TRANSFORMERS!!!!! A REAL THRILL RIDE!

My son and family came to visit this past weekend, so needless to say, I had a wonderful time with them and my grandson! He is growing bigger and bigger. He now weighs 13lbs 2oz. After they left on Sunday, my hubby and I took in the new Transformer movie. It was kind of weird to start, but then got much better! It was non-stop action with these autobots and the special effects were just awesome!. My husband of course drooled over Megan Fox, who is a very beautiful young woman, and Shia was his typical self. It was a good movie if you like robots and things like that. Far fetched but worth it! It made out real good at the box office too!
Looking forward to seeing My Sisters Keeper and Johnny Depp in Public Enemies which is the story of John Dillinger.

A HAPPY DAY // A VERY SAD DAY

Today, June 25th is my sons birthday. He is 29 years old today and is the father of a 2 month old baby boy. It is a happy day for me and the family because I look back at the memories of his birth and remember how he grew up. I think of his first words, his first smile, first step and now think of what a fine young young man and dad he is. Yes, it is a happy day.

In another sense, it is a very sad day, not only for me for the world. The actress Farrah Fawcett, and the POP ICON, Michael Jackson both passed away today. Farrah was 62 and was battling rectal cancer sine 2006. She fought very hard to defeat this dreaded disease, but just couldnt go on any more. She was a beautiful woman and will me sadly missed. She played a great role in Charlies Angels on TV and played some really good parts in movies such as the Burning Bed and Extemities. She was also known for her long, flowing blond tresses which she lost because of the cancer. Farrah is a real Angel now with her wings up in a beautiful place called Heaven. Rest in peace now.

Michael Jackson was 50 yrs old and went into cardiac arrest in LA today. They tried to resusitate him heroicly but for what ever reason, he just couldnt make it. Michael was a POP ICON, one who will go down in history. His musical and dance talents were phenomenal. I remember the first time I saw him and followed him and his music for a very long time. Thriller, Billie Jean, Bad, and many more will go down in history as the best songs ever. He was strange in many ways and was accused of many things such as child molestation. God only knows whether he was guilty or not. He changed his body and his face numerous times and became something that he didnt even know. He became introverted and just very weird, but his music and his MOON WALK, will always be remembered. Rest in Peace Michael,and always know you and your music will always be remembered!

Yes, our lives are and will be always filled with happy days and sad days. We have no control over life and death. That is why it is so very important to cherish each and every day that you breathe. Live life to the fullest and learn to love everything and everyone!!

New Movies! Taking of Pelham 123, The Hangover and The Proposal

Have 3 movie reviews this time! Since Paul and I love the movies so much!! The Taking of Pelham 123, was a great action thriller starring John Travolta and Denzel Washington. It deals with a hijacked subway train with hostages and is a fast, relentless thriller. It is a remake of the 1974 movie with Walter Mathau. If you like action this is a great one not to miss.
Hangover - is a very very funny movie. My husband laughed so hard almost the entire movie. This comedy is about a bunch of friends who go to Vegas for their buddies bachelor party and somehow end up having no memory of the wild night they had. They lose the prospected groom, gain a baby along the way and have a disaster of a time. Acting was good and movie was a true comedy!
The Proposal- This movie stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. It is a cool, classy, romantic comedy and we loved it! Betty White also stars in this film and is her usual funny self even in her 80's.
It is the story of a chief executive who forces her assistant to marry her so she will not be deported to Canada. They travel to Alaska to meet his family and then all the fun starts. It is funny and quite entertaining.
Thats it for the movies for now! Until next time!
