Springing into spring

Happy Spring! As April begins, so does the month-long celebration of me. I'm a big fan of birthdays and think they should be celebrated. After all, without them, you wouldn't be here!

So every day, for 30 days of April, I do something to honor the fact that I am here and to be grateful for the life I have. It's the little things...

April 1: Chick-fil-A treat. Mmmm. Waffle fries.

April 2: Today's celebration brought to you by the sun, lighting the Earth for billions of years (spent 20 minutes on a park bench near a lake, just being).

April 3: Easter celebration with the fam and dyed Easter eggs with a Hello Kitty(tm) kit, courtesy of Mom.



April 4: Movie day! Feet up and flicks on. "The Dark Knight" for the zillionth time, and a trip to the independent-and-still-around movie store for a nighttime feature film. Ahhhhh.

What's to come? I can't wait to find out!

As a recovering avid comic book fan, I beg you to stop watching "The Dark Night".

(sigh)

Okay, just one more time.

Movie Mania!
Featuring the TLJ-
Roger Ebert 4-star system.
Usually, Rog and I agree. Usually.

The Dark Knight
TLJ: 3.5 stars
Ebert: 4 stars
I agree, it's an "engrossing tragedy." A great film that makes you think.

I Love You, Man
TLJ: 3 stars
Ebert: 3.5 stars
I liked it, too, Rog, but not as much as you. Yes, you're right -- Jason Segel is my new favorite guy though I do still love my Paul Rudd, too. I laughed enough that I was happy I rented it. Corny, silly, but smart in places, too.

Ballerina
TLJ: 2.5 stars
Ebert: No review online
This movie followed the ballerinas of the Russian Kirov and other ballets from youth to company. I liked learning how much the dancers sacrificed, how perfectionistic they are (even more than they're teachers and choreographers), and how dedicated, but what was missing? Dancing! They kept teasing me with brief pieces from various ballets. I wanted to see more of the payoff of their hard work.
