I saw Marley & Me and this review will reveal the end of the movie so if you do not want to know what happens DO NOT read this!!!!! Thanks

First of all, THANK YOU!!! You aren't a wimp who decided not to read this! You did decide to read this and good for you. So be forewarned that if you haven't seen this, when you do; BRING YOUR TISSUES!!!!!!! It is no shocker that the dog does die and it is not a quick death. It is a dramatic, dragged, & depressing! In our family we are 4 for 4 on crying. I cried, my dad cried (hi dad), elyse cried (hi elyse), & my mom cried (hi mom). Please don't get on my case for my capitalization errors. I don't do that on purpose but this is not an essay and I like making this blog as natural as possible and capitalization  is not natural for me unless it's school. So besides the death this is a fantastic movie. Now I'm aware that this movie is rated PG but that is b***s***.  You see I can curse but I will beep it out for the kids. So back to it's MPAA rating. It shouldn't be rated PG! There is a line where the 3rd kid is born, their first kid said, "Daddy says that the baby's name is Whoops". I think everyone knows what that means. But I am aware that is hidden humor but they do flat out say Sex. They talk about having it. It should simply not be a kids movie. 

Curious Case of Benjamin Button is possibly the deepest & longest movie I've seen in theaters! I said in theaters because I saw Titanic at home and I know dang well that if I've said that is was the deepest & longest movie I have seen, I would get 50 emails asking me if I'd seen Titanic so that is the theaters part. As you know, I hate uneven running times. At Phipps (including previews) it was exactly 2 hours and 59 minutes. That is long and cruel. 1 G/d dang minute. But the movie is pretty much what the commercial says it is. Simple but complicated plot. I love it. It is a man that lives live backwards. It is also about accepting changes in your life. Thank you Zadey (Mickey Steinberg) for your insights. That last sentence was something the 2 of us had a nice conversation about after the movies. Oh that was fun. We saw the movie & had dinner. Oh sorry, I have ADD. I have wellbutrin though. I take it every day. EVERY DAY MOM! Okay, almost every day. So I highly suggest these two movies and happy end of the holiday season. YAY! I know everyone likes that time but it's just too corny. I promise I'll be posting soon!
