I love the way that Bonzo (Scott’s hound) is looking at one of those pesky neighbors in the shot below. Scott had just finished talking about the possibility of Mom dog-sitting. I’m pretty sure Bonzo was sizing her up to see if she’s truly worthy of the honor.
Movies to treasure (or not to treasure):
I go in spurts watching movies… from none to several back-to-back. First on the list is Shutter Island. The reviews for this movie are almost all good. I thought it was ok — but it’s not something I want to see again. I like Leonardo DiCaprio and his acting was as I expected, I’m just not a fan of movies that are hard to keep up with. The plot as posted on IMDb: Drama set in 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island.
Next movie watched — The Wolfman. Better in my opinion that Shutter Island, but probably because I could keep up with what was going on without a whole ton of effort. I like Anthony Hopkins and he didn’t disappoint. I really don’t need to include the plot here; you know it already.
Last movie — The Bucket List. Watch this movie. Seriously. Do it now. Listening to John Mayer’s “Say” makes me want to watch it again. And again. I could listen to Morgan Freeman’s voice all day, and Jack Nicholson has always been a favorite of mine. The plot as posted on IMDb: Two terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die.
Don’t count The Bucket List as just a sad movie about death. It’s funny, sentimental at times, and the characters pop.
