Movie reviews

Weight down, but not to the LOW low it was a few days ago.  Lame.  Maybe it was just a mirage. 

Last night I was feeling stressed out and REALLY wanted to eat my last bit of Easter candy.  But I made a firm commitment to myself some time ago not to eat when I'm upset.  Anesthetizing myself with food has never been good for me (duh).  I don't want to get on that path again.  So, I did what I've been doing lately: watching movies and having tea!

What's weird is, I'm not much of a movie person, as far as renting and watching.  I love going (thanks, spine, for making that more or less prohibitive), but I tend to get antsy, unless I split them in two.  So anyway, in order to try and combat the stress of this time of year (recital season!), I've been allowing myself more downtime at the end of the day.  It's been a mixed bag.

I've been grabbing movies off the shelf at the Bookmobile.  Here's what I've seen lately:

Remember Me: Fair.  It was interesting and it did give me something to think about.
Black Swan: HATED it. Can't unsee it.  I found it a horribly disturbing, sick, convoluted mess of a movie.
Gladiator: Good!  Very good!  I can't believe we never saw it.  Watched it with my Italian husband.
The Ghost Writer: Pretty darn good.  Exciting!  Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan; what's not to like there?  Recommend.
