What's Next?


Last week someone suggested I see August Rush, so that's what I did last night. The person who thought I'd like it was spot on. It was sappy and unrealistic but involved music and passion and although I would have preferred more Julliard stuff, it was a perfect movie to watch late on a Sunday night.

I will say however, it would have been nice if the director had done a better job of aging the main characters. Perhaps some Felicity hair for the pre-baby scenes to make the distinction that a decade had gone by, maybe?

My method with Netflix is to never check what's next in the queue. That way it will always be a fun surprise when the movie comes in the mail. Sounds lame, but it totally works.

I havn't seen it yet but I think I will check it out.
The synopsis reads like it was run through babelfish. lol.
If you are really bored, run something written in english through babelfish into some obscure language, then translate it back to english and see what you get. http://babelfish.yahoo.com/
Obviously I'm easily entertained, lol.

I'm glad you liked it. It is contrived, but it seems to know that and not make apologies for it.

You should watch the movie "Once". Also musically excellent and a good story line. I loved it. Especially if you like the band, The Frames.
