Mulholland drive me off a cliff

Movie Monday was a WASTE of time tonight. Steve and I watched Mulholland Drive. At the moment neither of us has a freakin clue what happened in the movie. I blame Steve for putting it in the Netflix que....although he was mislead by the Netflix summary.
Do.Not.Waste.Your.Time.

Movie Monday, 1954

Tonight we watched On the Waterfront. It was the 1954 Oscar-winner for Best Picture. Pretty good. Young Marlon Brando is cute and looks human.

Bond, James Bond

Tonight's rendition of Movie Monday was Quantum of Solace, the most recent James Bond flick.
I really liked it! But then again, I like just about anything Daniel Craig is in...sigh.

However, I did not like it more than I like Casino Royale.

My absolute favorite James Bond moment occurs in Casino Royale. During the card game scene, Bond is served a drink. He quickly realizes that the drink is poisoned and immediately jumps up, grabs a salt shaker and an empty glass and heads to the bathroom. After drinking a glass of salt water, puking his guts up, and hooking himself up to a defibrillator in his gagety car-which thankfully keeps him alive, he manages to clean himself up and return to the poker table.

As he sits down, he says, "Sorry guys, that last hand nearly killed me."

I love it! So great.

And, I was pretty badass at Nintendo 64's GoldenEye....007 and I go way back.

Movie Monday

Tonight the Taylors viewed Slumdog Millionaire. It was quite wonderful. I will walk around the rest of the week singing "Jai Ho" and dancing with a scarf.

And I made a delicious shrimp spaghetti thanks to Lauren's recipe and a handy little packet of creamy pesto sauce. Delicious!


AND I ran for 55 minutes tonight! A record!


Jai Ho - Slumdog Millionaire - Awesome video clips here

Movie Monday

Last week Steve and I attempted to watch The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly....it was terrible. After a draining hour and a half we ended up turning it off and watching an episode of Firefly this weird sci-fi western.

This week: Braveheart
It was my first time to see it....wow.


As a side note: Suzanne and I ran 4.2 miles in 41 minutes just prior to the viewing of the movie.

Movie Monday

This week Steve and I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
I liked it! Jack Nicholson has this wonderful crazy-beautiful thing going for him.

Rent it.
Netflix it.
You should see it.

And one more for the road

Every Monday Steve and I watch a movie.

We call this MOVIE MONDAY.
I LOVE movie Monday.

Thanks to Netflix we are broadening our feature film horizons. We sometimes go in themes such as Oscar-winners OR movies Erin should have seen by now. (I can go ahead and say that most movies fall under this category.)

Steve usually gets to pick the movie for two reasons:
#1-As previously stated, I have not seen many good movies.
#2-If by some small (very small, I assure you wink, wink) chance I fall asleep during the movie, Steve is still happy.

In the past few months/years, I guess--we began this way before getting married or even engaged--I snoozed through the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the Star Wars trilogy, I Heart Huckabees (yuck), Lost in Translation (good nap there), and so on and so on... I did actually stick with the LOTR and Star Wars until I watched every second of each movie (not necessarily in one sitting). I REALLY liked them!

Steve has a super-long list of movies that I will be attempting to watch.

This Monday we watched:
The Gnome Mobile

Erin's rating:
Eh, it was good. Apparently it's a kid-classic. How can I not like a classic?
