Human Centipede? Warning: this is disgusting.

I love watching all genres of movies. My boyfriend is constantly finding interesting obscure movies for us to watch. Yesterday, he texted me a link to The Human Centipede! I enjoy horror movies as much as the next guy but this is too much! How horrifying! hmmm, with a Trailer like this.. I will have to watch it.

Movie Review ~ Invictus

This weekend I went to see Invictus with Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman. Invictousis the Latin word for Unconquerable. This is the true story of Nelson Mandela and the South African rugby team. Going into this movie I wasn't sure what to expect. Leaving the only word I can use is 'inspirational'.

I had heard Nelson Mandela's name before but really didn't know his story or about the Apartheid in South African. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 year because he led a party against Apartheid. After his release he was elected as president of South Africa. Racial separation was a major issue in South Africa. Invictus is the story of how Mandela used the rugby to to unite the nation. Quite an amazing story. I was transfixed by Freeman's portrayal of Mandela and I'm amazed by the quiet wisdom of Mandela.

As soon as I got home. I downloaded Mandela's autobiography to my Kindle. I've started reading, Long Walk to Freedom and I'm already totally engrossed in it. If you get a chance, go see Invictus!

Where The Wild Things Are, Major Disappointment.

I'm lying here feeling kinda bummed. I saw Where the Wild Things Are today and it was horrible! (In my opinion) It was just sooo depressing and slow. I kept waiting to get that wonderful feeling I had as a child when I read the book, under the blankets with a flashlight. But.... no luck. I left the theater in a depressed funk! Max, the boy, was so sad and alone. There was no plot or character development. I felt no connection to any of the "Wild Things" and found them all really strange. Needless to say, I've been waiting months to see this movie but really wish I hadn't. I'd love to hear what others thought.

Now, I am covered up in my new pink (for breast cancer awareness) snuggie! =) My boyfriend surprised me with it this week. It's very cozy. After the movie we got home and watched VA Tech football. Tech lost, bummer. While I was watching the game, I signed up for Dream Dinners. I'm really looking forward to it. I've never tried it before. I'm hoping it will be a delicious and an easy way to have meals quickly. Then we played Beatles Rockband with my boyfriends daughter! Now that was fun. I sang most of the time because I am terrible at the guitar and the drums, lol. I really can't sing either but they are very sweet and cheer me on anyway.

All in all, It was a great Saturday. Tomorrow I need to finish up a custom hypnosis CD I've started working on. Then I have to do my next installment of p90x! Whew that is a heck of a workout. I've been doing it for about two weeks now and I am already much stronger.

Where the Wild Things Are

This book was my first favorite book. I remember, as a child, going to the library over and over again and sitting and reading it. I've always been drawn to stories with magical worlds. Narnia, Fantasia, the world in the movie Labyrinth, Hogwarts, even reading Flowers in The Attic was intriguing.

I realize I am a mature adult, lol, but I can't wait for this movie to come out!
Oct. 16th is the release date.
