Invictus

I got to watch this movie tonight with my family. And oh boy, was it amazing!

I lovelovelove Morgan Freeman and, personally, I thought he did a fantastic job as Nelson Mandela here. I loved the story and the idea that something as simple (for lack of a better word) as faith in one team, and faith in each other, can bring so many different people together.

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

"Invictus" ~William Ernest Henley

I was so moved by the whole movie. (And by the poem that Mandela kept referencing above.) But what can I say? I am a die-hard Clint Eastwood fan until the end... :).

I would definitely recommend this movie to all of you out there! I hope you all had a great day!!

Both Sides, Now

My sister and I have been watching a movie a day in order to 'escape' from the world for a while. Today we watched a classic teen flick. Tomorrow, I'm definitely feeling some Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy.

I can never seem to get enough of this movie. Or of lines like this:

You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. ~Mr. Darcy

I'm still coping with grief. I'm officially at the guilt/bargaining/denial stage right now. I'm still trying to just get through every day without crying. Things are getting a little better. I'm trying to stay focused on that...

I hope everyone is doing well.

Can You Keep A Secret? Day __ (?)

I absolutely love watching kids movies. There I said it. They are carefree, easy, and they usually have happy endings that don't make me want to go gauge my eyes out, or curl into a ball and cry. I especially love the old Disney's, but nowadays I can be made happy with anything that has the power to make me laugh.

I watched part of Monsters vs. Aliens tonight with my brother and this part always make me laugh :). It's not one of my favorites but after watching tons of Lifetime today with my sister Jessica today I needed something else to lighten my mood....

Enjoy! And Happy St. Patty's. Be safe. haha. ;)

Happy Wednesday!

P.S. Like my new banner?? My sister Callie made it :).

Movie-Going

I've noticed that in the last few weeks since school started, I've been spending almost all my free time watching movies (even though school work is slightly more important haha).

I watched Mamma Mia the other day and remembered how much I love it. The singing, the choreography, the spontaneity. That whole movie just does it for me. I can just imagine living on an island like that with a mother just like Meryl Streep's 'Donna' ;).

I especially love the clothes that the Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried wear. For me, they are everything breezy and European and all that good summer clothes should be.

I will definitely be on the lookout for similar pieces to help me make it through the blistering Texas summer ahead :).

And of course, one of the best songs from the movie:

Enjoy!!
