the first day

seriously....

what happened with Grey' Anatomy last night at the Emmy's.  oh well, still my fav show and can't wait for the new season to start in a few weeks.

i sat down to watch last night all ready to see my fav stars from that show make their way up and down from the stage all night.

but...what "swept" the Emmy's last night?

The Girl in the Cafe'!!!

not quite a year ago one of my friends, who has all the fancy cable channels, such as HBO, mentioned this movie to me.  so, every time i went to the video store i would look for it...with no luck.  then i kinda forgot about it.

this morning in the pouring and i mean pouring rain, i thought it was a great day to head to the video store on my way home from other errands.  took me stops at 2 different shops but i found it and just now finished watching.

you should head out and get it tonight. go ahead, right now.  same writer as Love Actually and Four Weddings and a Funeral.

really leaves you with something to think about and you'll be glad you spent the time!

saw Davinci Code last night, opening night.  the energy in the theater was high....

my favorite aunt is Aunt Audrey.  she's smart, stylish, fun, gentle but strong.  i was a flower girl in her wedding when i was 2 years old.  one of my earliest memories that i can trace back involves her... i'm 4 years old and being cared for by her while my mom is in the hospital  giving birth to my baby brother. Aunt Audrey is a retired nurse now and the widow of a farmer.  she was a nurse when nurse's wore real Nurse Hats.  i've always loved that! you know those starched, white hats.  she used to let me try it on.  she was one of the first "career women" i ever knew.

Audrey Hepburn is a classic. if i was a little girl, i would want to be her when i grew up.  love the movies, the accent, the clothes, love those black cigarette pants and flats, the little bangs, the sunglasses, even the earplugs she wore in Breakfast in Tiffany's were so stylish.  beautiful how she aged gracefully and amazing the work she did for UNICEF.

Audrey Tautou is cute as a bug!!! if you haven't seen Amelie you must head to the video store right now to rent it. infact just buy a copy at Target or Best Buy because on rainy days you will watch it over and over again.  she's been in more movies than people realize....she was amazing in Davinci Code.  and we finally get to hear her speak English.

BTW: i read the book (Davinci Code) when it first came out. i've been waiting for this movie. thought it was great!  i don't usually listen to or agree with the critics.

okay............loved charlie and the chocolate factory!!!!!!!!!!!!!

loved johnny depp more than i did before.......i think this might be his best movie yet.  loved all the other actors.........loved those grandparents and aunts crocheting in the bed......loved the set.......loved the story........

just can't say enough, good things about this movie.....

a must see on the big screen, (i think i may see it one more time) and a classic that i will probably add to my DVD collection. (and i think i only own about 8) so that's saying a lot!

great, better than expected........don't you love it when that happens!!!
