Redbox Movies of December

So, in the midst of my Christmas "Break" I had the opportunity to watch a couple chick flicks with my momma (finally!) Anyway, I will give you a short run-down, even though I'm pretty sure most people on the planet are ahead of me on these:)

The Proposal- cute... a classic chick flick, with some good humor... I actually could've really liked this without the partial nudity scene (yikes!) Anyway, if you have some way to keep that out, it's a classic, feel good, the world's o.k. sorta movie:)

Julie and Julia- I thought I was gonna love this and Ben would hate it... Turns out I fell asleep on 3 separate  occasions trying to get through this one! I liked the story line, but it was a littly e dry and I realized I just can't handle Meryl Streep's vocal impression of Julia Child. It did make me hungry though:)

Four Christmases- another cute, classic chick flick comedy. The comedy was good, so Ben liked it too! Very lighthearted... the kind that you are almost embarrassed you rented, but then you throw all caution to the wind and think, "Whatever Walmart Redbox Renters, I don't care what you think of me, I'm renting it before you get your greedy paws on it!" Then you turn around and realize it's someone in your ward that you're gonna see tomorrow and decide to use the Redbox at Circle K next time you rent something you don't want everyone to know about:) True Story!

Angels and Demons- ok, this is my kind of action flick. Yeah, transformers blah blah blah. I can stomach that, but I really like believable story lines about things I care about. Like religion. Ok, so it's a stretch, but I can buy into the idea for a couple of hours. I think I should've probably watched it twice, if it wouldn't have been 1 am by the time we finished... Anyway, good flick. I recommend it to any of my non-catholic, or rebel catholic friends. You know who you are:)

I guess I should also mention New Moon, though it wasn't at redbox. If you haven't seen it. You should. Shame on your Robert Pattinson hating heart! It was good. I thought the storyline stuck well with the book and actually liked watching this movie more than reading book 2. It flowed well and didn't dwell too much on the ensuing depression. Let me say this. I'm still not a Jacob fan and I thought that Edward could've had a better bod too, but I'm not really in to that part anyway. If you get caught up in the physicality, then it is what it is. I, on the other hand, like the storyline. And in this case, it was worth it. Granted, I went to the matinee on Thanksgiving morning and only paid $5. Hey, we're in school, give my desperate self a break!
That's it for December... I guess it's been a long fall without movies! If you have any suggestions for my soon to be lonely, single parent self (ok, not literally, but widowed by dental school for sure!) Let me know. I'm open to suggestion.
