I miss my brothers.....

Here are a few pictures of Stefan and Valentine. Stefan as I have posted before took sixteenth place in the the World Cup in France just last month. Seeing these pictures makes me think of spending time with my brothers in Bulgaria. This really makes me miss them. Hugs and Kisses to my gorgeous brothers!

Movie Reviews for this weekend

So I went to see two movies this weekend. The movie situation has been dry as a bone lately, and I needed a movie fix. The first movie we saw was KnowingThis is a science fiction thriller, starring Nicolas Cage. Cage was great (as usual--I'm a fan)The movie had great intensity, and an eeriness to it that worked. I loved the cinematography/photography. The colors were rich, but muted -it was noticeable - and I am having a hard time describing it. Cage's house was very creepy. I really liked this movie. One disclaimer....the ending is different. At the end, I felt like I missed some important symbolism, which I am sure I could figure out if I took the time. As far as the ending goes, I have to give it up for the writer and his creativity! I give this movie a B or about 2.75 stars.

Now to Duplicity - First of all I love Clive Owen and I like Julia Roberts. But this movie was not worth the time it took to watch it! I hate to say it, but it was boring, and hard to follow. And Owen's and Robert's chemistry ? Not that great. The end had a twist, but it was LAME. So I give this movie 1.75 stars or a D+ Sorry Clive
