I'm not all that fond of Wally World, but in this fast paced world, there is always one nearby. I already have "Pay It Forward" & ""What Dreams may come" on VHS tape, but found the DVD's on special, 2 for $8! These are 2 of my favorite movies ,and I'm a happy camper to add them to my DVDcollection.
Bubba does not care for them, as there ae no explosions, and lots of talking...it's a man thing. The movies might be described as chick flicks, but I don't see why. I highly recommend them, maybe they are on sale at a Wally World near you, too.
Haley Joe Osmond ("I see dead people") in "Pay it Forward" is outstanding as a noble, socially concious 11 yr old who has an idea to change the world and make it better through big random acts of kindness & having everyone he is kind to is only beholden to perform 3 more random acts of big kindness for 3 othet folk & each one of those 3 are extremly kind to 3 more. I understand that the movie is based on actual true events...that there really was a youg'un with this plan to change the world for the better. It's an inspirational flick with Helen Hunt & Jim Caviezel(Jesus in "Passion of the Christ), and Kevin Spacey. It's a tear jerker ther at the end, but many a good movie does just that...
"What Dreams May Come" is a Robin Williams serious concept of life being Hell, if that is what we choose to make it for ourselves, just as we have the choice of Hell or Heaven in the afterlife. I choose living life to the fullest(albeit on a budget), and I plan to accept my cross over when it comes & make the best of it before, during and after the completion of the circle.
Good, deep, thought provoking movies very well done.
geeeez Saturday is gone. Bubba is already asleep & I gotta hit crashtown so I can get to work early & get off early go grab a boxfull of White Castles & a DQ Ice Cream cake to Dad for Father's day. He thinks he wants beer &/or Scotch, but I know that this junkfood will be buzz enough for an 83 yr old stroke victim with Alzhiemers. Hope to rendevous with both sisters & make it a quick lil party, he can see the 3 of us & Rex & in all that excitement will exhaust hin. Need to go sing with my Mom while she smokes a coupla cigs in her wheelchair. That will put her right back in bed after a coupla songs & cigs, as that lil excursion will drain her energy. Yep, the folks have really lost their stanima in the last few months. It is so sad, but I do what I can & try not to go crazy, cuz if I let it, their decline threatens my own inner-peace. It is pretty much up to me to flip, freak or fly or just keep movin on, doing the best that I can do at the time, one day at a time.
Crashtown is hitting me upside me face now.
See y'all 'round splashing in the stream, really soon, I hope.
Take good care, so glad you stopped by.
C ya,
