Alice and the Oscars

Thursday night I went and saw Alice and Wonderland at the midnight showing at the El Capitan in Hollywood. The experience was awesome and I loved the movie especially in 3D. We also enjoyed seeing the red carpet set up for the Oscars and were able to walk on the red carpet leading to the Kodak Theater (even though it was covered up we were still standing on it!) It was so cool!

I thought the Academy Awards were pretty good this year, Alec and Steve were hilarious as always, glad Sandra Bullock won, that was won of my favorite movies of the year. Very surprised The Hurt Locker won, it is now the lowest grossing film to ever win best picture only making 13 million dollars at the box office. I was glad to see Kathryn Bigelow become the first woman to win best director especially beating out her ex husband, just classic!

Reminiscing

Ashley and I have been talking a lot lately about going back to London, we can't believe we have now been home for 3 years and how much we miss it! I am so happy that we are already planning our trip back for the Olympics, a little over 2 years and counting!!!

Shutter Island

When I originally saw the preview for Shutter Island many many months ago I knew it was a movie I just had to see especially since it stars my favorite actor ever, Leo. I went and saw it today and boy was I blown away. I was expecting it to be really scary and that I was going to be covering my eyes the whole time, not so much, just really suspenseful. Leo was amazing of course and Martin Scorsese has himself another fantastic film. The best part of the movie had the be the ending, I will not spoiler it for anyone because it would ruin the movie. Let me just say the last time I saw a film with a twist like that was in The Sixth Sense, I just didn't see this one coming!

American Idol

I love American Idol and was very excited for this new season, but so far I am a bit disappointed. For the second season now my mom and I have made a list from the very first episode of the people we really like and all of them have made it to the top 24, no surprise though, they show us people we are supposed to like and they know will make it far. After Tuesday night I thought all the girls were terrible and not a single one stuck out in my mind as a good performance, I hoped the boys would be better, nope, the only person's performance I really liked was Casey James, but honestly the guy could sing the phone book and I would love him.

I hope next week proves to be better because if the contestants continue to perform the way they did this week we are in for one long crappy season!

Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday Melissa, love you and so excited for this weekend!
