Two Thumbs Up

I watched two movies yesterday on T.V. (since I was hungover a little from that Bachlorette party, all I could do was sit around--must begin to moderate my drinking on special occasions. Bicardi 151 is trouble).

Anyway, the first movie was Woman on Top. I realize that sounds like the title of a porno (ewww, Ashley does not watch those); but, it was a beautiful love story about the loss and regaining of passion, and also about food. You can't go wrong with food. It starred Penelope Cruz (a long time ago) and some really hot Brazilian guy named Murilo BenĂ­cio.

The movie reminded me a little bit of Chocolat, but with cheesier graphics, haha. Still, the message was endearing and hot latin guy sings with this amazing, sensual voice. Don't know if that's his real voice, but somehow I don't care.

The second movie I watched yesterday was Matchstick Men. I'm sure most of you have seen this movie, but this was the first time I've seen it.

It totally fooled me! The ending came as a shock, and usually I can figure out movies.

I love the relationship between Nicholas Cage and the Alison Lohman (well, it's hard not to like it). It also helps that I grew up a daddy's girl. And I think Nicholas Cage is a great actor (I'm realizing that I like narotic actors, like Cage and John Cusack).

This movie is just plain adorable, with the outer appearance of seeming slick and guy-friendly. haha.

So, two good movies in one day. I love it! If you haven't seen them, check it out!

  1. I love Sam Rockwell in that movie. Sam is one of my faves (you should see Confessions of a Dangerous mind if you like Rockwell's sleazy characters).

    My favorite line is when Sam keeps calling Nicolas to pick up his phone and finally says, "Come on, man, pick up! I'm starting to feel like a chick."

  5. Both get a thumbs up from me! And I agree - see Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (directed by George Clooney - co-stars Drew Barrymore)

  6. Hi Ash. I just saw your comment asking about how I met my girlfriend. I would love to talk about it but not on a blog. Email me and we can talk more about it if you wish. Or we can be friends on Facebook.
