Les Miserables was soo good!  Hugh Jackman was truly amazing.  It took us a week to actually be able to see it - it's only playing in 2 theaters here in Dallas and any time we went the times were sold out.  That's a bit unusual these days.

Also saw Rust & Bones, Marion Cotillard was incredible, I never saw The Artist, but my parents actually preferred her performance in this than The Artist.  The story is amazing, the characters fascinating, but incredibly intense.  Some people had to leave to take a break, but definitely worth the watch if its your cup of tea:)

So I've been on a roll with movies   The next ones I want to see before I get movied out are Life of Pi and Silver Linings Playbook.  I hadn't realized how out of sinc I was with movies this year!    just no time to go.

I'll check out Premium Rush, love Joseph Gordon Levitt  

I saw Guilt Trip last night, it was actually really good.  I don't know why it didn't get good reviews, Barbara Streisand and Seth Rogen were the perfect team.  Totally relatable for people that have dysfunctional family relationships! But still realistic too.

I agree, some movies are necessary to see in 3D - like Avatar, and the 3D Titanic was actually amazing.  But not necessary for every movie.  Gives me a headache & puts me in a bad mood; same response I get playing video games therefore I can't play video games! 

Happy holidays everyone!

I like the idea behind it & the cast, but it looks a little too brazen for me!    I might catch it on dvd...

Mel - I really like 50/50 too - Seth Rogen really surprised me in that movie!

Thanks Mel...

Winter break is finally here.  I spent most of the day sleeping yesterday, end of semester fatigue.  But I did go  see 'The Hobbit' I enjoyed it but not as much as I did Lord of the Rings.  I was a little antsy and tired though, so if I get a chance to see it again I might just to see if being in a better mood will help. 

Elinor woke me up early today to go outside so I put on my Lord of the Rings movies, it's unbelievable how good those movies are.  I have a deep connection with them for some odd reason, they were the first films I really enjoyed so much (like the way my brothers talk about seeing Star Wars for the first time in theaters! ) that's kind of how LOTR was for me!

I did see the Man of Steel preview and I cried!  Can't wait!

Goood to hear Teejay!  Looking forward to seeing it!

lol - should have known better...well that doesn't suprise me considering the source I heard it from.  My siblings are known to exaggerate. he he.

Cappugirl - I was stupid to try to go to the mall saturday for an errand.  after not being able to find a parking lot for 30minutes & all valets full I turned around.  It was a mad house.  Definately staying away.  I decided to skip church and go while everyone was at church.  That's the bible belt for you! 

That's great Mel! My sister & brother in law got me the extended dvd set of LOTR in blu ray a few years ago for Christmas.  I'm excited about the Hobbit too, although I heard thousands of animals died while making the movie 

sciences & math always got to me Mel - A's in everything else accept those, even the 'cop out' classes were still hard for me in those areas.  I'm just a humanities girl

Deb - awesome about the car!  your weekend did sound busy, hope you catch up on rest.  We have 10 days until winter break, and I AM READY!!!

That's awesome! congratulations! 

Yes, I agree they do. Especially Monday.  Too bad I have no money!

Please think about us as we go back to work tomorrow.  It's been a great break.  I love my students to pieces but my work environment is not a healthy place to be.  Fretting about going back, but I know as soon as I see those kiddos things will be okay!

Just watched Anton Yelchin in Like Crazy - on demand through netflix.   REALLY great.  Highly recommend, will definitely put him on the map if he wasn't already    Especially Felicity Jones. AMAZING young actress.
