Have you been waiting for the next Matrix type movie to take the big screen? Well look no further as Inception has arrived. Have your drink and snack ready and try not to leave until it's over.
Even after leaving the theatre I found myself(as well as other friends) pondering how many levels they went. Great cast and plot. Don't forget your token.

Rate: A+
Buy: Theatre must see
PG-13, but I'd take my younger kids(although they may not understand the levels)

Eclipse (Twilight Saga #3)

Cover of Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)

After reading the book I wasn't expecting more than the capture of a Edward and Bella romance. I was pleasantly surprised with better special effects and a more detailed story.

I was disapointed again with the lack of character use. Maybe they will fix it in the final two movies?

If you see this movie in a theatre go a week or two after the release date. You will miss the fangirls. They ruin it everytime they swoon over Edward or Jacob.

Rate: B+
Buy: Fan - go
Girlfriends a fan - go
Other than that rent or buy if you like the book. If not... You could careless.

Yes it's still kid friendly if you're okay with your kids seeing a topless Jacob constantly.

Despicable Me

Once again I find myself taking the kids to see the latest animation. Funny, strange and cute is how this movie transpires. The typical ending always disappoints, but still stirs up a little emotion. Over all if your kids are asking it's worth paying for.

Rate: B+

Grown Ups

This movie has it's funny parts, which can be seen in the trailers. The actors may pack the theatre(drive in for me), but they didn't keep them through the entire movie. The plot has been done many times. Sad since it's a great cast.

Rate: D
Buy: Wait for cable
Yes PG13

Karate Kid (2010)

This movie was similar to the original (1984) Karate Kid, but with enough changes to make you love it. Based in another country young Jaden Smith plays his role perfectly.
I paid to see this one at the movie theatre and can't wait to buy it on iTunes.

Rate: A

A Family Quote

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Pet Peeves

Grr.. I wonder why we have pet peeves. It annoys me that I have them, and they're everywhere you go. I'm sure many of you have the basics just as I; chewing with your mouth open, not turning off the light when you're not in the room, and not washing your hands. 

Although, those are only a few that drive me crazy.  I won't tell you to (not)do them, but I bite my tongue, and gripe about it in my head.    

I decided to research a little, and found a website that has voting on your own pet peeves.  I wasn't surprised to see open mouth chewing #1, and not washing hands #2. 

I probably won't find a cure for my annoying little vexation, but I am not alone.

Good day all.

What do you live for?

I shall ask myself that first. What do I live for?

I live for my family. My husband and beautiful children; our family beyond our home and each and every person I have befriended.

I live for love, life and happiness.

Only the future is a surprise everything else is placed on a platter for you to choose from. 

I have given you my hand, my love and my life. In return I ask for the same.

Enjoy today, tomorrow and the days to come. 

Cherish every breath you take and those who breathe around you.
