Do you want to know who made the final decision for me as to what movie I would go see yesterday?

My Uterus.

Yep. My uterus had already made plans for me to spend the entire day bawled up on the couch cramping and popping ibuprofen like they were sweet tarts. So? I watched a bunch of DVDs I own, but havent seen yet.

1)Le Divorce
This was a nice movie. It was not anything like I thought it was going to be. I tend to get certain previews and reviews mixed up and form my own movie in my head. For some reason - I thought this was about several couples all in love/having an affair with each other’s spouses. And I thought it was strictly a comedy. Well - there were elements my imaginary plot - but it was definitely not 100% laughs, thats for sure. It was good though. Good.

2)Matrix Reloaded
I THINK thats the name of it. My cramping look up the official title.

I tried to watch this at Christmas (it was a gift from the in-laws) but I fell asleep about 20 minutes into it. MrZoot has been dying to see the last one, but I wont let him rent it since I never saw the second part. So? While he was helping his brother build a deck, I decided to watch it. And the suprise of the year? I really really got into it. The only complaint I have is the scene where the girl makes Keanu kiss her like he “she’s HER” pointing to his girlfriend (whats-her-face).

Keanu and whats-her-face - why dont I get paid to write reviews again?

Anyway - that scene felt contrived and almost comical. Other than that though? I really enjoyed the movie. I was on the edge of my seat during the fight scenes and was into the actual story, which, according to the reviews, was sucky. I really was NOT expecting to like that movie, but I did. Go figure.

3. Somthings Gotta Give
Brilliant. Diane Keaton was fantastic. I dont want to spoil it, but I will say that my number one (and only) complaint was that I felt really sorry for one character at the end. I can’t think of a better ending, but I still felt bad for this person. I wont say anymore - I dont want to ruin it if you havent seen it. So - go see it. Its fantasic.

The most amazing thing about this movie? This was the FIRST Keanu Reeves movie I was able to watch and NOT think about Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. That is my biggest beef against Keanu, I always expect him to break out with a surfer-style “Excellent!” in every movie he’s been in. But that movie? I didnt. Not once. I honeslty, for the first time, forgot he was ever in Bill and Ted’s and it made watching him on screen MUCH more enjoyable.

Did you know he’s totally hot? Yeah - I never noticed. Hmmm. Good movie.

Sidenote: For those of you recommending Farenheit 9/11, I can not see that. I’m blaming it on the SIZE of my city, but I have a sneaking suspicion it has more to do with the conservative nature of the state of Alabama. Huntsville? Usually doesnt scream “conservative, southern baptist” like other parts of Alabama do. Either way - its showing at ZERO theaters. Thanks though - I do want to see it.

At 11:00am CST, I will meet LilZoot 200 miles away, and be bringing him home. Next time you see me? I’ll be a totally happy camper.
