My son is in the living room right now getting his dose of classic musical culture. We are watching Silk Stockings from 1957:

Silk Stockings - 1957 - Original Trailer

I dont care what anyone says, that movie is crazy and just GOOD. Unpredictable, except for the love interest. Nothing  could have prepared me and hubby for the movie excellence that ensued. Smith was amazing in his role as Mr. Thomas. Great film. I highly recommend this one to all *not children, tho...it's a bit much for them*.

'Wonder Woman' Movie Rumors - ComicMix news

http://www.comicmix.com/news/2008/11/...

Some Wonder Woman news popped up over the weekend.  First, there was Beyonce Knowles telling Geoff Boucher at the Los Angeles Times that she’d love to portray the Amazon Princess. "I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It's time for that, right?" she said. She has appeared in Austin Powers in Goldmember, Dreamgirls, and Cadillac Records in addition to her pop music career.  Knowles indicated she has personally expressed her interest to both the studio and representatives at DC Comics. The shapely and fit performer was ready for the revealing and tight tradition outfit as first designed by artist Harry G. Peters.  "I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume. The way that Lynda Carter wore it, she was sooo fine. She was amazing. I saw her costume at the Met. Her waist was unbelievable. It was pretty crazy, actually, her proportions. But I love Wonder Woman and it'd be a dream come true to be that character. It sure would be handy to have that lasso. To make everybody tell the truth? I need that. It would come in very handy." The 27 year old also noted, "When you think about the psychology of the heroes in the films these days, they are still a lot of work, of course, and emotional. But there's also an action element that I would enjoy."IESB is reporting rumors that Warner Bros. may be circling back to McG to direct the long-stalled movie.  The man is currently in post-production on Terminator Salvation and was scheduled to direct the Superman reboot before walking off the project prior to Bryan Singer’s involvement. He was also interested in The Losers which went to Tim Story before the studio reassigned it to Sylvain White. “Let me be very clear about this, I don't know if he has been signed on or if his is just one of the names being circulated by the studio or if in fact it's McG himself lobbying for the gig. ...

PLEASE GOD NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

The Forbidden Kingdom

It started out slow, and I thought it might end up being Karate Kid 2.0...but it didn't. Holy mackerel. This was a great movie. The fighting, the plot, the premise, the moral, the ending. Superb. I adored the cinematography. My son was the one to suggest we go to the movies as a family. I wanted to go bowling. Since the Man's thumb is still jammed, that was a no go. We all took the scenic route to the movie complex, but had a great time. I highly recommend this movie to anyone into Kung Fu or martial arts of any kind. Jackie and Jet were awesome. It was just a great movie all around...

It does lose points for the B word and a few other issues I had with language. I didn't know that PG 13 movies were allowed to say that, but then times have changed since I had to care what a PG 13 movie entailed. Just a warning for anyone with smaller kids. My son didn't catch it, as he was too interested in the action, but my husband and I did.

What do you think about the initiative to put  closed captioning in movie theaters? Personally, I think it's awesome, but I also think they should have some way of doing it so everyone in the theater doesn't have to read the dialog. I wonder how they would do that, though. Maybe they would just have special showing for the hearing impaired to come and enjoy the theater. 

What movie did you expect would be terrible, but was actually really good?

  The Number 23 was a huge surprise. I had no idea it would be THAT good. It was eerie and enthralling all at the same time. Jim Carrey is such a versatile actor. I love how he can do comedy, then do a serious movie a few months later. His role in this movie was amazing.

Okay so my husband spoils me. I even have a cute shirt that my son picked out at the age of 2 that says so LOL

This weekend we went shopping at the mall and we found this:

The Ultimate Matrix Collection (The Matrix/ The Matrix Reloaded/ The Matrix Revolutions/ The Animatr

I thought I would take time this morning while getting ready to watch my favorite movie. I DVR'd it the other day so I could have a sit down and watch when the kid wasn't running about. The dog is at the kennel and my son is asleep. I get to watch :

To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar

If anyone feels so compelled, I would love to have this movie in my physical collection. You know, I usually would feel bad about asking but today I don't. I went to bed with a migraine, woke up with a hint of it. I can feel it coming back now. I have less than an hour before I have to go 2 1/2 hours up to the Poconos for the barbecue with my husband's dad's family. I am feeling all kinds of BLEH. So anyway, I am going to go sulk for a while and try to laugh at my favorite movie and forget about everyone's opinion but mine.
