I have a feeling this post could get incredibly long...so I'm apologizing in advance. But, here are my reviews....
MOVIE: KillersFor the past year and a half I have been nannying every Monday and Tuesday afternoon. The girl I nanny, Alexa, is thirteen and is at the in between age where she's perfectly capable of being home alone, but doesn't love it and obviously can't drive herself anywhere. So I hang out with her two days a week after school. Last summer her schedule was jam packed so the didn't need my help, but I was thrilled this year when they asked me to nanny throughout the summer. Yesterday afternoon was a rainy one so we decided to see a movie. My little sister is the same age as Alexa and I have been dying for them to meet. So me and Alexa and her friend Bennet went to pick up my sister Kara and we all went to see "Killers" with Katherine Heigl and Aston Kutcher (who I'm in love with). The movie was cute. It was predictable and the plot was mediocre. He's a spy in the CIA and gives it up when he meets and falls in love with her. Flash forward three years and they're married and soon everyone is trying to kill him. Kind of stupid, but I liked it nonetheless. There were some funny parts and overall I would recommend it. Plus, I'll pay $5.00 to stare at Ashton for 2 hours ANY DAY!
BOOK: This Horse and His Bou by C.S. Lewis
I have found over the years in discussions with my friends that I am somehow the only person in my generation that hasn't read the Chronicles of Narnia books. Even people I went to school with have read these books, I don't know how I missed them. I've seen the two movies and am anxiously awaiting the third, which comes out on December. Lucky for me, J's little sister has the whole collection of books and is nice enough to let me borrow them. I read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" a few months ago and am finally getting back into the series. I just finished reading the third book of the chronicles, "The Horse and his Boy." I loved it. I actually liked it better than "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." This book was the fifth book published in the series but is the third book chronologically. I'd try to give a description but it's kind of complicated and I foresee it getting really long and I'm fairly certain most of you don't care. So I'll say this...if you haven't read it, I recommend it. It's a super fast read, I got through it in like two and a half days. I have heard rumors that they may make this book into a movie as well. They are making the movies in the order which they were published, so this one would be the fifth movie released. I REALLY hope they do, it's a great story and while I was reading it I was visualizing how they would do it on the big screen!
BACHELORETTE: Week 4
Ok, in regards to last night's Bachelorette I need to get a few things off my chest...
*Was Ali sick? Seriously! We get it...you don't feel well. That sucks but you don't need to tell us 80 million times! Also, she goes to NYC and gets an InStyle "makeover" yet every single outfit she wore was hideous! I don't get it. I'm also really distracted by her extensions. I mean, her hair is beautiful but I know it's fake. They made a huge deal over it on E! News before the show started...so every time it looks good I just think about it's fakeness. She's starting to irritate me, can you tell?
*WHO IN THE HELL IS THIS GUY?!
Ok, ok...I know from looking it up that is name is Chris N. But he has not said more than 2 words this whole season! Has he ever even talked to Ali? Yet, somehow he keeps getting a rose!
*"I WILL GUARD AND PROTECT YOUR HEART!" Wow! Wow! Wow! Kasey is a certified psycho!
My BB watched the show after I did, so I asked her to count how many times he said "Guard and protect your heart" AND IT WAS ELEVEN! 11! THAT'S RIGHT 11! Eleven times in one episode! I'm not even going to get into the tattoo because we ALL know that was crazy, stupid, psycho, scary! HOW DID HE GET A ROSE?! Because he got her sour patch kids? REALLY?
*LOVE! love! love! love! love!
wow! I love him. I was a puddle when he was talking about his mom and how she told him and his brothers to look for her in rainbows and then after her funeral there was a rainbow! And when he called his dad....ugh! SERIOUSLY, LOVE! My favorite Chris moment from the show, however, is when he was talking about Kasey and how he pictured Ali with doves flying behind her, running to him in a field, with unicorns. Then he goes, "I don't know if it's real love, it's unicorn love." He's funny to boot! Still my fave!
*These two are staying strong in my #2 and #3 spot
Roberto and Kirk!
Alright, this is getting ridiculous...time to wrap it up. I am now participating in
And my tool for this week is KASEY
Last week, I posted about the Bachelorette HERE. I chose Kasey, Jonathan and Craig as the boys to be sent home.
Ali only sent two packing and Jonathan was one of them, sadly Jesse was the other.
Again, I'm not sure how many she let's go next week but my guess us Kasey is as good as gone and I still think Craig has overstayed his welcome.
So there's my recap and prediction!
If you're still awake, thanks for reading! Have a GREAT Tuesday!
