Brokeback Mountain

well we finally saw it ....it was our duty and part of the rules so we went on the west side of Cleveland to a place called crocker park...we went with another couple Candace and John , we love them.....Anyway it was soo cold ...earlier in the day wasnt too bad but by the time we got there it had to be 10 below......and we were hungry...but of course we got there too late....half hour wait here , forty-five minute wait there...so we ran to subway and ate quickly...ran back for the movie. The theater was packed....i was trying not to get pissy. when i go see a movie , especially one i want to see, i like to get there on time....get good seats...and watch the prievews..well ill settle for 2 out of 3.
The seats werent all that bad they were down front but it wasnt looking straight up. Now on to the review, The movie was great, other than the unrealistic saliva moment early on in the film it was pretty believable . the acting was nothing short of oscar worthy especially Heath Ledger, he became Ennis and Ennis was a torturd soul, wanting to be happy but not knowing how he never could. Jake Gyllenhall played Jack with an innocence, mixed with recklessness...he was after all a rodeo cowboy always trying to tame the ride he had gotten on but never really staying on for too long, but he kept trying and thats what mattered. Ang lee did an amzing job as always and deserves all the praise.
My only complaint was that i was expecting...even hoping for a real tear jerker, maybe thats why i didnt but it didnt grab me and make me weep like i wanted it to. but all in all a wonderful movie...its a shame we still live in times of ignorance and prejudice, but im not going to get into that...anyway its a monumental picture and deserves at the very least an open mind and open heart, because no matter how you look at it its a story of love and nothing is more powerful than that.

"Happy....oh forget it"

Well the holidays have come and gone thank goodness...for some reason i was soooo stressed out this year and thats never happened before. There was a lot of uneccesary crap going on !!!!!...but all in all i had a good time.We all got what we wanted from santa..well cortney wanted some things that he couldnt have but he dealt with it. We hosted christmas...Preston and I, we cooked and entertained his entire family ..it went really well. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We made some appearences at friends houses and this past week was just a chill week , we had the boys ( cortneys cousins james and jeremy) overnight a few times which was good. But now that its all over i can try to keep a regular schedule on this blog and also try to get more work for myself...im kinda talented you know.
