The Vow - Movie

0 comments
So I was scrolling through posts and came across the one where I made a list of movies I wanted to see. I realize that I've only seen ONE movie off that entire list! That's truly sad. Anyway! The one I saw was The Vow. I give it credit. It was a great love story. It originally made me think of 50 First Dates when I saw the story line. Girl gets in an accident, can't remember anything, falls in love, lives happily ever after. This definitely isn't the same story though. Throughout this movie you see a lot of love between the two main characters that you can't help but wish you had. I know I'd kill for a man to love me enough to do everything he could to make me love him again. I can barely get a man to show me affection after he has me, much less do everything over again to make me feel that way again. It really is a great movie.
On another note, I will be seeing more of the movies on my list now. Given that most of them are now on DVD, I can just rent them! so ha!
I do have three more to add that look funny. I saw previews for them when we went to the movies to see two movies this past week!

Those movies are:
Hotel Transylvania
FrankenWeenie
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (the one I wanna see most)

A Stolen Life: A Memoir - Book

0 comments



So I recently read A Stolen Life: A Memoir, by Jaycee Dugard. For those of you that might not know who that is, she was the young girl, kidnapped from near her home when she was 11 years old and was "found" eighteen years later. I'm by no means an expert writer, but I have to say that if you didn't know this was written by someone with no more than a fourth grade education, you'd choose to describe it as tacky, unprofessional and written poorly. The book made me want to put it down and keep reading all at the same time. I felt like I was reading a child's journal but then I would get wrapped up in what she was writing and I couldn't put it down. This poor girl went through so much more than the news and internet portrayed. I would recommend this book, however, I would also warn them to take into consideration who is writing it. This girl was kept prisoner for eighteen years by a pedophile and his wife who thought her husband did no wrong. It makes you want to scream, get sick and ask what's wrong with people in the world. How did people not know what was going on? How did the law, the parole officers, and people they ran across not know who she was or that something was wrong? Read it!
