Lately it’s been raining so hard that a new swimming pool has developed in our backyard. Unfortunately it isn’t deep enough to actually swim in (or should I say fortunately?). Since it’s been pouring down DH and I decided to have a movie day. A day where we cuddle up on the couch and watch one movie after another.
The first movie was Reign over me. When we were about half way through the movie I heard a knock on the door. It’s so freaking typical that everytime I try to watch a movie that someone shows up. It’s as if we have a big neon light flashing above our house that says “Hassle us now”. Turned out that it was Jason, my know-it-all, know-it-better, brother in-law. It didn’t take long before he annoyed the crap out of me, he spoiled the whole freaking movie by telling us how it would end. We got so pissed off that we didn’t watch the end of it. Needless to say that I was so happy when Jason finally left.
The next movie was 300. At first I didn’t want to watch the movie because from the previews I had gotten the idea that it would be full of gory fight scenes, but after seeing Human Weapon on TV where they talked about what fighting style they used in the real historic event I wanted to see it. I thought the movie was very theatrical and the deformed and weird creatures in the movie didn’t make it believable. But… I must say that I really enjoyed looking at all those eight-packs of the Spartans. Yes, you read it right - those guys didn’t have six-packs, but eight-packs! Yummy!!!
The last movie was Edward Scissor Hands. I know this movie is old and I have seen it many times before, but I still like watching it. Any Tim Burton movie with Johnny Depp in it is worth watching over and over again.

DH and I were talking about movies the other day when we started talking about the latest Rocky movie. When I told him that I had only seen Rocky IV he was shocked. He thought that the Rocky movies should be watched by everyone. To prove his point he decided that I should be properly ‘educated’ and made me watch all six Rocky movies on Sunday.
I have to say that I think that the Rocky movies are timeless. It’s not just about boxing, but mainly about love, about how to deal with obstacles, being a stronger person, etc. What I have learned most from the Rocky movies is that Rocky Balboa was a lousy boxer. I mean really… I don’t think I have seen him once keep his hands up to defend himself. He was like an easy punch bag. In real life he would have been knocked out ten times during a fight. But it isn’t real life - it’s a movie! I guess it’s the story behind the fights is what counts; never give up and as long as you fight with your heart you’ll be victorious in the end.
Even though the movies were very predictable I have truly enjoyed watching the Rocky Sixpack. Have you seen the Rocky movies and what did you think of them?
I have confession to make… I have a little crush on Jason Castro. Jason Castro is the dude with beautiful dreadlocks that has made it to the top 4 of American Idol. I always pride myself in not watching crap TV programs, but let’s be honest - whenever there is yummy eye candy on TV my principles fly out of the window with tremendous speed. The crush is silly and very immature, but I don’t care. If I was ten years younger I’d be stalking the dude. He is totally the kind of guy I would be going for.
Anyway, week after week he managed to turn stupid and boring songs into songs that are actually pleasant to listen to. Seriously American Idol, what were you thinking to let the contestants sing Dolly Parton and Andrew Loyd Webber songs? We live in 2008 you know!!! You should know what kind of people are watching your stupid show. Yesterday Jason Castro finally had the chance to sing some songs he liked himself; Bob Marley and Bob Dylan.
But guess what happened? While I really enjoyed his performance of “I shot the sherrif” the judges were ripping it apart. Calling it a karaoke performance and saying he should not have touched the song, because Bob Marley is…. well Bob Marley. I was screaming at the TV “You suck Randy!!” and “You suck even more Simon!!” Paula tried to sound positive but it was obvious she didn’t like it either.
After being burned and ripped apart for his first performance he came back on stage with a Bob Dylan song and the pore dude forget some lines. What do you expect after such sucky comments from the judges? Simon told Jason Castro to start packing his bags, because he was going home. All I can say is: “SIMON YOU SUCK!!!” I heart Jason Castro and if he brings out an album I certainly would buy it, because I love his voice and style of singing.
One of the worst television shows ever has returned to Australian TV. Big Brother must be the biggest waste of air time in the history of television. I have to admit that I have watched the show out of curiosity… once! Please somebody tell me what is exciting about a bunch of people locked up in one house and sitting around doing nothing all day? And worst of all is that all these people have an ego as big as the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
If you enjoy looking at a bunch of people sitting around, gossiping about each other you seriously need to get a life. Am I going to watch Big Brother this year? I don’t think so!
