The Movie Reviews

"Parental Guidance" with Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei, Tom Everett Scott, Bailee Madison,
Joshua Rush, Kyle Harrison Breitkopf, Jennifer Crystal Foley, Gedde Watanabe, Rhoda Griffis, Madison
Lintz, Brad James

2012, Rated PG, 104 minutes

This movie is one of those that try to be funny by having the characters do annoying and senseless things for
the first half. Finally someone grows a brain, and things get better. In this case, a married couple, Tomei and
Scott, must go out of town for a week and are forced to leave their three liberal-raised, touchy-feely children
with her parents, Conservatives Crystal and Midler, because Scott's parents, whom they prefer, refuse. Tomei
is so traumatized that she returns, leaving her husband to go alone. That doesn't help. Not one of our very
favorite movies, but not all that bad in the end. We gave it   ★★★


"The Sorcerer and the White Snake" with Jet Li, Eva Huang, Raymond Lam, Charlene Choi, Wen Zhang,
Vivian Hsu, Wu Jiang, Miriam Yeung Chin Wah, Chapman To, Kar-Ying Law

2011, Rated PG-13, 95 minutes

A departure for Jet Li, one of my favorite martial arts actors, this movie is a beautifully done, CG-heavy fantasy
story about a beautiful snake demon (Eva Huang) who falls in love with a poor herbalist (Raymond Lam). She
enchants him, and he believes that she saved his life and that he loves her. But demons are evil, even though they
occasionally do favors for mankind, and when Li tries to break the spell, the demon gets very violent. The movie
was a pleasant surprise, and I hope that Li does more films like this one. We gave it   ★★★★

It was just from walking around all day in my clogs. I’m fine now, and may run tomorrow, if it’s not raining.

We watched “Hitchcock” this evening. It was enjoyable. The Jet Li movie looks good ... he’s a cutie!

I have some clogs, the are really noisy when I walk on wooden floors. Why don’t clog dancers wear clog? They look kinda like tap shoes. My friend told me that you can’t buy happiness, but you can buy tap shoes and that’s kinda the same.

Everyone looks at you when you’re wearing tap shoes.

I used to wear SAS shoes all the time, but my last pair of loafers wore out a little over a year ago (around the time Kathleen was born), and I discovered they don’t make that kind any more. I think I’d had them ten years. And my sandals gave out last summer, after only eight years! I believe they still make the sandals.

There’s a store over in Pineville - I saw it near the mall when I took the kids there before Easter. Since I haven’t found any other sandals I really like, it could be worth the trip and the price.

Instead of SAS loafers, I’m wearing Dansko clogs for general winter use. Usually they’re fine, but I think carrying Frank during Mass was just too much for my whole skeleton. He’s enormous!

Here is Shannon to tell me it’s not nice outside and we should all go back to bed with her.

What you’ve told us about Tom leads me to believe that would be a very good thing.

One of Tom in a family is plenty. Frank is the other type of brother, like Bill and James: the one who aren’t freak geniuses.

Yeah, she always had that look to her for some reason.

One Vet hypothesized that she may have had some Manx in her due to her face shape.
And her attitude.

*shrugs*
Doesn’t matter, she was a card and I miss her.
