Tuesday's movie:

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

Probably my least favorite Indiana Jones movie. It's not that it's not good or that I don't like it, just that out of the three, it's the one I would pick last. My family watched this one a lot growing up and all I remembered from it was the guy's melting face at the end of the movie. Kind of resembles the guys deteriorating/quickly aging face in the third one. My husband and I recently sat down and watched all 6 Star Wars movies and it's funny to see Harrison Ford so young. He's certainly still young looking in these movies and a lot of fun to watch.

Can you name the movie:
"Ah... well, you know, you go out there and you give a 110%, and you wanna play good, and, you know, you hope you play good... I think we played pretty good tonight!"

Yesterday's movie:

Stand By Me

Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, River Phoenix, Jerry O'Connell as kids. Do you really need another reason to watch this movie? My favorite part of this movie is when Gordie (Wheaton) is telling the story around the campfire about the fat kid and pie eating contest. Or maybe it's when they're all covered in leeches. Can't quite decide which is more disgusting. This is a genuine "brotherhood" movie.

Can you name the movie:
"You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together, I've got nothing better to do"

Friday's movie:

Sleepless in Seattle

Who doesn't love Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan together? I still think I could watch this movie again and again and again and not get tired of it. And little Jonah. What a doll. I tried to watch "An Affair to Remember" once and just couldn't get into it, probably because of this movie. I know Becky and Annie love it in this movie and quote it and I kept thinking of them every time one of the famous lines would come up.

Can you name the movie?
"If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy - Pez. Cherry flavored Pez. No question about it."

Yesterday's movie:

The Fugitive

Alicia, not too bad. Although Mike Meyers is the last person they'd cast in a movie like this. Nicole, I'm with you. I've never seen any of the originals either. When my family moved to Germany, we watched this movie again and again. After a decade+ hiatus of not watching it, my husband and I sat down to watch it and I was surprised how much of it I'd forgotten. That's so not like me. This will sound weird, but I remember having somewhat of a crush on Tommy Lee Jones in this movie. I look at him now in this movie and can't figure out why. My husband's movie quoting abilities have definitely improved since we met, and this is one that he quotes quite often. He'll branch out soon, I'm sure.

Can you name the movie:
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Forever!"
"What did you just hear me say?"
"Six girls in college, maybe seven."
"Seven.... EIGHT! Mary Kelly!"

Yesterday's movie:

Men in Black

Gotta be honest here: I own this movie but have never seen it. Sorry guys! I really don't have anything to post about it. Did anyone get this one? Any comments on this movie, for those of you that have seen it?

Can you name the movie:
"If they can dye the river green today, why can't they dye it blue the other 364 days of the year?

Yesterday's movie:

Mary Poppins

Julie Andrews is amazing. Between this movie and The Sound of Music, I think she should receive some sort of honorary good-will degree or something. She has done so much for kids and families, just through those 2 movies alone. And how many of you don't think of floating around with your umbrella every time there's a big wind coming around. Wouldn't that be a blast?

Can you name the movie:
"There's only one way off this planet, baby, and that's through me."

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Friday's movie:

Forrest Gump

So many lines from this movie, it was hard to choose one. Doesn't Tom Hanks look so young in this movie too? I knew a kid who dressed up as Forrest Gump (as he is dressed above) for Halloween one year. He had the suitcase and box of chocolates and everything. One of the more creative Halloween costumes I'd seen in awhile. This is one of those movies that I can't watch more than once every couple months, but I do enjoy it when I watch it.

Can you name the movie:
"Speaking of names, I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith."
"What's the name of his other leg?"

Friday, April 9, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Frequency

Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. Not a box office smash hit, but one of those "Could this really happen?" movies. A son is able to communicate with his dad 20 years in the past. Maybe 25 years. I don't remember the actual time frame. They talk to each other through a ham radio and it has something to do with a glitch in the weather or something. I first saw Jim Caviezel in "The Count of Monte Cristo" and have enjoyed him in other movies as well. I never saw him in "The Passion of the Christ" and I don't think I ever will. I just can't bring myself to watch that.

Can you name the movie:
"And cause I was a gazillionaire, and I liked doin it so much, I cut that grass for free."

Thursday, April 8, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Adventures in Babysitting

No one? I thought for sure someone would get this one. When I taught high school English, I used this clip from the movie to introduce the blues and poetry. My kids were singing "baby baby, baby sitting blues" for days. It was fun.

Can you name the movie:
"I want you to remember this word, okay? It's kind of like a code word: Yahoo. Can you remember that? "

Wednesday, April 7, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Remember the Titans

Denzel Washington is another one of my favorite actors that I always forget about. I've never seen a movie of his that I didn't like. I also like his philanthropic lifestyle. I was out visiting DC a couple years ago and I saw the actual high school that is portrayed in this movie. I love this movie and could watch it again and again. Ryan Gosling is such a weenie in this movie but really seems to have grown up in The Notebook, another favorite movie. The music, the feel-good warm fuzzies, the high school fun, and the fact this is a clean movie, nary a cuss word to be found. That's what I like.

Can you name the movie:
"Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues!"

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

The Little Mermaid

Whenever I hear the song "Part of Your World" I think of my mother-in-law. It's really the beginning of the song that reminds me of her because my mother-in-law is a collector of "stuff." Actually, she collects antiques, but the line, "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?" does make me think of her, in a loving sort of way, of course. Has anyone ever seen the stage performance of this? I've heard it's amazing. I had a roommate who thought of herself as Ariel because she had red hair, had an amazing voice and could swim. She was pretty much 3 for 3 in the Ariel contest. I almost cried the first time I saw this movie. It was the part where her dad grants her "legs" and she runs up to him and hugs him. I get goose-bumps right now just thinking about it. What a softy I am.

Can you name the movie:
"Hey now, all that rubbin' ain't gonna make them golden locks grow back no faster, now, you know that, right? "

Monday, April 5, 2010

Friday's movie:

Superman

I actually had to look up a quote for this movie. I'll admit it's not one that I know very well. On that note, I don't have a lot of commentary about it or Christopher Reeve. I knew a kid named Christopher Reeve. He looked nothing like Superman.

Can you name the movie?:
"What is it?"
"A banded, bulbous snarfblatt."

Friday, April 2, 2010


Yesterday's movie:
The Neverending Story

If you really know your films, you know that this movie is actually "Die unendlich Geschichte." That's right. It's a German movie! If you've ever watched the credits for this movie, it's one Dieter after another. Regardless, it's a classic. Atreyu! And Artex, the stupid horse who gets swallowed by the Swamps of Sadness. Good thing Bastian saves the day. My husband swears that the name he calls out at the end (the beckoning princess, "Bastian! Call my name!") is "Moonchild." Can anyone confirm that? There's an old guy that we went to church with whom we lovingly called The Rockbiter because there was quite a resemblance between him and the limestone muncher in this movie. What a weird and crazy movie.

Today's quote:
"Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe. "

Thursday, April 1, 2010

Tuesday's movie:

Dances With Wolves

Ok, so maybe Kevin Costner had 3 decent movies. I forgot about this one. Wasn't this movie forever long too? I was in middle school, living in Germany when this movie came out and I believe it came out on Halloween over there. It's been years since I've watched it. Come to think of it, I wonder if I ever have watched the *whole* movie in one sitting. One of my other favorite lines from this movie is, "Stands? Your name is Stands?"

Today's quote:
"The video arcade is down the street. Here we just sell small rectangular objects. They're called books."

Yesterday's movie

Say Anything

Ladies, ladies, ladies.... I'm surprised no one got this! Alicia, I thought for sure you'd be all over this one. No matter. John Cusack. I could just end this entry with those two words. He started his movie career decades ago and is still going strong. His co-star in this movie, Ione Skye? Whatever happened to her? I don't think I saw her in any other movie. Googling her produces only pictures of her from this movie. At least she can say she was in one of John Cusack's best movies. I love how John and his sister Joan almost always are in the same movie. I wonder if it's part of his/her contract agreement. I don't know that I'd be so willing to do that with one of my siblings. What if John Cusack and Ione Skye got together for a reunion movie? Is that something you'd go see?

Today's quote:
"I'll bet someone back East is going, 'Now, why don't he write?'"

Monday, March 29, 2010

Blogger seems to be having issues today. After 3 tries, I still can't post a picture. Regardless, Friday's movie was "The Wizard of Oz." Did you know that movie came out in 1939? I remember my dad telling me that when he watched that as a kid, the winged monkeys (why not monkies?) used to scare him and he'd hide behind the couch. Those are scary looking animals, but appropriate minions for The Wicked Witch of the West. And speaking of "Wicked".... have you had a chance to see that? If not, and you're even the slightest bit interested in "The Wizard of Oz," please go see it. It's amazing. There's a lot of urban legends in connection with "The Wizard of Oz" too, mostly having to do with the munchkins. One I've heard is that during a scene in the woods, you can see a munchkin hanging himself in the background. I've looked for it, and like with Wall-E and Toy Story, I can't see what people are talking about. Here's a question for you: If he doesn't have a brain, how come the Scarecrow outsmarts the apple trees and finds a solution to save the whole gang from the army of the Wicked Witch?

Today's quote:
"She's gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen."

Friday, March 26, 2010

Yesterday's movie:
Toy Story

I heard that in the scene where they're flying down the street behind the car, one can see Wall-E in the background. I never could see the little bug-eyed machine. Anyone else ever hear of that? Pixar movies are great. I went out with a guy once that worked for Pixar. That's probably the closest I'll ever get to being in the movies.

Today's quote:
"My! People come and go so quickly here!"

Thursday, March 25, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Field of Dreams

If you build it, he will come. In my opinion, Kevin Costner had only a couple good movies and this was the other one. Waterworld anyone?

Today's quote:
"Tuesday night's plastic corrosion awareness meeting, was I think, a big success."

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Little Monsters

Fred Savage! This was made in his prime. You know, "Princess Bride" "The Wonder Years." He's the kind of child actor that I wonder about. What's he up to these days? What's even cuter about this movie? Fred Savage stars in this movie with his little bro Ben, of "Boy Meets World" fame. This isn't the most reverent child/monster movie, downright grotesque in a couple places, but overall pretty innocent. And again, Fred Savage! He's so cute!

Today's quote:
"The only thing we had in common is that she was from Iowa, and I had once heard of Iowa."

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Grease

Grease is the word. The 25th anniversary of this movie came out on my 18th birthday and I got together with a big group of friends from school and we went to see this. We were first in line. While waiting in line there were hula hoop contests and other fun shenanigans. I don't remember seeing one guy waiting in that line either. To this day, whenever I hear the song "Greased Lightning" I see in my mind the theater full of women singing along and doing the hand movements and everything. My mom still doesn't like this movie. Some people you can never change.

Today's quote:
"Baseball cards? I LOVE baseball cards! -Got 'em, got 'em, need 'em got 'em, got 'em got 'em, need 'em, got 'em, need 'em, need 'em, got 'em, need 'em, need 'em got 'em, got 'em need 'em!"

Monday, March 22, 2010

Friday's movie:

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

One of our family favorites. I couldn't remember ever watching the entire movie growing up, so during a hot and pregnant summer last year, I finally sat down and watched it. There's not much else you can do with swollen ankles. It was funnier than I thought too. It's kind of a long movie so prepare. But with classics like Mickey Rooney, Ethel Merman (isn't that a male mermaid?) and Buddy Hackett, how can you go wrong?

Today's quote:
"What'd she just give him?"
"A lock of hair.... from her chest!"

Friday, March 19, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Up

My husband and I sat down to watch this movie one night and cried for the first 20 minutes. Totally not expecting that. Anyone else cry during this movie? I didn't think I would like this one because it wasn't a typical Pixar movie about kids or monsters or fish or cars. It was about a grumpy old man. Now, the cute little scout-ish friend in the movie (for whom yesterday's quote is attributed) was fun, but it was odd to have a full-length kid's movie have an old man for its main character. My husband thought maybe that's why the movie didn't have that much kid appeal. It wasn't about kids or kid-ish things. Definitely a winner though.

Today's quote:
"Mama, it's alright. Everything's gonna be alright. Your baby's coming to get ya. You just sit there. Sit there, relax, take it easy. I'm coming to get you Mama." (Hint: 1963)

Thursday, March 18, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Hope Floats

Love Sandra Bullock. Love Harry Connick, Jr. Wonder why yesterday's quote earned this award. I've always thought this was the cutest movie. I saw this with a dear friend of mine when it came out in theaters and still love to watch it, although I can't remember the last time I did. Sandra Bullock is such a versatile actress. Mr. Connick, Jr., he's stepping it up in movies it seems. Wasn't he in something fairly recently? I think he played a bad guy. He's definitely someone I would define as "hunky." What a weird word.

Today's quote:
"Kevin's a girl?"

Yesterday's movie:

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

The quote from yesterday is courtesy of Miss Veruca Salt's dad (anyone like the band named after everyone's favorite brat?), but who doesn't love a little Violet Beauregarde? Now if I had put "Violet, you're turning violet, Violet!" everyone would haven't gotten that quote. I had a roommate in college named Violet. She was nothing like our little blueberry above, but I'm sure she heard, and got tired of hearing, that line more than once. While I am a Johnny Depp fan, I did not care one iota for the remake of this classic (speaking of remakes of classics, have you seen this?). They only had one Oompa Loopma who was computer regenerated in order to give the appearance of a multitude of the little ones. The songs were also lacking. However, I heard the remake was more like what Roald Dahl wrote in his book. Haven't read that one yet. You?

Today's quote:
"Dancing's just a conversation between two people. Talk to me."

Yesterday's movie:
Shrek

Are they making a musical out of Shrek? I seem to remember hearing that somewhere. I didn't think I was going to like Shrek, or Shrek2 (haven't seen the 3rd yet), but I gotta admit that the humor is there. Adult humor, not that dirty adult humor, but humor that is definitely above the heads of the little tots, is clever and witty in this movie. Thank you Leilani for sharing another great line from this movie. =)

Today's quote:
"Snozzwangers. Vernicious knids. What kind of rubbish is that?"

Monday, March 15, 2010

Friday's movie:

You've Got Mail

For me, this movie was kind of an extension of "Sleepless in Seattle." I love seeing Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks together. He's usually not a romantic type actor, but he does well in this one. One thing I realized about him in this movie though is that he doesn't have good hands. They're a little pudgy and don't seem well manicured. For as much as he makes, I'm sure he could afford a little hand make-over. Hands are one of those "things" for me, otherwise I couldn't care less.

Today's quote:
"Wow, that was really scary and if you don't mind me saying, if that don't work, your breath will certainly get the job done, 'cause you definitely need some Tic Tacs or something 'cause your breath STINKS."

Friday, March 12, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Rocky IV

Ya know, I heard once that Sylvester Stallone is really quite short and that he got his start through the Rocky movies. He's done some other films, but I can't even think of any of them right now. He'll no doubt go down in history for the Rocky movies. Can you imagine him in a romantic comedy?

Today's quote:
"The Godfather is the I-ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question. What should I pack for my summer vacation? "Leave the gun, take the cannoli." What day of the week is it? "Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday." "

Thursday, March 11, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Big

Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors and I always seem to forget it. Whenever someone asks me who my favorite actor is, I never have an answer. And then when I watch a Tom Hanks movie, I'm reminded of how much I like him. There's probably one movie I've seen him in that I didn't like: The Man With One Red Shoe. He did a great job in the movie, but the movie itself was just too dumb.

Today's quote:
"I know sometimes I act stupid and I say stupid things, but you kept me around and other people would have said "drop that bum". You give me respect. You know it's kinda hard for me to say these kinda things, cuz it ain't my way, but if I could just unzip myself and step out and be someone else, I'd wanna be you."

Yesterday's movie:
Dirty Dancing

Well done ladies! I thought that might be a well known line. I'm thrilled I was able to find a picture of Baby carrying said watermelon. This movie is the classic bad-boy good-girl movie. Funny that they were all in their 20's-30's when they filmed this movie. Besides this movie and "Ghost" what other movies were big hits for Patrick Swayze?

Today's quote:
"She spent the last three months writing down her married name. "Mrs. Judy Hicks", "Mrs. Donald Hicks"; "Mrs. Judy Mitchellson Hicks", sometimes with a hyphen, sometimes without a hyphen. Sometimes, she spells the hyphen. "

Thursday's movie:

Mystery Men

I apologize for the lapse in movie quoting for Friday and yesterday. We were out of town and I didn't get a chance to hit up the blog. You understand. So Mystery Men is one of my all-time favorite movies. Again, this is one that, from my experience, not a lot of people know, and if they do, they think it's a dumb movie. All in the eye of the beholder, my friend. Come on, a Paul Reubens as a character named "The Spleen"? Just doesn't get any better than that. Ben Stiller is at his best in this one too.

Today's quote:
"I carried a watermelon?"

Yesterday's movie:

Jurassic Park

Nicole, you amaze me with your movie knowledge. Here's a blooper from JP that stayed in the movie: After a walk in the mud, the soles of Dr. Grant's shoes are squeaky clean as he climbs the electric fence. Go figure.

Today's quote:
"We've got a blind date with destiny, and it looks like she's ordered the lobster."

Wednesday, March 3, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Simon Birch

This movie was never really well known and I'm not surprised that no one could name it. A roommate in college introduced me to this movie and I love it. It's about the friendship of two young boys, one of whom, Simon, has physical difficulties. Such a cute movie and will certainly make you laugh and cry. Please watch it.

Today's quote:
"I am not a computer nerd. I prefer to be called a hacker."

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Steel Magnolias

This movie always makes me want to live in the South. I believe that this movie was also one of Julia Roberts' first movies. What a group of ladies to start out with: Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Shirley McClaine. Wow. And this was a stage show before it was a movie. One of my other favorite lines from this movie is "He's so confused, he don't know whether to wind his butt or scratch his watch."

Today's quote:
A: "Last year we were in the squirt league, and this year we're in the peewee"
B: "So?"

Monday, March 1, 2010

Friday's movie:

Hook

This movie reminds me of baby-sitting. I watched it sooooo many times while baby-sitting a little girl named Rachel. I guess that was some way of preparing me for my own kids. Is there any way I can train my kids to fall in love with my favorite movies so that they'll want to watch them over and over again? Or will they become my least favorite movies because they'll be watched over and over again?

Today's quote:

Excellent. This was the first movie I ever bought. I was in middle school, living in Germany and bought it at the PX. I still own it.... on VHS. Really at a loss as to what to say about this movie. Any other favorite quotes?

Today's quote:
"I'm not scared of sheets. Are you gross under there? Are you Night of the Living Dead under there? Like all bloody veins and pus? "

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

This is by far my favorite of the Indiana Jones movies. I think it's all the disgusting bug scenes and hearts being pulled out of chests that draws me in time after time. Or maybe it's the "snake surprise" that I just can't get enough of. Does anyone remember the Indiana Jones Atari game? I wonder if anyone still owns an Atari.

Today's quote:
"Am I supposed to be a man, am I supposed to say, 'It's OK, I don't mind'? Well, I mind! I mind big time! And you know what the worst part is? I NEVER LEARNED TO READ!!!"

Yesterday's movie:

17 Again

Like Alicia said in her comment, I too enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. I thought it was going to be just another "teens having sex" movie. So glad it wasn't. My husband and I were quite impressed with it and while this is the only movie I've ever seen Zac Efron in, I thoroughly enjoyed him as well.

Today's quote:

Yesterday's movie:

Ghostbusters

Classic 80's movie! Too many quotes to choose from. I mentioned Rick Moranis in a previous entry and here he is again in this movie playing dorky short dude. I know he can't help his height, or lack thereof. I watched Ghostbusters 2 not too long ago. It wasn't as bad as I remembered it being and there's some decent quotes in there too. Maybe we'll get there on here someday.

Today's quote:
"It's hot, brown, and there's plenty of it!"

Yesterday's movie:

Look Who's Talking

I've always liked this movie, but it was funnier to me watching it while pregnant. I don't think I've ever seen the sequel. Anyone seen that and can comment on it ? Didn't Roseann Barr do the voice for Mikey's sister?

Today's quote:

Yesterday's movie:

Encino Man

It's nice to see that Brendan Fraser and Sean Astin were able to continue making movies, Fraser taking bigger roles and Astin, well, not so big roles. What about Pauly Shore though? Another "actor" lost to the typecast pit. He's gotta be pushing 50 by now, eh? Good job Alicia getting this movie.

Today's quote:
"Help! Help! Somebody burp me before I blow up!"

Yesterday's movie:

Walt Disney's Robin Hood

They don't make them like this anymore, do they? I saw that there's another Robin Hood movie coming out, this time with Russell Crowe. We'll see how adept he is at wielding a bow and arrow. He's not my favorite person, but he's a good actor.

Today's quote:
"If you're edged 'cause I'm weazin all your grindage, just chill. 'Cause if I had the whole brady bunch thing happenin' at my pad, I'd go grind over there, so dont tax my gig so hard-core cruster."

Friday's movie:

The Christmas Story

.... and there's the image behind the quote. I don't think I could ever, EVER, get enough of this movie. "Fra-jeeeeee-lee. Hmm, must be Italian." "Sthuck.....sthuck....." And the all-time class, "You'll shoot your eye out!"

Today's quote:
"Out of my way, assassin!" (ok, I'll give you two for this movie)
"Poppycock! Female bandits."

Friday, February 12, 2010

Yesterday's movie

The Money Pit

One of my all-time favorite scenes from this movie is when he's filling the bathtub with hot water and it crashes through the floor. His laughing kills me. Another part is when he's stuck in the carpet in the hole in the floor and is making little paper airplanes out the money in his hands. Tom Hanks would have to be one of my favorite actors. He's so versatile. Has he ever played a bad guy though? If he has, I have yet to see him in that role.

Today's quote:
"He looks like a pink nightmare!"

Thursday, February 11, 2010

Yesterday's movie:

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids

While this movie in and of itself was good, albeit a little dorky, they really went overboard with sequels and continuations, e.g., "Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves", "Honey, I Blew Up The Kid." They should have left it alone. Does Rick Moranis ever NOT play a dorky guy? I admit, I've only seen him in this movie and in "Ghostbusters." Typecast. Poor guy.

Today's quote:
Person #1 "You're so much less attractive when I'm sober."

Yesterday's movie:

The Sound of Music

Who doesn't love this one? I lived in Germany for a few years when I was growing up and we had the opportunity to visit the real Von Trapp house in Austria. Huge! It's like a little college now. The back yard garden and lake was exactly like it was in the movie. I seem to remember hearing that they actually filmed it there. This is definitely a movie classic I'll be passing down to my kids.

Today's quote:
"It's very delicate, the lawn. You don't want to over-water, really."

Yesterday's movie

The Family Man

A cute holiday-ish movie. I like these kind of "how would my life have been different" movies. It's a sort of updated "It's A Wonderful Life," but from a different take. The kind of relationship that Jack and Kate have in this movie, after 13 years of marriage, is the kind I want to have after 30 years of marriage.

Friday's movie:

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

My husband and I were talking about this movie yesterday and how Keanu Reeves has gone on to seemingly bigger and better things while we couldn't even remember the name of "Bill." All my husband could describe him as was the one with the bogely eyes. San Dimas sure got put on the map because of this movie; that and Socrates Johnson.

"Because you thought I was *cocky*, I'm not on a permanent *acid* trip?!?"

Yesterday's movie:

Roxanne

Gotta love this one. Probably my favorite line from this movie is, "I thought you said, 'Earn more sessions by sleaving.'"

Yesterday's movie:

Mulan

After serving a mission for my church in Taiwan, I gained so much more cultural insight into this movie. The fact that she calls her dog "Little brother" was enough to make me laugh. I listen to the Disney station on Pandora radio a lot and they play a lot of songs from Mulan. There have been nights where, after having been woken up, I can't go back to sleep because the songs from this movie are playing through my head. Grrrr....
