $2 per ticket. still a considerable savings though.)

so here is my list of movies i am still wanting to see.
1. nine- love the musical, i've heard it's very different from the original. they cut like 7 songs and added songs and made characters more prominent. but i'm hoping daniel day lewis will not disappoint

2. the young victoria- there's a lot of oscar buzz for emily blunt with this movie. you may remember her from the devil wears prada, sunshine cleaning, and dan in real life

3. it's complicated

4. alvin and the chipmunks the squeakquel- i was supposed to see this with the munchkins but family drama prevented me from going. the kids and i were disappointed with me missing it. (i'll netflix it)

5. up in the air- even though i hate george clooney, our family friend is supposed to be in it. i'll go to see if her scene got cut or not.

6. leap year- i love amy adams

7. the lovely bones- it looks a bit trippy, my mom loved the book. i couldn't read it at the time because in the book the girl is a freshman in college and thats when i tred so it creeped me out. in the movie i think she's 14. go figure hollywood changed the plot.

movies i'm not sure about, but might see because of the golden globes ( some will have to be netflixed)

invictus- it doesn't look good from the previews, and dumb title

inglorius bastards- i hate quentin tarentino

a single man- although julianne moore has wretched taste in scripts

crazy heart

brothers

precious- i was anti seeing this in the theatre simply because i thought all the hype was just from the names. plus i was sick of seeing crap about it on oprah

a serious man

the messenger

wow i better get on it! the golden globes are swiftly approaching. plus i like to have seen at least half of the movies nominated because i like to know if the person really deserved it. ( well at least in my opinion) also, if i get a jump on seeing the golden globes nominees thats less i'll have to see when it's oscar time. plus the oscars are now doing 10 nominees. hello! they're haven't been 10 movies worth being nominated for best picture. most years they're are hardly 5. thanks for making the oscars a joke hollywood foreign press.

song lyrics of the day:
With your hand on my shoulders,
a meaningless movement
a moviescript ending,
