Back Before Johnny Depp Became Super Weird....

Mindy's Pick!

For some reason early Johnny Depp makes me think of early Keanu Reeves. Maybe I'll pick "Bill and Ted's" for my movie. Perhaps we should have a whole series of movies named after two people. On the other hand, even though I've never seen it, this movie makes me think of my high school drama experience. It was sort of a cult flick, I think. "Strictly Ballroom," anyone? Okay, I'm just flailing for things to say because I don't know anything about this movie. That's the best kind!

Watch it with me on March 19th. Add it to your queue today!

And speaking of netflix, anyone who has it needs to put the kiddos to bed (because they'll find it boring-not offensive) and start watching "Yes, Minister." I realize the first couple of episodes are dull, but it gets SO hilarious. You will all love it. Okay, maybe just I'll love it. But I want to share the love with the people I love.

Love Always,

Amy

Corrine's Tasty Selection

Corrine has picked out February cousin movie of the month. I actually saw this at the dollars with my kiddos. I have to admit, I laughed my head off. It was the most ridiculous plot line imaginable, but it was so loaded with cleverness that I really enjoyed it. The kids can't wait to see it again. Thanks, Corrine!

Troy's February Treat

I've never heard of this movie, but I am realizing that's not unusual. Since we've been without traditional television for the last 5 years, we can't keep up. I've never heard of any of the movies being nominated for awards this year. It looks adventurous, though! Troy, not surprisingly, didn't tell me why he picked this movie. I'm going to speculate that it's because he was tired of the namby-pansy touchy feely nonsense that the rest of us have been dishing out. Watch our February movie with us on the 20th. It's going to be exciting!

An Update

I just got the January choice from Troy and I still haven't heard from Corrine. I will post those, but I think they should wait until February. Mom was pretty hurt that so many of us hadn't had the time to watch "Taking Chance." Tomorrow is family movie night. Let's watch it for January. Mom would like everyone to know that it doesn't count until you comment. Thanks to Cheri and Amanda for already doing it. The rest of us had better get on the ball.

Thanks!

Mom's Indecisive Selection(s)

Most of you know that mom chose "Taking Chance" as her December choice. She wants all of us to know that she made this choice because it takes her back to the way she felt as a child about her country. She wants to show us how she was raised to view the greatest nation on Earth. But, apparently the audacity of not selecting a Christmas movie at Christmas time has been keeping her up at night. Since mom has had a tough couple of months, and since she has just received a $14,000 rehab bill, we are all going to take pity on her. On December 14th (or before), we will be watching "Taking Chance."



On December 21st, we will be watching White Christmas.




We all have very busy Decembers, so do your best to watch these movies when you can.

Don't forget to comment on Dad's & Austin's Choices!

Austin's Choice for Cousin Movie of the Month

Watch it in November!!

Full Circle!!! Dad's Choice Again...

HOORAY!!! We've made it through the entire delightful family. What an incredible 14 months it has been. But we shall not hesitate to march onward. Dad has announced his choice for November and Mom already has December's picked out. So cuddle up on November 21st for possibly the most romantic movie of all time. Since I'm sure we've all seen it, let's try very hard to make the family movie night count this month by all watching at the same time. Thanks to everyone for indulging me. I can't wait to see what round two will bring.
