Movie Monday: Iron Man

Why did i wait soo long to watch this movie!?!?!?!?!!!

It was FANTASTIC!!

LOVED THE STORY ~ LOVED THE ACTION!!

ROBERT DOWNEY JR WAS GREAT!!

MOVIE THURSDAY: Sex and the City

I changed my mind about not seeing movie this week.

Watching The Happening on Friday was a "special"
treat ... I just wanted to contribute to the
opening weekend gross.

Anyways, since I was planning on seeing S.A.T.C.
on Monday, but didnt, because I forgt to bring my ID
with me ... I watched it today!!

SPOILER ALERT:



I enjoyed it ... I really thought that the wedding
would never happen. But I'm glad it went the way
the movie ended.

Laughed at the whole Charlotte "pooping" situation ~
Would have wanted more sex from Samantha ~
Hated the separation between Miranda and Steve ~
Cried when Carrie saw her "love letter" emails &
when she and BIG both went to "their" apartment
for one last time ... and the proposal!!

Congrats to the Celtics!!

Movie Monday...Not Today

I was planning on watching Sex and the City today,
but I didnt have my ID on me!! Had my credit cards
but no drivers license. I was planning on watching
another movie ~ not R-Rated ~ but since I saw two
movies last week ... it might be best to see the film
next monday.

I wonder if I would have been carded for the R-Rating,
or asked for my ID for paying with a credit card. The
same person seems to be working the Box Office. Once
at the concession stand, I wasn't asked for my ID.

I keep thinking, this is why I would hate to lose my
cards ~ people can just hand over a card and it'll
be swiped!!

So Kudos to the person at the Box Office who asks
me for my ID !!

The Happening - Part 2

Congrats to M. Night Shyamalan!!

$30,500,000 Gross for the weekend!!

I've been reading some reviews over the internet, negative
and positive. I'm not much for gory movies, I usually
feel unsettled with bloody scenes and body parts cut
off ... but with his movie ... I didnt even feel grossed
out when someone was letting lions eat his arms off
(it happens)!!

Anyways ~ M.Night said he made this as a "B-Movie" / so
thats what we got ... a campy "B-Movie" ... which i
really liked. I thought the scene with Marky Mark
talking to a plastic plant was HILARIOUS!! And the
scene with his wife when he said the was flirting
with a pharmacist was funny too.

Not "The Sixth Sense" ~ THANK GOD THAT WILL NEVER BE
DUPLICATED ... BECAUSE THAT WAS A KICK ASS MOVIE!!

CRITICS: Please stop starting your reviews with ..
"the man who wrote-directed sixth sense" ... and just
think of him as a writer-director. That's why you
dont get his movies ... your too busy looking for
a SIXTH SENSE: PART 2, 3, 4, 5 ~ That would be
a real disappointment.

Congrats ... I might actually see this movie again.

The Happening

Here it goes.

M. Night Shyamalan is basically my favorite Writer-Director

When the critics blasted Lady In The Water, I thought they
were just being MEAN, I enjoyed that movie!!

I've only seen some of the trailers for this movie,
and was excited to see what the story was going to be
about ... and see if there will be a "twist" ...
and if he was going to appear in the movie as usual.

I was semi-scared thinking this could be somekind
of "horror" genre ~ BUT IT WASNT ~ nothing close.

Anyways ... I decided to go on opening night ... to
support the weekend box office gross ~

WELL ... I'm glad I went ... It was "interesting" ...
I just wish THE HAPPENING WAS EXPLAINED ... and that
there would have been a "REAL" ending.

I SCREAMED DURING ONE SCENE (OLD LADY)
I THOUGHT ONE SCENE WAS QUITE DISTURBING (SHOTS FIRED AT KIDS)

Somewhat disappointed ... but I'm not going to beat
down M. Night ~

I stayed for the credits ... and saw my TWIST ... and
ofcourse ... in his own way ... M. Night did "appear"
in the move.

WHEN (IF) YOU WATCH THE MOVIE ... YOU'LL KNOW
WHAT I JUST MEANT ~

Vitamin Charge

Ralphs had another Vitamin Water "sale" ~ $1 each!!

This time i was able to get the CHARGE flavor ~

I guess it reminded me of the Lemon-Lime Gatorade's
but the flavor wasn't as noticeable. But it still
tasted nice.



superheroes aren't what they used to be. what
happened? it's like saving the world is a huge
hassle or something? no one wants to take
charge anymore and there's just lots of finger
pointing and "he said she said". not to mention
vests to stop speeding bullets, elevators for tall
buildings and villains running amuck (insert evil
laugh here).

that's where we come in. the b vitamins and
electrolytes in here will unleash your inner
superhero and give you what you need to take
charge of any situation. and when you do finally
ink that contract with the justice league,
remember the biggest perk of all...underoos.

"Sold" VS "Off Market"

I'm determined to get "The House" !!

So I checked the S.B. website and it's still listed.
Which makes me happy... since if this was a sale, she
would have marked it as "SOLD" ~ this probably was
something recent as well (going OFF the market).

Then I checked the R.M. website and it's listed
as "Off Market" ~ she had homes listed as "SOLD"
or "OFF MARKET" ~ AND THIS WASN'T SOLD!!

This brings me to the conclusion that the same people
who are selling are STILL in that home ... MAYBE ...
but it gives me hope that I can walk up to their door
with a suitcase full of $1 million and offer to buy
their home ... thus giving those real estate agents
reason to put a SOLD sign on their website.

Movie Monday: Baby Mama

i wasn't planning on watching this movie until
Ellen Degeneres recommended this on her show ~
She thought that it was really funny ~

I need to see more comedies :-D

Anyways ... i agree ... I did enjoy this movie!
There was 6 and 1/2 people in the theatre ~
someone brought a baby with her ~ thank goodness
that baby was quiet.

There's just something about Tina Fey I really
admire...funny actress...amazing writer...and
she makes wearing glasses "fashionable"...or
maybe its just her picking the right frame for
her face shape.

"Off The Market"

I finally received an email from S.B. regarding
"The House" ~

"the house is off the market...SORRY"

All I can hope for is that the current owners
took it off the market ... and that its not a
recent sale ... this way ... I can just go to
the owners ... and not have to worry about an
agent ~

But if its a new sale ... I hope the new owners
will be happy if i approach them with a generous
amount of money.

"Currently Sold"

I've been searching online to check if "The House" was
really off the market.

I checked the R.M. website and it was still listed ~
I checked the S.B. website and it was still listed ~
I checked Realtor.Com --> gone

Then I searched by the house address and decided to
go on TRUILA.COM ~ one of the matches found ~ It had
a street picture of the house ... and this notation:

"This house is CURRENTLY SOLD"

I didn't know if that info was current, so I decided
to email S.B. since it was still listed on her website.

Hopefully its still available!

Is That You B.A.G. ??

Today was mail day! My not-so-daily visit to my
Post Office. Anyways, I got my renewal notice for
the box ... its already been six months ... and
still no luck with getting "The House" ... one
reason why I opened up the box ... to be close
to the property!!

Before my usual "house stalking", I decided to go
to the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf ~ I'm still not
that fond of their cafe mocha, so I decided to get
an ice blended Green Tea.

I'm not too sure ... maybe its because of all of
the new 90210 promos on TV ... but I think I
saw Brian Austin Green sitting down. He had
shades on ... but when he spoke to one of the
baristas .. it sounded like him. He took off
his shades for a bit ... and it lookes like him.

I've been trying to look at pictures of him, shirt
off ... or sleeveless .. because this person had
some tattoos on his arm. Wouldn't it be nice if
he lived in the area?!?! B.A.G. could be my
neighbor!!

Anyways ... I got my drink and went on my way to
stand outside "The House" ... when I got there,
the FOR SALE sign was gone!!!!

Did someone buy the house?!?! Did the owners take
it off the market? I've checked two websites and
the property is still listed.

Was it a sign that I got a notice from the Post
office??

Movie Monday: Indiana Jones

I decided to make Mondays ... "Movie Night" !!



I've been waiting for the new Indiana Jones
movie to come out ... I was really interested how
they were going to begin the movie with the
transition of the Paramount Pictures mountain (logo)
I really enjoyed that concept since the first film.

Anyways ... it was a fun movie ... there's really
nothing much to say. I'll definitely get it for
my collection.

The only scene that annoyed me was Mutt and the
monkeys swinging from tree to tree. I know that
others would agree with me.

Universal Fire

I woke up around 8:45am and looked out my window
and was surprised to see "clouds" outside ~ I
thought it was a sunny day.

Anyways, I took a shower and dressed for work.
I didnt check the news for the weather, had the
TV on Sponege Bob ~

When I stepped out I looked up at the sky and saw
the grey "clouds" ... but then realized it was
SMOKE ~ I knew that there mus be a fire somewhere.
When I got to the main cross street I saw a HUGE
cloud of smoke ... and I knew it was coming from
Universal Studios.

I saw people just staring and I asked them what
that was ... first thinking that a plane might
have crashed ... but a man said it was the backlot
of Universal ... a soundstage caught on fire.

Now at work .... I find out that the King Kong
attraction is GONE ... and just a couple of days
ago, I took this picture ~



I was waiting awhile at my bus stop, looking at
all the debri that "traveled" ~ an MTA car stopped
by and said the bus I was waiting for was re-routed.
He was going to drop me off at the nearest bus stop,
but when he found out that my destination was close
by, he took me all the way to that bus stop, and told
those people that it was going to be LATE. Thought
that it was nice of him ... but kinda felt weird too.
