Si, Se Puede--Yes, you can!

Just got back from seeing COWBOYS AND ALIENS. My verdict? Wow.  This is one gritty movie with tons of violence and gore.  We read the reviews from some parent sites which made it sound like a corny western/Sci-Fi movie.  So we took our 10 year old. Mistake. Yes, son said he liked it but I thought it really pushed the PG-13 rating thing.  I ended up covering my eyes through most of the movie.  Yes, I admit it, I don't care for violence and gore in movies.  Probably one reason I hate video games too. Harrison Ford looks old in this flick and he did do a good job acting.  Olivia Wilde was surprisely good.  And Daniel Craig was good as someone who finds himself stranded with a weird metal bracelet on his wrist.  The premise was very intriguing but overall I felt shell struck when I came out of the theater. A better action flick? CAPTAIN AMERICA I really enjoyed this take on the comic book hero.  The story was bittersweet....

Since Live Journal has been a pain in the butt I thought I'd go ahead and come here for awhile. Here's my Friday Five: 1. Well the whole MIL drama continues.  She refused to do another bid on her condo and says she wants to look some more.  This means of course that she plans to come back down here.  Yes, we're all kind of stressed.  This is going to be interesting. 2. Reading PRIZED Really enjoying this sequel to BIRTHMARKED. 3. Just got this in the mail: Very excited to read this!  Loved the first book.  4. Broke down and took advance of the $2 Starbucks drink after 2pm today and didn't feel guilty about it.  Well, maybe a tad bit as it ended up being dinner.  What this is at certain Starbucks stores if you purchase a drink, at 2pm on that same day you can come back and get any grande drink for $2.  I also found you can add as many things to it too and it's still $2.  What a deal! Try the new Refresher drinks if they are ...
