MOVIE TIME!

wow lately the weather has been unbearable. this heat is kicking my behind but i have been doing so much cleaning around here and taking the kids to do fun things and at night raoul and i watch movies. its one of my favorite things to do with my love, just lay in bed and enjoy a movie (and his two cents about the movie). this man really knows how to ruin a good emotional scene for me. we have gotten into small fights over his talking through my movies. i like to listen to every single line throughout the movie and get so frustrated when raoul makes (bad) jokes and interrupts a good scene. but its funny after the movie is over. and yes i have to rewind sometimes and kick him out sometimes. but we have some good times this man and i. the jim carrey movie below was so cute. niko and i watched it at the theater with a big group of friends. our friends daughter celebrated her birthday with a movie and dinner at corvette diner. and this was his first time at the theater and did extremely well, considering he just turned two.  i would have to say every movie is really great here. even the rain is a really powerful film and if you're interested in human rights you will like it. not everyone likes films about the harsh reality of life. we like to be in our bubble of perfection and comfort. but its important to see the world for what it is so we have a better understanding and then we can truly appreciate what we have. oceans is a disney film and has some incredible shots of animals in the ocean, a good family film. and mammoth was really good too. a story of two families and how they are connected. can you tell i like gael garcia films? i am a proud gael fan. any cool movies you've watched lately? id love to hear. :)

MOVIE TIME!

here are the movies ive watched lately.. but the last two are not through netflix. black swan i got from the red box while my mom was over. we got some beer and enjoyed some alone time once the kids were asleep while raoul was out of town. and the last movie, bridesmaids, we saw this weekend at the theater. raoul and i went on a date and it was so great to spend some alone time with him. we had sushi in redondo beach and then saw this hilarious movie. it sounds like a chick flick but its not, you can totally go on a date and laugh your butt off and have a great time. every movie on this list kicks ass! and so glad i finally watched kick ass, super awesome movie. any movie recommendations for me? i'd love to hear! enjoy your day!! xo Liz

MOVIE TIME!

here's the list of movies Raoul and I recently watched on Netflix. Except the last one, For Keeps, I watched it while Raoul snored like an angry bear in the background. My favorite on this list would have to be "The Other Guys" it was pretty funny. Do you have a netflix account? I love movie recommendations. I really enjoy comedies, documentaries and foreign films, and i like independent better than popular. Independent are just a bit less corny. I will be back with a family post. Happy Monday! xo Liz 

The Other Guys (2010)


The Joneses (2009)


The Babysitters (2007)


For Keeps (1988)

KEITH HARING

another good documentary is "the universe of keith haring". weird that i learned of keith haring through a book i bought for niko. because i want niko to learn and have an appreciation for art, i got him a couple of andy warhol's children's books. this book had a couple of different artists on it and its a touch and feel book, pretty cool. keith haring is another artist who died of aids. it makes me so sad that so many great people died because of that disease. what do i love most about keith haring? his activism and it shows in his art too. once the kids go to school, i do plan to join some non profit organizations and try to put my beliefs to work. hope your weeks been productive, it's almost friday! xoxo Liz

As I have said recently, we got rid of our television. Maybe not by choice since Niko broke it, but I'm happy being without it for now. I do love me some netflix movie time with Raoul!
Last night we watched 3 documentaries in a row, and I can watch them over and over as I have seen them before. Documentaries about 3 legendary bands John Lennon (The Beatles), The Doors and The Rolling Stones.
