So I watch a lot of movies. A LOT of movies. We have Netflix and I take full advantage of it every month. I usually get in at least two rentals a week. That’s at least 8 movies a month. For only $15. So yeah, great deals! I also take advantage of the instant viewing online.
The point being, I’m going to share with you some of my recent favorites.
Songcatcher was a movie recommended to me by a college professor. With my first degree I minored in American Music and had to take a class in American Music. This movie came up because we talked about old ballads that came over and stayed alive via oral tradition.
Gray watched this with me and we were both delighted by the music. Not only is there a shining young star to be (Emmy Rossum pre-Phantom of the Opera) but the story line is refreshing. I enjoyed every minute of the movie.
The Ugly Truth is not in my genre of movies I typically like, but it starred Katherine Heigl who is one of my favorite actresses, so I gave it a shot. I was not disappointed! Heigl plays a television news producer who has trouble hooking guys because of her type A personality (Hello SELF!). Along comes a guy (Gerald Butler) who is pretty much the opposite of her “type” to show her how to successfully hook a guy and keep him.
As I said, it’s not my typical movie, but I really enjoyed it despite that.
Today I will be watching New Moon so hopefully I will have a review of that up in the next day or two!

I'm not a fan of Heigl, but I do like some of her movies. 27 dresses was hyped so much that I thought I would love it, and then I felt like she just didn't do a good enough job in it. So I thought I wouldn't like the Ugly truth either. But I did! She was good in it. And I loved Gerard! I just liked the humor about men and women.
@Trina, This was a movie Gray and I fought about going to see in the theaters. I wanted to and he sort of did, but there was another movie (at the time) he really wanted to see. I believe it was District 12. Anyway, I've liked Heigl since I saw her in Wish Upon a Star and I love on Grey's Anatomy so I tend to watch every movie she does.
27 Dresses was very hyped, but I still loved it. I love any romance movie like that, even if it is predictable. :)
