Continuing with the movie weekend

A-ha! I have returned but once, not twice, but three times to posting in only two days. Thrilling, isn't it? Well at least to me it is. Continuing with my movie viewing from my recordings this weekend, here are two more movies:

• The Extra Man: This movie is a bit strange and sad. It stars Paul Dano, Kevin Kline, John C. Reilly (great in Wreck-It Ralph), and a few others. Paul Dano gets caught at his job trying on a student's bra and is suggested that he move on to another job. So he heads over to New York where he rents a room from Kevin  (I thought he was hilarious in this role), who is a gigolo (but don't tell him that) to older woman he can cares less about. He teaches Paul how to sneak into a broadway show and how to pee outside in public by being discreet. Kevin  also has these pet peeves about stuff, like no fornicating in the apartment, and how one should not do so unless married, which Paul  questions him on, but is quick to ignore the question. Katie Holmes plays his crush, but she finds him to be a bit odd. Oh, then there is John C. Reilly's character who looks like a caveman and has a very horrible (dare I say it?) girl's voice who is going through puberty and an old lady at the same time. Moving on, Paul  has had dreams in which he dresses like a transvestite and finds someone who can give him a make-over. Only then does he realize that he doesn't like the way he looks like a girl and decides that he is better off being man. By then Kevin  walks in through the door and disapproves of what he sees telling Paul he needs to move out ASAP. Somehow, they reconcile and Paul brings Kevin baubles (which he likes) and Paul doesn't have to move out. If you want to have a couple of chuckles, I recommend this movie 2 Daisy-girls.
• Prosecuting Casey Anthony: This movie made me upset, as I'm sure it did many other people all over again about this case. Besides knowing the obvious ending, I felt that it focused too much on Rob Lowe's attorney character. By the way, can that man ever look bad?!? He is some hot stuff. Anyway, sorry for the distraction, but as I was saying, there wasn't much focus on Casey Anthony or Caylee. I felt that it made me question this whole case all over again and got nowhere. I thought they were going to show them questioning her and catching her in her lies before she was arrested. I wasn't really much into this case as the nation or my best friend was at the time it was happening, but I went to Crime Library and read about it. That girl is such a liar and everything else that goes with it. If you want unsatisfactory results and too much focus on the everyone else besides the person who this movie is named after, go see it. I give it 1 Daisy-girl.

Tracking my watched movies the Daisy-Girl way

     You're probably thinking WTF?!?!?!? Two posts back-to-back?!?!? Hells ya my friend (I'm going to say friend because I really feel there is probably only one person who actually looks at this blog and that's not counting me. Seeing as I would probably not be my own friend if there were two of me). But anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyssssss...
     Besides keeping a track of this blog, I sure need to keep track of the movies that I watch. Often times after watching a movie, I obsess a bit about it and try to find as much information on it online. Such as a back story, how it came to be, movie information, or actor information. Most of these films are ones that I have recorded from cable. SOOOOoooo, yesterday I decided to sit my ass down and get to watching some of the 15 or so movies I have on the DVR (gotta love free preview weekends!!!) Sucks, because a few times, I had movies recorded and our DVR box had to be replaced cause it decided to not be our friend anymore and we had to replace it, meaning that all our recordings were either erased from AT&T's end since they "shock" the system from their end, or from simply getting a new one. As soon as we connect it back and it's ready to go, I search through the menu to see if they are showing a movie that I had recorded but had not seen. But to my luck, it was either only one showing or no more free weekend preview. I lost a  lot of my movies from my list when the box went haywire of Thanksgiving 4-day preview weekend. What a fucken bummer! The following are movies rated by my Daisy-girl scale of 1 Daisy-girl to 5 Daisy-girls. If you're wondering WTF is Daisy, she is my doggy. If you want to know what she looks like, there is a tiny picture of her right next to the address bar on top.

• My Week With Marilyn: It was pretty interesting. I had read about this movie before it came out in the theater. How it can be based on a book that's based on a guy who hung out with Marilyn Monroe for one week. Well guess what, it happened and it was done. Michelle Williams is cute in general. I don't know much about Marilyn Monroe, but I felt that Michelle Williams played the role pretty damn good. I'm quite sure she had gotten nominated and won a few awards. Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh, and so on were good. I pointed out to the hubby, "look that one guy from Les Miserables (Eddie Redmayne) is in it and his hair is actually combed. It doesn't look as if a cow licked his head."  Anyway, I would recommend this movie. I give it 4 Daisy-girls.
• The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1: Okay, first of all I'm not into this whole Twilight thing. I could care less. You won't find me at the theater waiting in long lines for hours to get into this shit-craze thing that is finally over. But seeing as I have seen the other movies in this saga (Hey...free movie weekends REMEMBER?!?!), I figured I might as well see this one. As I had explained to the hubby," I want to see the big hoopla about Kristen Stewart getting pregnant and suffering, plus I want to see  when Robert WhatsHisName chews on the umbilical cord   or whatever it is. I set myself up. I had my standards up WAY TOO HIGH. I was disappointed immediately. She looked anorexic except for the 'special effects" tummy she had going on, which was all fucken bruised up. Ya, I quoted "special effects", because based on the information on IMDB ( I swear by that site, it's a movie Bible to me), "There are over 1400 special effects shots in the film. Most of which were used on Kristen Stewart to achieve Bella's pregnancy appearance." Really, they couldn't have used a fake tummy?! So, ya that ruined it for me BIG TIME! In other news, Ashley Greene and Jackson Rathborne still looked rather cute. My statues on this... Don't go see this movie. You're setting yourself up for disappointment. Not even worthy of Daisy.
• Felicia's Journey: I'm still somewhat on the fence about this one. Felicia's boyfriend goes to England from Ireland for a job. When they bid farewell to each other she asks him what his address is and he paused then said," I'll send it to you." First sign girly, that your boyfriend does not want to be with you. So after some time, she goes to England to look for him. Bob Hoskins (not the boyfriend) plays a manager of a catering company who watches a cooking channel, which he happened to be on when he was a kid. Somehow they cross paths and there are a lot of flashbacks of other girls in a car being recorded with a hidden camera just talking about their lives. So far, I've only seen half of it because the movie is about 2 hours and 33 minutes long. Hey man, don't get on my about not finishing a movie, I was getting hungry and the hubby made some awesome burgers! Anyway, Thing is there have been girls missing and it seems that dear ol' Bob has something to do with it. So upon meeting Felicia, he (according to my hubby) starts to stalk her (I saw it as him being friendly, as in lure her in so he can kill her later) so he can have his way with her later on. As much as I have seen up to this point, if you want to sit through a long movie that does not have big names attached to it, I would say, get your ass on the couch with some snacks and go for it. I give it 2 Daisy-girls.
• Jolene: This stars Jessica Chastain, who is riding high after winning an award for her role in Zero Dark Thirty. Her character, Jolene, is fucked in ever sense of the way her whole life. Not like porn fucked, but more as in how did this girl survive and not just end it all. She marries at the age of 15, then her husband's uncle (or something) is eyeing her as she is scrubbing the floor and grinding her body to some music, so he picks her up, says," Happy Birthday Jolene" and has sex with her. They start to have an affair but then the aunt finds out, kicks her out in her nighty and her husband finds her curled up trying to cover herself on the front porch with a plant vine. Next it shows her husband jumping off a bridge. Seeing as she is underage, she is taken to juvi or some sort of foster place, where Francis Fisher (this lady is awesome and very pretty for her age) plays a guard there and fingers Jolene. She soon helps her escape, but then Jolene leaves her too and is seen hitchhiking and turning tricks for money. She then lands somewhere where she becomes a stripper and Chazz Palminteri (my friend Cindy's fave actor) and he takes her in, but then he's shot and she leaves once again. She then works as a waitress and some guy takes interest in her. He happens to be a tattoo artist and they eventually get married, she then finds out that he has a child and is into drugs (this I know because Denise Richards is holding a baby saying that the child belongs to him... she was excellent!). She ends up trashing the tattoo parlor and taking the money she found, but left the cocaine she found on the table with the wedding ring (take the coke bitch and sell it!!!) I don't recall which story happened first, the Chazz one or the tattoo guy one, but either way it happens. She then meets Michael Vartan's character and all seems nice and fancy until they get married (his parents don't like her, they have money, she doesn't) He asks how many guys she has slept with and she tells him (kinda) he then bitch slaps her enough that he leaves a welt-like mark on her face and he is praying to God on how," it was her fault I hit her." He ends up beating the shit out of her once his parents give him info about her past. She ends up in the hospital and is soon released. She and her baby (not Denise Richards' kid) are eating somewhere and the cops come and arrest her for kidnapping (guess the hubby wanted to keep the kid). In the end, she is seen on Hollywood Blvd, with a smile on her face walking away from the camera. I guess I must have missed something somewhere. I mean were you not going to fight for your kid? How did you have the money to get to Cali, let alone L.A.? Does she not know that it's hard to find a job there? Okay, okay, here it is. If you want to see Jessica Chastain's boobies, see her suffer, hear her narrate herself, and her life span from the age of 15 (which I didn't buy into it that she looked 15) to about 30 or so, then by all means go for it. I give it 3 Daisy-girls.

Really, where does the time go?

I don't even know what to think. I mean, really, where the hell does the time go?! I know that I have not posted in quite some time, but 4 months?!?! Wow. I guess I've just been working too much and I feel tired on the weekends or time sure seems to be passing by rather quickly. I wanted to post during the 2 weeks I had off for Winter Break...but I spent the majority of it shopping. =). This sure came as a surprise to me, because I really don't care too much for shopping, especially for me. But I sure came out with some great deals. I am in love with Old Navy all over again. I had not bought or worn jeans since about elementary school. My problem is is that I am short and chubby. So either all jeans I have tried on the pant legs are too long or the thigh area is too baggy looking. So during the break, I went to Old Navy and decided, "okay, it's time to try some jeans on and see how they look and feel." As I was pulling them on, I thought, "please let them fit nice and please don't be too long." They are fine! They are a bit long, but doesn't look too bad and I'm not about to cut about 3 inches (usually pants I buy I end up cutting off about 5+ inches) off. So I walked out with 3 pairs of pants. One of the jeans are supposed to be capris, but on me, they fit perfectly in length. My hubby has never seen me wear jeans. He commented on how I look different, but good. I'm happy about that.
