TOWANDA!

My good friend Julianne and I were talking about this movie early this week... I just had to watch it again. I also started watching the movie with the director's commentary. Quite interesting...

If you've never seen Fried Green Tomatoes you're missing out.... "Evelyn Couch is having trouble in her marriage, and no one seems to take her seriously. While in a nursing home visiting relatives, she meets Ninny Threadgoode, an outgoing old woman, who tells her the story of Idgie Threadgoode, a young woman in 1920's Alabama. Through Idgie's inspiring life, Evelyn learns to be more assertive and builds a lasting friendship of her own with Ninny."

The secret's in the sauce!

Pretty cute movie...



I think this is coming next... never heard of until I saw the trailer on a movie I had rented...

couple coming to terms with living in a new culture discover their troubles are compounded by their son in this drama from filmmaker Mira Nair. Ashoke (Irfan Khan) and Ashima (Tabu) are a young couple who are brought together in an arranged marriage and soon leave Calcutta to seek their fortune in America. As the couple becomes accustomed to one another, they learn to deal with the coolness and superficiality of life in New York, even as they revel in the opportunities the city offers them. Before long, Ashima gives birth to a baby boy, and pressed to choose a name, they dub the infant Nikhil, though he soon picks up the nickname Gogol, after Ashoke's favorite author. By the time the child is old enough to attend school, he insists upon being called Gogol at all times, and he displays little interest in his Indian heritage. Several years on, Gogol has decided he wants to be called Nick (and is now played by Kal Penn) and has become a thoroughly Americanized teenager, openly rebelling against his parents, smoking marijuana in his room, and dating Maxine (Jacinda Barrett), a preppy blonde from a wealthy family. Ashoke and Ashima are uncertain about how to deal with their son's attempts to cut himself off from their culture, but Nick begins expressing some uncertainty himself when he meets Moushumi (Zuleikha Robinson), a beautiful girl who also comes from a family of Indian expatriates. The Namesake was adapted from the bestselling novel by Jhumpa Lahiri. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

After the rain...

In Home Theaters Near You

I recently watched Enchanted. I thought it was a cute movie. I like fairy tales. There's a scene in Central Park with dancing and singing... two of the old men were also in West Side Story but even better is one old man was in Mary Poppins as a chimney sweep. :) I watched the extras.

I'm waiting on Fool's Gold in the mail... not sure what to expect...

Current River

Don't know who this is BUT this is what I'll be doing on Friday (supposing the rain holds out). Anna, Daniel and I will be hooking our tubes together... I want to try to get a waterproof camera to take with us!

Happy 4th

It is the 4th of July. A day off to celebrate our independence. Fireworks. Grilled foods such as brats or hot dogs if you enjoy that kind of thing). In Jeff they have a big celebration downtown with venders and such... Every year we make sure to go downtown to at least enjoy the homemade root beer. If you save your bottle from year to year... you can get refills for cheaper.

Leave comment about what you like to do on the 4th...
