Happy 25th, Heather!
Today is January 13 and Heather is 25! Much love to you, sis! I wish I could party with you. Wow! 25, dude, I'm starting to feel old and stuff. =)
Well, this weekend I saw "Catch me if you Can". It was ok. I mean, I think I made a mistake by seeing it after "Chicago." It just didn't entertain me as much. ("Let me entertain you, let me make you smile")
Anyway, suffice it to say that I enjoyed the movie and Leo was good. Tom Hanks grated on my nerves with that accent, though. Where was he supposed to be from??? I really do think I would have liked it better had I saw it before. I just wasn't engrossed in it. In fact, I was ready for it to be over -- it seemed to drag a bit at the end to me. I was thinking, hurry the freak up and catch him! That's another thing, why show us at the beginning how it ends up?? I couldn't see any purpose it served other than to let Hanks' character ask him numerous times how he passed the bar exam.
Movie question for those of you out there with a keen eye --- why do I keep seeing trailers with deleted scenes?? this is driving me nuts!! For example, the trailer for "Two Weeks Notice" (great one, by the way) has a scene with Sandra Bullock and Heather Burns (the one with the very recognizable voice). They are jogging in a park and she says to Sandra, "You love him" and Sandra replies, "I love him?" they banter back and forth in this manner and it ends with Sandra saying, "come on, give me another." This scene was totally not in the movie! so why would you spend millions on advertising dollars showing something that is not in the movie?? this is just a dumb business practice! Anyway, I had just seen that trailer before I went to see the movie, so I know I'm right. Also, in "Catch me if you can" there is a scene with Leo and either Jennifer Garner or the braces girl jumping up and down on the bed and throwing money around. This scene, I imagine was supposed to remind us that he really was just a kid. Was it in the movie?? NO! People in Hollywood, get a clue! If we see it in the trailer, we expect to see it at the theater. Enough of showing us what "bonus footage" we'll get in the DVD!
Now, that's that. You know now my new pet peeve! Have a great day today, it is Bubbles' b'day, after all!
