Saturday morning I woke up to find that Brent had just started watching Rocky. I'd never seen it before, so I watched it with him. The one thing I kept thing of was a promo that the AMC television channel runs that features a group at a retirement home reenacting Rocky as a play for the other retirement home residents. It was a good movie, but I was surprised it had won so many Academy Awards.
Yesterday Stacie and I saw The Wedding Date, starring Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney. I thought it was well cast but absolutely under developed. Things would happen out of the blue without any supporting back story. I would say that it's a renter, if you're at all interested in seeing it. And if nothing else, Dermot Mulroney was hot.
Today I watched one of my first films from Netflix, Mona Lisa Smile, which I really liked. It made me think about how life has changed so much since the 50s. A woman's role isn't what it used to be. (Thank God!) The cast was great and it was a definite girl-power movie.

Rocky for the retirement home. I'm thinking of that image of Rocky on the Philly library steps (?) played by a grandpa. Pretty cool.:)
ReplyDeleteYou've never seen Rocky before...
ReplyDeleteI stopped reading your post after that sentence out of pure shock.
