Movie Weekend
I had a movie marathon this weekend. On Friday night I watched Bridget Jones’ Diary and “O”. I loved Bridget. it was such a great movie. I found myself digging into my memory to see if I remembered what would happen next (I read the book, when it was first published.) Renee was great…so cute and how can you not like a movie starring Hugh Grant? “O” is a modern-day interpretation of Shakespeare’s Othello. Major players are Martin Sheen, Julia Stiles and Josh Hartnett. It wasn’t fabulous but it followed the main concept of the play. There was just something missing…maybe the shakespearean aura.
Sunday we watched Slingblade and Joy Ride. Slingblade stars Billy Bob Thornton and Dwight Yokam. If you didn’t know they were in the movie, you would never recognize them. They looked nothing like we are used to. Joy Ride was good. Definitely a thrill ride and will make you think twice about how you use a CB radio. I thought it was cool that the DVD had 4 alternate endings you could watch. And Paul Walker looked awesome!
Of the 4, my favorites were Joy Ride and Bridget.
I adored BJD as well… I became an instant Renee fan in the process as well!
