Waitressing through the evening

So I still don't have cable in the new place. Or Internet. So basically I'm going a little stir crazy. I finished like two books this weekend and watched about every movie I own. I did get the chance to check out two new ones I'd like to share now that I have access to the glorious thing we take for granted called the Internet.

Evening.
One of the top casts in movie history or at least recent movie history. Follow up to The Hours, one of my top 10 of all time. This is not as good though. The acting is fabulous even ones like Close and Richardson who aren't in much of the piece just deliver. I'm quite impressed with Clare Danes who really delivered the movie she successfully carried it. I wasn't a huge fan of Patrick Wilson but I don't think I can take him seriously ever after watching him in Little Children (bad guy in the movie and a bad movie!). Hugh Darcy is just divine I hope to see more of him because he is adorable and a fab actor. Worth checking out if you are a chick or if you like movies. Probably not for the general public or for date night.

Waitress.
Now this is a stellar movie. It surprised me I heard it was good so I picked it up but it was amazing! Keri Russell is just a dream she is sassy and sweet and sullen all together. Gives such a starkly honest look at relationships, marriage, small town, working class, shattered and achieved dreams, motherhood and everything but with this sassy humor that makes you believe your similar problems are bearable. Funny, honest, sweet and very well acted. Good good for anyone to check out.

Since the cable is out and I can't watch TV on the Internet I rented the last few seasons of Sex and the City from the video store. Now you either love or hate this show but you can't deny after watching it that it changed the way television was done and how women were portrayed on TV. If you haven't indulged in it I suggest you start now especially with the movie coming out at the end of the month. Not being a frugal college gal I most often wait til movies come out on DVD and pick them up at the local video store. And I will pay full price opening day of Sex and the City the Movie. Probably won't make my top 10 but every year needs a great popcorn flick and this will be the chick flick, date flick, cult flick, popcorn flick of the summer. Guaranteed.

Until the wireless gets wired. <3
