I just got home from watching an advanced screening of the movie Twilight and I can’t talk to my daughters about it. I’ve been sworn to Twilight talk silence. You see, they haven’t seen the movie yet and I have! I know, I’m such a bad mom.

The thing is, I won two VIP passes. I have threee daughters and one husband whose birthday is the night of the screening. Who do you think won out?  You got it. My husband and I haven’t been to the movies just the two of us since forever! We had to hurry back so we were only gone three and a half hours, but we had a great time. We had great seats reserved even though the theater was full. That was nice to be able to just walk in and claim our seats.

Read my thoughts about the movie. I don’t think I let any spoilers out, just my thoughts. If you’ve read the book, I didn’t say anything you didn’t already know. So go on and read my review of Twilight.

Stranger Than Fiction is a movie starring Will Ferrell (Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Emma Thompson) about a man “Harold Crick.” Harold is an IRS agent, with a boring, and routine life. A woman (Kay Eiffel) is writing a novel (defined as an extended fictional work in prose; usually in the form of a story) thought to be any other fictional work of hers, when Harold Crick, the main character, that she plans to kill (in the story) finds she is narrarating his life in accurate detail(Harold is the only one able to hear her). This confusing, but lovely story leads Harold to become scared and confused, but opens his eyes to a world he has been ignoring, and to the life he has not been living. It’s a beautiful story and a touching film, you HAVE to see it! I went with 5 of my friends, and mom and sisters it was really good too. Just a short and confusing synopsis, please excuse me because I am half asleep already. ;C

Here’s something shared by Toni, some Funny stuff!!! Can you think of other things that only happen in the movies?

1. It is always possible to find a parking spot directly outside or
opposite the building you are visiting.

2. When paying for a taxi, don’t look at your wallet as you take out a
note. Just grab one out at random and hand it over. It will always be
the exact fare.

3. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you
personally at the precise moment it’s aired.

4. Creepy music (or satanic chanting) coming from a graveyard should
always be closely investigated.

5. Any lock can be picked with a credit card or paperclip in seconds.
UNLESS it’s the door to a burning building with a child inside.

6. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into
will know all the steps.

7. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red
digital displays so you know exactly when they are going to explode.

8. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will
not be necessary to learn to speak German. Simply speaking English with
a German accent will do. Similarly, when they are alone, all German
soldiers prefer to speak English to each other.

9. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off. Even while scuba diving.

10. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in
Paris.

11. Any police officer about to retire from the force will more often
than not die on their last day (especially if their family have planned
a party). (Caveat: Detectives can only solve a case after they have
been suspended from duty).

12. Getaway cars never start first go. But all cop cars do. (They will
also slide to a dramatic stop in the midst of a crime scene).

13. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange
noises wearing their most revealing underwear.

14. On a police stake-out, the action will only ever take place when
food is being consumed and scalding hot coffees are perched
precariously on the dashboard…

15. All grocery shopping involves the purchase of French loaves which
will be placed in open brown paper bags (Caveat: when said bags break,
only fruit will spill out).

16. Cars never need fuel (unless they’re involved in a pursuit).

17. If you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts,
your opponents will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing
around you in a threatening manner until you have defeated their
predecessor.

18. If a microphone is turned on it will immediately feedback.

19. Guns are like disposable razors. If you run out of bullets, just
throw the gun away. you will always find another one.

20. All single women have a cat.

21. Cars will explode instantly when struck by a single bullet.

22. No matter how savagely a spaceship is attacked, its internal
gravity system is never damaged.

23. If being chased through a city you can usually take cover in a
passing St Patrick’s Day parade – at any time of the year.

24. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place.
Nobody will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel
to any other part of the building undetected.

25. You will survive any battle in any war UNLESS you show someone a
picture of your sweetheart back home.

26. Prostitutes always look like Julia Roberts or Jamie Lee Curtis.
They have expensive clothes and nice apartments but no pimps. They are
friendly with the shopkeepers in their neighbourhood who don’t mind at
all what the girl does for a living.

27. A single match is usually sufficient to light up a room the size of
a football stadium.

28. It is not necessary to say “Hello” or “Goodbye” when
beginning a telephone conversation. A disconnected call can always be
restored by frantically beating the cradle and saying “Hello?
Hello?” repeatedly.

29. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all
than 20 men firing at once (this is known as Stallone’s Law).

30. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in you room
will still be visible, just slightly bluish.

31. Plain or even ugly girls can become movie star pretty simply by
removing their glasses and rearranging their hair.

32. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their
enemies with complicated devices incorporating fuses, pulleys, deadly
gases, lasers and man-eating sharks.

33. All beds have special L-shaped sheets that reach to armpit level on
a woman but only up to the waist of the man lying beside her.

34. Anyone can land a 747 as long as there is someone in the control
tower to talk you down.

35. During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a
strip club at least once.

36. You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.

37. Most musical instruments (especially wind instruments and
accordions) can be played without moving your fingers.

38. In Middle America, all gas station attendants have red
handkerchiefs hanging out of their back pockets.

39. All teen house parties have one of every stereotypical subculture
present (even people who aren’t liked and would never get invited to
parties).

40. Trucks use their horns at random (no hang on, that happens in real
life too!).

Today’s Monday Meme is a bit late as I was swamped at work today, but here it is. This time I was tagged by Rose.

You’ll see that my life has been filled with no more than rated PG movies for the last ten years or so. Gee, I wonder why?

1. The last movie you saw in a theatre – Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest
2. The last movie you rented/purchased for home viewing. – Monster House
3. A movie that made you laugh out loud – Finding Nemo
4. A movie that made you cry – Ever After - it makes me cry everytime I watch it
5. A movie that was a darling of the critics, but you didn’t think lived up to the hype. – this one is hard as I hardly ever pay attention to the critics
6. A movie that you thought was better than the critics. – same with this one as my movie making selection is ruled more by what I can go see with the girls than what is popular.
7. Favorite animated movie. – haha! ALL of them
8. Favorite Disney Villain. – Cinderella’s wicked step sisters
9. Favorite movie musical – Wizard of Oz
10. Favorite movies of all-time. – There are way too many to even remember, but a few that come to mind: Goodwill Hunting, Forest Gump, Ever After, Star Wars (series, sequels, and prequels), Lord of the Ring, Matrix, Steel Magnolias.

Well, you all know how I like doing these memes; but I won’t tag anyone specific so I don’t obligate you all. Instead, I tag you whoever wants to do this meme too.

Sorry for the lame answers. Can you tell today was a really tough day at the office? At least the rest of the week is looking easy after tomorrow. All my big bosses are going away for a conference which was also the reason I was so busy today.

And right now I am really sleepy but wanted to update my blog first before I went to bed. Why you say? Why NaBloPoMo of course! Remember I’m still aiming to post on this blog everyday for this whole month of November.
