Ah....The Sadness

So mi madre got premier tickets to see Nights in Rodanthe Tuesday night. As everyone probably can tell from the trailer...this is supposed to be a pretty good chick flick, not unlike those of Kate and Leopold, or other Richard Gere flicks like Runaway Bride. This movie even has the 4th husband from Runaway Bride, Christopher Meloni. And of course...As soon as he shows up, I think to myself, what is it with Richard Gere always stealing his women? So...the begining of the movie starts out your every day chick flick...however, by the end of the movie...we were all more depressed then when we started. The movie itself had a pretty good message, however, it was too depressing to really sink in. Beware girls...if you're wanting a good chick flick that makes you all giddy inside, this is not that movie! I went online and read the review after I saw it...and they had the same things to say that I did...Depressing! Randy...be glad you didn't have to sit through that one with me! :)

Cats Everywhere

So this officially my first posting to the blog addiction. This week has been really busy and became even more so when I drug my husband to see the musical Cats. All growing up I had heard about how awesome this play was, and...being a pretty big Andrew Lloyd Weber fan...I didn't think twice about buying tickets. But what I was expecting was not what I got. I'm used to Weber's playing being pretty full of emotion, and pretty twisted with the love triangles (like you see in Phantom, and what you get in Les Miserables). However, Cat's is not like that at all. It's a simple play that in my opinion, was kind of boring until the end. I'm sure if I would've known the story line before going to see it would not have been a disappointment. But, expecting a very deep plot and then not getting one was kind of weird to say the least. I'm certainly glad that I got the opportunity to go and see it, and also happy that Randy didn't throw too much of a hissy fit...but it will not be a play that I rush back to see over and over again.
