Movie of the Weekend! DRAG ME TO HELL

This weekend nothing too good came out, except for the kiddie movie Up. Paul and I went to see the horror movie Drag Me to Hell. If you are a horror film buff like myself, it was enjoyable but a little silly. Hubby did not like it at all. It dealt with a curse put on the main character by a gypsy woman and the object involved was a button. Lots of wacky stuff happen and it was just a silly thriller. The end was quite silly too and you knew the ending before it happened. Next weekend some better ones come out. I would like to see Hangover and Pelham 1-2-3, and my Life in Ruins. We shall see!!

Freedom Ride

Today, my husband and I deceided to go to Liberty Park and walk around since it was a nice day. When we got there we were shocked to find thousands of motorcycles parked at the Park. We walked around looking at all the fancy, detailed work on some of these bikes---totally unbelieveable! There were little bikes, big bikes, 3 wheeler bikes, lots of chrome and lots of nice lookin biker guys!!! Now these are not the big bad motorcycle guys from the bad clubs, these are fireman, cops and good guys that belong to nice bike clubs. We spent hours looking at biker jewelry, helmet stickers, listened to a band and watched sailboats on the Hudson. These bikers came from all over and met up in Hackensack. From there they went to NY to the Trade Center and then came back to Jersey and to Liberty Park. They were giving donations to the Veterans of the Wars who were amputees and those with other problems. This ride indeed was for a good cause. They do this every year to raise money and I really enjoyed the day! It was a sunny, warm day with plenty of good sightings!!! Keep RIDING guys!!!

ADAM and QUEEN!!!!!!!

Adam Lambert the runner up on American Idol has a big decision to make. He was asked to be the lead singer for QUEEN!!! Wow, what are you going to do Adam? You will never replace Freddie Mercury but if you say yes, your career will start off big! Some people feel he should just go on his own and make it big for himself, but personally, I feel if he starts off with Queen he has a good chance on becoming a sensation! He needs to get some guidance and instruction on writing songs and becoming a hit in a band and I feel the 2 members of Queen can help him. I realize that he is young and the others are close to my age, but hell, this is some opportunity for him and I do hope he considers it. We will have to wait and see for his reply. Way to go Adam!

Death of a Child

Today, the 4yr old daughter of Mike Tyson, the boxer, died. She was taken off life support because of a freak accident involving a rope or something from a treadmill. She was playing and somehow was strangled by this rope. How sad it is that a young child, whose life has not even evolved yet has to die like this. We always seem to ask God why!
Why did he take the life of this child? Why me? Why this, why that? Death they say is not to be questioned. Why not? There are many questions to be asked about death, but unfortunately there are no answers. When a child dies, is it fate? Is it the childs destiny? As Christians we are taught to accept death and consider it a reward to be with God. We will be in a better place they say. I personally would have a hard time dealing with the death of a child. If he/she were my own, I would be totally devastated. I can not imagine what people go through when their child dies. Acceptance of death is a hard thing to deal with. Yes, life goes on, but that pain of loss will always be there. It is not whether one is strong or not, the strongest of men have broken down in tears when they lose a son or daughter. Mike Tyson and Family and all other people who have suffered losses, my pain is with you and so are my prayers.

Angels and Demons

Went to see Angels and Demons. The movie was great with lots of action. I had read the book about 2 yrs ago and it was better than The Davinci Code. Tom Hanks did a superb job as Langdon. The plot was great,, some scenes were a little bloody, but good. Just hope nothing like that ever happens in real life!
Today, went to see The Museum Movie=Night at the Smithsonian. Paul and I like Ben Stiller so we went to relax and watch a comedy. It was a little lame but entertaining. Paul was falling asleep and I knew he was kind of bored with it. Robin Williams plays a good Teddy Roosevelt and the others were ok. I am looking forward to seeing Christian Bale as the Terminator.

Little Jay 4 weeks old

Little Jason is 4 weeks old already! Time flies. He weighs over 9 lbs now and is 22.5 inches long. Growing well! My daughter in law De and my son send us pics of him on our phone and I put them on the PC and print up pictures. I have been so busy making photo albums and scrapbooks of my grandbaby! We spent last weekend in Maryland and Paul and I were thrilled to be there with them and little Jay. He looks like her side of the family for now, but as we all know, babies faces change all the time. I cried when we had to leave, it just seems so far. It took us 4 hrs to get home that Sunday as traffic was horrible around the Delaware Bridge and then on the Turnpike at exit 7 and 8. The summer is coming and traffic will be awful! If we can see him at least once every couple of weeks I would not mind. I just want him to grow up knowing his Nana and Poppie in New Jersey!!

Dissapointed in AI voters! Adam should have won!!

I was watching AI faithfully since it started and loved Allison and my boy Adam. Last week, I was totally dumbfounded when Adam lost to Kris!! What was America thinking? Pick the goody twoshoe and the Christian, over the gothic and gay guy??? Was his eyeliner and black nail polish too much for America?? He has a phenomenal voice and he sings Mad World like no one ever did. Adam has way more talent than Kris and I think it was awful that he lost!!! His performance with Kiss was great and I thought for sure he was the winner. To me, Kris is BLAH. He has not done anything original. This last show was great with all the past and present singers. Queen, Keith Urban, Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper and Black Eyed Peas did a great job. It was one of the best idol show ever except the wrong guy won!!! No matter what, Adam will definately go far and he will do much better than Kris. Adam, good luck in all you do- I was one of your loyal fans!!!!

Baby Jay is one week and 4 days old!

Time is flying! My little grandson is almost 2 weeks old already. His features are changing and he looks like a little man! We will be visiting in 2 weeks and I wish it was sooner. He is eating good and sleeps a bit better at night. His mom and dad are adjusting well, and so is Tucker boy their lab. My son sends me a pic of him every day and I just love it! Since we cant see him often, at least with pics I can see him change! Sleep well my little prince!

X-Men- Wolverine

Today was a movie day, especially since it was damp, cloudy, and rainy! We went to see Hugh Jackman in Wolverine. I liked the action and the fighting, but the story line was a little boring. It sure cleaned up in the money, thats for sure. It made 35 million the Friday it opened. Hugh Jackson is a good actor, dont get me wrong, but there was just something missing! My hubby fell asleep at certain parts and said Wolverine could never compare to Batman, Superman and all the other heroes we had growing up. At one point, you believe his wife gets killed, then you find out she is alive, then she gets shot and dies again..... I was like, now wait a minute what is going on here? Then you find out all the other XMen are prisoners on an island and are released at the end. The story was a bit confusing, but like I said earlier, the fighting scenes were real good and looking at Hugh Jackman with his shirt off was kinda nice too. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate this movie around a 7.
