Feast or Famine

As per usual in the spring it has been slim pickin's at the theater. You all know how I hate that!

Last Friday I just had to go to the movies. I couldn't stand it anymore, so we saw "Soul Surfer".

I don't know why, but I just wasn't excited to see this movie. No reason that I could pin-point. I just didn't want to. But I relented. Curtis was wanting to see it and heaven knows he has gone with me to some bombs! And some Vin Diesel flicks :)yum.

So I gave in and we went. First we went to dinner at "Texas Roadhouse". Already that date was a winner in my book. The rolls and cinnamon butter made it so.

As we sat in the movie I felt myself being sucked in. I wasn't even that annoyed with Dennis Quaid's weird smile like I usually am.

One thing that was disturbing was Helen Hunt. For Pete's sake--"Eat a cheeseburger Helen!" She was sooooooo thin. And sooooooo gaunt looking. Who's seen it? Am I right? She looked like the walking dead. Normally I think she is beautiful. Loved her in "Mad about you". however that was a while back. I guess she hasn't been in anything for a while.

Anyhow, I digress. I have to admit that I really enjoyed the movie. Everyone did an amazing job. Even "Hercules" (Kevin Sorbo). It is an amazing story to be sure.

So here's my recommendation: See it! Quick before it leaves the theater. Hurry! It doesn't have much longer.

I saw it with my sis in law and we thought the same about Helen Hunt. I didn't even recognize her at first! I thought "Oh that lady looks like Helen Hunt" then realized that it was! I enjoyed the movie too... very inspiring!

She seriously looked like a skeleton with skin.
Anyways, that movie will kick you back into reality when you start feeling sorry for yourself--but in a good way!
