Netflix Move Night - The Blind Side

So I finally got The Blind Side from Netflix and started to watch it. I had heard that it was a tear jerker, and I'm not big on watching movies that make me cry.....but we finally decided to watch it.

I have to say, this was definately one of the better movies I have seen in a very long time. Loved Sandra Bullock, she definately deserved that Oscar for her role. If you haven't seen it, go watch it right now! Don't worry about crying - I didn't cry once, but not to say it wasn't touching.

Great movie. 5 Stars.

Turbo + Eclipse

I had a super busy, productive day today. First, work all day (as usual) then head to the gym where I taught the second part of Turbo because Shelly had to leave. I did OK. For some reason I was feeling super sluggish and had a hard time finishing. Maybe I needed to eat something closer to time rather than at 3:00 when I work out at 5:45. Luckily, the numbers were low for bootcamp, so I skipped team teaching and was able to shower and change before heading to Malco to go see Eclipse!

On my way, I had to stop by Wendy's for something to eat - 2 grilled chicken go-wraps. Then made an important phone call which may bring big changes to my life (more on that if/when those changes develop), then made it to the movie just in time.

Eclipse was definitely the best of the three Twilight movies. When Bella and Edward kiss, it is not as weird and awkward as it is in the first two. The action is good, and the werewolves are adorable! :) I obviously knew how the story was going to go so there were no surprises there, but I still found myself completely absorbed throughout the entire movie.....except when people would cheer or clap. That broke my concentration, but it was expected.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars!

Shutter Island

After our Pizza Shack trip last night, we came home and watched our Netflix movie....Shutter Island.

I had high expectations for this movie. I usually like Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese films, and I was sure this one would not disappoint.  While it did keep me on edge for most of the movie (I kept reminding myself to relax because my shoulders were tensed), I pretty much figured out what was going to happen a little after half way through, and then started to get bored. All in all, I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. I did think Leo was good, but I probably won't be watching this one again. Plus it was over 2 hours long.
