You know how I usually recommend movies TO SEE? Well today I am going to recommend 2 movies TO NOT SEE.
I finally watched my Netflix this weekend and what a bummer! First of all, I had Iron Man up at the top of my queue and it was in stock but I hadn't changed my billing address to match my mailing address so I by the time I had that figured out it must have no longer been available. Instead I received Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and The Feast of Love.
I wasn't expecting Walk Hard to be anything spectacular but I figured I'd get a chuckle out of it. Jenna Fischer is one of the stars and I like her a lot, plus there were a TON of cameos. This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen! I have a rule to not turn movies off but boy this was pushing it. I guess you could say I kind of broke that rule when I started doing other things (some of them in the other room) while the movie was still playing. Honestly, do not waste your time with this- not that any of you were going to, but still.
The Feast of Love also tempted me with a great cast- Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear.... a cute Brittany spaniel. But this was a major letdown as well! I couldn't hear or understand anything the actors were saying and somebody really needed to turn on a light! I think one of the themes of the movie was to have most of it take place in poorly-lit spaces. It must have been a metaphor or something.
Sometimes I get into these film ruts where I watch a bunch of bad movies in a row. So can someone please recommend a decent movie to me?!? I'm so out of the loop without my Entertainment Weekly! I can't wait until I start getting that in the mail again!
Luckily I'm reading that good book. I was reading it while I had my snow tires put on today and hoping no one would look over my shoulder and think I was a creep with a book about a murderer who preys on young Italian couples having sex in parked cars!

Bummer...Ashley and I were just discussing that we don't watch enough movies for two people who love movies, so I have no recommendations. Can you believe we haven't gone out to the movies since we moved here!?! I think we will this weekend.
I'd like to recommend We Are Marshall. I saw it in the theatres this one time with this really awesome person and it was totally the greatest movie I've ever seen.
That, or Flipper.
Go see Vicky Christina Barcelona! It's my favorite movie of the moment. I think it's still in theaters.. sooooo goooood.
Oh and I'm reading a really good book you'd like about a boy and his dog. It's called "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski. I'm only 50 pages in, but so far it's great!
Sorry, Heather, but I have no movie recommendations for you. I've been watching TV series on DVD (Rescue Me and Weeds)and no movies for a while. And since we get new cable channels, I'm obsessed with the Dog Whisperer.
