Shane and I have seen 3 movies lately, all of which were so good! We 1st saw National Treasure 2 and loved it. We loved the 1st one and I think this one is even better. I love the history you learn from this movie. I also loved that there is no bad language, no scenes where you say "I loved the movie only if it didn't have this....". None of that. All around a great movie!
2nd we saw Juno. We didn't know anything about this movie except my friend Lisa said she and Aaron loved it. I trust her opinion on movies so we went and loved it! Such a great message about adoption in that movie although I do have to say the "adoptive father" was a real loser. He just couldn't seem to want to grow up and take on new responsibility. We both loved the music from that movie-hello I-tunes!
3rd we saw August Rush. I have been wanting to see that since it came out in November, but haven't gotten around to it. Can I just say this may be my new favorite movie???? LOVED IT! I am a big Keri Russell fan anyway (loved Felicity) but she was so great! The kid that plays her son did amazing and has the cutest dimples ever. Jonathan Rhys Meyers was awesome, and not a bad looking either. I have one of his songs from the movie on my playlist and I am finding myself listening to it over and over again. He has a great voice to boot! We went to this movie with our friends Jacy/Curtis, and Susan/Sean. I think everyone loved it but Curtis and Jacy were both teary at the end-so cute! It is definitely a movie I want to buy.
Last but not least I saw PS I love you with Kim, Sandee, Kara, and Rachel on a last minute late night show while Kim was here from Iowa for her grandpa's funeral. This movie was good, but I have a love/hate relationship with it. It was a good show, but the subject matter was so hard to take. (hello-it's about her husband that dies-who wants to even think about going through that). I was seriously crying throughout the show. I turned to everyone I was with and said "this is worse than The Notebook". I seriously couldn't keep from crying. Now-just so you don't think it's sad all the way through there are some really funny parts and in the end you go away feeling good. More than anything this movie made me appreciate my husband more and want to cherish our time together. I have an awesome husband. I am blessed.

Ro, I'm just jealous that you've seen so many movies. I'd be happy to see just one. Thanks for the review!
I loved all those movies too. Juno soundtrack rocks - I need to go get it. And we all know I like P.S. I love you.

Hey Ro- thanks for the tip on the awesome new song. I love coming across great new music. I can't wait to see Juno and August Rush, everyone's been talking up a storm about Juno lately.
Bunco's tomorrow.. WAHOO!
I think January is movie month...espcially in Iowa....I saw P.S. I Love You AGAIN when I got home with some girlfriends and saw Juno last night. I loved it and want to download the music...so good. I thought of you during that movie, but it was b4 you met the weird adoptive husband...I want to see August Rush...I know it is about music...could I take Christian to it?
Well, we all know that I loved 'August Rush', now I really want to see these other movies you're talking about! We need to follow your example and get out more!
Okay, I just listened to the Ben Folds song on your playlist... LOVE IT!!! LOVE IT!!!
We totally have the same taste in movies! How are you? Fun to find your blog and see your cute family.
