A sickly movie review

It's time for a movie review--a sickly movie review! It's been ages since I've watched this much TV and 3 movies in a day. Granted I'm sick, but still I've been meaning to catch up on my flicks.

Movie #1: Friends With Benefits. I liked the movie, but I felt like I was watching No Strings Attached except for this one took place in New York. Mila Kunis is more snarky and scrapy than Natalie Portman, but I still can't get past Justin Timberlake and his N'SYNC days. Maybe throw Ryan Gosling or some British actor and it could be better than No Strings. But like I said, I am a horrible movie critic as it's hard for me to not like a movie.

Movie #2: Straw Dogs. This movie came out the night before our wedding, and while I tried to talk Donny into seeing this on opening night, drinking wine at our rehearsal dinner is what went down. Anyways, so a couple months passed and we started to watch Seasons 1, 2, and 3 of True Blood, and then I realized that Eric Northman Alexander Skarsgard was in this flick (Alexander's character on True Blood is Eric Northman if you didn't catch that), and ohhh myyyy. Do I have to explain the "ohhh myyyy"? Granted he IS the bad guy in this movie, and I could argue that he is only partially bad guy on True Blood, but I still liked this movie--I'd watch it again, but I'm still wondering if anything happens to Jeremy and what's the outcome after the coach's daughter was accidentally killed. Anyone know the answer to that? Donny doesn't understand my random urges to watch scary movies.

Move #3: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. OMG! Can I just state that Harry Potter movies (except for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince...we can forgive you for that one) are better than (dare I say it?) Twilight?! Ok I just stated it. Now, I already saw this when it was in theaters. Are you kidding? I couldn't wait for DVD. I love how everything ties together, all the effects and revenge scenes. I mean good lord. SO GOOD! I am hoping that this is a Christmas gift or I am buying it on the 26th. I also just saw the 4th installment of the Twilight films and wasn't impressed. I think their best movie has been Twilight, and all the others are just "ehh". This movie (and Deathly Hallows Part 1) is exactly why Harry Potter is better than Twilight...and these guys can at least act--did I go there too? I did :)

Santa came early!

Soooo the photo above explains it all. Santa came early and he brought me pink eye. When I say "Santa" I mean my best friend Kristin came over on Friday night after she had pink eye earlier in the week and left her germ germs somewhere. Best friends share everything. We just love each other so much! Ha!

I woke up early this morning and realized that my eye was swollen shut and I immediately started to stress about getting to the eye doctor. I even woke up Donny--as IF he could do something at 4am! At some point I got to my physician's office, which was pointless since I was there for 5 minutes for him to just shine a microscopic light into my eye, tell me I've got a "good case of conjunctivitis" (In my head I'm saying "I know...I told you this on the phone, but you are old and cute so whatever"), write me a prescription for eye drops, and had me on my way seemed a bit much for a $30 co-pay. Maybe he should take my height and weight too next time. But, if I had gone in 2 hours later I could of told him about the sore throat, congestion, achy bones, and slight fever. It's quite the combo. BAH HUMBUG!

Even though I'm home sick I'm still determined to catch up and work on any sessions that we need to finish. I'm not sure why I think I'm Wonder Woman..Why is that, Laura? Why? WHY?! I should just take it easy--but I'm as slow as molasses and on top of it I can't sleep. I really love watching old and new episodes of The Big Bang Theory, Parenthood, and Sex and the City. Speaking of SATC, each time I watch I swear I see an episode I've never seen. I really should just get the DVDs already..Hint hint Don Bon Jovi ;) Oohh another good movie is I Am Number Four. But really, it doesn't take much for me to like a movie. I would be a horrible movie reviewer. All movies are great..Is my medicine talking now?

I do have a great cuddle buddy, and my husband (who I earlier referred to as "Don Bon Jovi"..that happened) brought home matzo ball soup from Jerry's Deli. BAH HUMBUG just took a turn for the NOM :)

 I just love his wrinkly face when he sleeps...and he just loves when we wake him up to take photos of him. HE. LOVES. IT!
