Movies seen and my un-requested opinion, as well as other this and that's,



What the heck is that?
My idea of folk art once again!
The picture was taken indoors but the truth is it hangs on our front door for the first seventeen, maybe eighteen of this month of March and of Leprechauns, pots of gold and the fact that St. Patrick who freed the Emerald Isle from all snakes; it is the theory that he chased them away!
I have been quite prolific in these oddities of my un-artful production over the last few years of too much time on my hands, time, so they have covered most all holidays or seasons! They are meticulously kept in a box on a shelf in the garage!
On that not so true confession of time not so well spent… I shall continue.

I have been somewhat not forthcoming in the entertainment portion of this blog with my minutia of our armchair film critiques’ reviews, and so tonight I will rectify that.
Hubby and I are proud to announce, or perhaps ashamed that we have not been watching the basketball play offs of March madness, but instead have been watching a few flicks that were worth our and perhaps your attention?

The newest in the remakes of Three Musketeers circa 2011, was our pick for Thursday night and although they chose a very handsome cast it was too much action and not enough substance for me, but Hubby gave it his two thumbs up! See you have both a male and female take on these things!
The other one was last night Friday and it was the remake of Footloose circa 2011, with an enchanting cast of familiar characters, Denis Quaid, playing for him against type, as an uptight minister with a daughter, played by Julianne Hough of Dancing with the Stars and Grammy fame, who like most teens is slightly misdirected after her brother’s untimely death due to a horrendous car accident that kills him with four others of his classmates after leaving the senior dance three years previously and so the city led by her father ban dancing and instate strict curfews for all their teens…
In comes newcomer and interesting dancer, Ren McCormack played by Kenny Wormald who has been living up north in Boston and had moved down to be with his uncle after his Mom has died. He’s somewhat a rebel in this small Georgia town of Bomont, and gets himself accused of all sorts of things that he never did, not off to a very good start, but dancing means a lot to this young man and he does try hard to change things for this hole in a wall place that he has made as his home. In other words a good remake with even some of the old music that was in the original, and of course the title song…
Tonight we will be watching Hugo; I’ll get back to you on that, how about that another TRIFECTA!
More than likely many of you did see these films but if not you may want to try them with an open mind of your very own opinions; and write your own review?
Moving on…
We had our celebration of our own homemade corned-beef and cabbage tonight for Saint Paddy’s Day. We have a pressure cooker, and do cook in, and that is more often than not… I know lately it doesn’t seem that way, but seriously we do.

Any-who, I think I met my objections of tonight’s presumptions of what I wanted to accomplish, huh?
On that not too clear observation of mine with my own word trends, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
