SAGiles-writing about life!

Finally, I have made it to see a few movies.  I have not had the chance to see "Pirates of the Caribean--World's End"  as no one wants to go see it with me, so I will find a time this next week to go see it by myself.  Now, I have seeen "Mr. Brooks", "Fracture", and "The Waitress". 

I think I will begin with the chick flick--"The Waitress"  I went with two of my good friends--both teaching buddies--who still teach, so we really hit the movies in the summer.  We all enjoyed "The Waitress"--it does move a bit slow, and the plot--well if I were to just read the script, I don't think I would want to see it.  It is your basic simple love triangle movie, and the location -- Joe's Pie Diner--somewhere in the rural south.  Kerrie Russell's character envisions all types of pies with strange names to apply to various situations in the movie.   She has a somewhat of a scoundral of a husband, and Andy Griffith plays an adorable if not somewhat crusty character.  Women--go see it.  You will find it a nice way to spend an hour or so in the afternoon.

"Fracture"  oh this has Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling as the stars.  I like each very much and this movie is intriquing with a few well placed twists.  Of the three I saw this week--I liked this the best as did my husband and our friends who joined us also for Mr. Brooks.

Kevin Costner and Demi Moore--what were you thinking in making this movie?  "Mr. Brooks" is not for the faint of heart, and while I can watch bloody or gorrie movies, this just doesn't appeal to me.  What you see in the trailers is pretty much the movie--and I had no trouble predicting the outcome.  But you be the judge!

Now, "Ocean's 13" comes out next weekend, so I hope to make it to "Pirates" before the other movie hits the screens.  As I like the "Ocean's" movies as much as the "Pirates" 

There is another interesting woman's movie coming soon--I think in July--"Evening" with a cast of thousands--well anyway, Claire Dane, Meril Streep, Glenn Close, Francis McDormit, Emma Thompson, one of the Redgrave sisters, and more.  It really looks good, so my teacher friends and I will venture to that,  and I will review it for those who are interested.

I am sure there are movies I should see, but just don't know about, so let me know some of your summer favorites--and I am not into "Spider Man 3" or any of the animated movies.
