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!"

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.

Person #2 "Thank goodness it's not that often."

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.

Today's quote:

"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.'"

Today's quote:

"Dust....... wind....... dude."

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....

Today's quote:

"Aromatic: it must be wonderful to wake up and smell the coffee..... in Brazil."
