Movie Review:

The Proposal

1. It has beautiful scenery and reminds me of Men in Trees.

(I miss that show)

2. The house set in Sitka, Alaska is amazing. I can't find pictures of the outside - You will know exactly what I am talking about as soon as you see the movie.

It is my dream house.

3. Ryan Reynolds - super cute

4. Sandra Bullock's ponytail is adorable. And I can finally wear all of my hair in a high ponytail!!

5. Ryan Reynolds - I now have a small crush on him, after my husband and David Letterman.

Grey Gardens

is on my netflix queue.

The Holiday

One of my favorite holiday movies was on TBS last night. I immediately put on my workout clothes and ran across the street to the gym. I watched the last 45 minutes on the elliptical machine. During the commercials, I daydreamed about having a little cottage in the English countryside.

Movies I want to see:

Rachel Getting Married

Bride Wars

He's Just Not That Into You

Confessions of a Shopaholic

(I have read all of the books in the series)

Slumdog Millionaire

(I saw an advertisement in Italy for this movie and apparently the Italian language does not have a word for "Slumdog" because the movie was just called "Millionaire"

Bride Wars

I have not seen the movie yet, but the top of Anne Hathaway's Vera Wang wedding dress reminds me a little of my dress.

Sottero & Midgley ASM 3040

custom Vera Wang based on her 2005 fall collection

and is very similar to this dress by Vera Wang

Movie Review: Four Christmases

I went and saw this movie on Thanksgiving night (a family tradition) and was most surprised at how short it was. (run time of 1 hour 22 minutes) I was excited to see the movie because of the previews and cast. (Reese Witherspoon, Vince Vaughn, Sissy Spacek, John Voight, Tim McGraw, and Robert Duvall) Overall, the movie had a cute story and was funny... but I guess I was expecting more. I recommend seeing/renting/buying Love Actually, The Holiday, and The Family Stone or the book version of Skipping Christmas. Maybe Four Christmases will be $2.00 next year on black Friday?

Batman versus Mamma Mia

Even though I love the musical Mamma Mia, I am more excited to see the new Batman movie. (we have tickets for Friday night) Why? because I can sing every line of Mamma Mia and I know I will eventually see it.

Movie Review:

I just got around to seeing the movie Lars and the Real Girl a few weeks ago and I have been telling everyone to see it. I loved it!! This movie was on my mind as I was organizing all of my DVDs today because it presents mental illness very differently from other movies. (let's just say it is not like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) Another great movie on my mind: Waitress with Keri Russell.

My favorite looks from Sex and the City: the movie

black and white
floral and pattern dresses
a large clutch (and small gloves)
gladiator heels
the dress that started it all...

Other favorite looks include:
a vintage black and gold studded belt (I can't find a picture)
a long strand of pearls

I saw the movie on Saturday and it was fabulous (and I only cried a few times)! I was surprised that most of the women at the movie were dresses up!?!? (dresses and heels) Most looked ridiculous (like forever 21 threw up on them) and a few even looked liked hookers. While I love the fashion from the movie, I truly believe that most of the outfits are not reasonable or affordable for everyday wearing. (Only Carrie Bradshaw can pull off some of these looks) My advise is to take some of the ideas that you like and incorporate them into your wardrobe. (like wearing a long pearl necklace with a basic black dress or pairing gladiator heels) What are your feelings on dressing up for the movie? (I felt like I couldn't even wear my Gucci belt bag because I would look stupid!)

Spotted....in the movie "Iron Man"

I spotted my Eames lounge chair in Tony Stark's (the main character) house in the movie Iron Man. (which is a very good movie!)
