Alternative title: Movie Time, There May Be Some Spoilers Here.
This weekend was very nice. I just hung out by myself not doing much at all. I went scrub pants shopping, which was not successful at the store but very much on line. I painted my toenails, did a ton of laundry, did house work without a time schedule and watched four movies. I did watch one with E this evening, but I think it still counts.
Here's what I watched (in order of least liked):
Rambo: Yes, ladies, I watched a Rambo movie (with E of course!). The story was decent but the blood and gore is not my thing. Especially when it involves killing children and raping women. I'd give the gore a 25 out of 10 it was so bad. So I give it an 'eh'. It was a short one, only an hour and 20 minutes so it was over quickly. E laughed at me at one point and exclaimed "I can't believe you're watching a Rambo movie!" Me either, Honey, me either.
Twilight: Even though I read the book and make it a habit of NOT watching the movie of a book I really liked, I watched it because I'm going to go see the other movie with the girls at work. This movie is supposed to be a very serious movie, all brooding and full of love but it had me rolling!! OMG, the acting was horrific and the kid who plays Edward is totally NOT HOT!! He reminds me of a young Dolph Lundgren, remember him from Rocky 4 fame? Yeah, no. But by the end of the movie I was glad I watched it because it distracted me while I was folding laundry. That's always a good thing. (I could go on and on of why I didn't like this movie, but that would be just plain mean and childish!)
Obsessed: Oh, silly Beyonce, acting's for actresses! You kookie gal! This movie had potential. The blond from Hero's was pretty good, a convincing crazy lady. The black guy from The Office (NOT Stanley, the new office manager) was pretty cute to look at but kind of a puss. But Miss Thing Beyonce was just...UG. To me she was too diva; sashaying her booty, wagging her finger and giving her man a what for much too often. Please girl, tune it down a notch. What I did like was the (spoiler) kick ass fighting scene between the two women. Yeah, bitch, you lay a pinkie on my baby and I WILL go Rambo on your narrow ass!! No hair pulling and clothes ripping here! Just some good old fashioned punches in the face.
He's Just Not That Into You: Surprisingly I really liked this movie! It had a great cast of characters that intertwine without knowing it. It was funny, interesting and easy to watch. I really don't like Jen Aniston in any way but I really, really love Sc@rlette Joh@nssen (what a doll!) so they counter balanced each other nicely. All the guys were cuties and I even shed tear at one of the end scenes. If I had watched it earlier in my time off I might have even watched it again. I had my doubts and got it on a whim but I'm glad I did.
In staying home by myself I realize I'm a big scaredy cat. I'm scared of burglars, spiders, loud noises yet no noises at all, even my own shadow. But I tried not to let those things bother me and I really enjoyed the time to myself. To do what I wanted to do, to lay around yet clean my house in a leisurely manner, watch what I wanted was a real treat. I do feel really relaxed.
Off to another week ahead. I hope this one is less stressful and I hope everyone has a great one!

I totally agree about Twilight - HORRIBLE! Honestly, it seemed to me like it was a movie without a budget... bad, bad acting, the white makeup was horrible, and that book is just way too long to be made into a 90 minute movie. There is just absolutely nothing redeeming about the movie, especially because I agree with you, the main vampire guy is just not my idea of good looking.
I am glad you had a distraction from your laundry-- I think the next twilight move will be better. They will have an actual budget for this one-- hopefully it will lend itself to make-up. I had a fun time laughing thru the movie. :o)
