Thursday Thirteen #2 - Favorite Movies


Thirteen Favorite Movies


1. Donnie Darko - Each time I watch this movie, I find things that I never noticed before. It will really stretch your mind. What is reality?
2. Dirty Dancing - Patrick Swayze... need I say more? At any rate, this movie has a great sound track and a great story. Nobody puts baby in a corner!
3. Bringing Up Baby - Yes, I know its a classic and way before my time, but I just love this movie. Kathryn Hepburn and Cary Grant team up in this wonderful comedy.
4. Amelie - If you don't mind watching movies with subtitles, then I highly suggest this one. Amelie goes on a mission of trying to do random acts of kindness for others. But its the way she goes about it, that makes it hilarious.
5. Underworld - Very few movies have the main hero as a strong female. This is one of those. If you like werewolves and vampires, then this is a must see.
6. First Wives Club - Great movie. I love the scene where Goldie Hawn's character got silicon injected into her lips. Could they get any bigger?
7. Sound of Music - Another classic that I love to watch. I think I know every song in the movie.
8. Mary Poppins - Julie Andrews again. She is a good actress and an awesome singer.
9. The Breakfast Club - A definitive film of my teenage years. I remember everyone trying to figure out which one of the characters that each of us was.
10. The Life of Brian - Monty Python's skits always crack me up. Warning, this movie may offend those who are extremely religious.
11. Undercover Brother - Great spoof on spy movies from the 70s.
12. Harry Potter - This is for all the movies in the series. I am a Harry Potter addict. I have read the books and watched all the movies. I have played one of the computer games. I need to get the rest of them.
13. Pirates of the Caribbean - This was always one of my favorite rides as a kid. I love the movies. I mean really... Orlando Bloom AND Johnny Depp in one movie.

EEEEEE! I love Donnie Darko! I've found it difficult to find other lovers of the Darko. Say, have you seen the director's cut? If so, which did you like better, the director's cut or the final cut?

Great movie choices! Welcome to T13!

I enjoyed Amelie a lot. I don't mind movoes with subtitles because I can read! Life of Brian is a great film. "He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy!"

I haven't seen "It Happened One Night" in ages! Clark Gable was great in it.

Arnicare–Review & Giveaway

Image
  Product Review   Because of various health issues, I am always on the lookout for over the counter pain relief.  I HATE take pills.  So I tend to look for something topical.  I don’t want to be like my mom and smell horribly of some of the other formulas that are on the market. So that limits me greatly on what I can use.  I was just recently sent a 2.6 ounce tube of Arnicare.  It is all natural pain relief that comes in a gel.  They also have creams and pills as well. First off, I liked that it has a very pleasant mild scent.  So its definitely something that I am not embarrassed putting on and going out somewhere. Plus, it helped stop the pain rather quickly.  I was completely blown away with how fast my legs stopped hurting.  It’s a very rare day that I go without pain.  It was so nice to be able to find something that actually takes the pain away.  And not only did it take the pain away, it also relieve...

Review–Mana Potion

Image
Product Description   Mana Energy Potion Each tiny shot is loaded with 160mg of caffeine and tons of other energy boosters. As much caffeine as two cans of Red Bull® Provides 5-8 hours of smooth energy. No sugar, so no aftercrash. Each six pack contains 6 (duh) 1.69oz bottles   Product Review   The bottles are really cute and I love the labels.  I was a little disappointed though that the Mana Energy Drink logo was printed on the plastic wrapper instead of the bottle.  However, I love the shapes of the bottles. So here I was in the middle of a raid that seemed to be lasting longer then it should have.  We had already wiped a few times and decided to try again.  I was running out of energy though.  So instead of yelling OOM in the raid chat, I decided to take a Mana Potion.  There is no sugar whatsoever in this drink.  It contains tons of vitamins to help get you going.  And of course the all s...
