My Life in a Box...

For the past couple days I've been on some treasure (movie) hunt and I don't even know what I'm looking for. Actually, I do know. It started Monday at Arby's. We were talking about movies, but not just any movie. We were talking about movies that touch you. The movies that make you want to shed a tear for happiness or that of misery or maybe that of triumph like "Rudy". Late Monday night I was able to get my hands on "I am Sam." Supposedly, this was one of those movies that would make you cry. In my case, I watched it and that was the end of it. So what am I looking for in a movie? A romantic tragedy.

Movie of the night.


This was an interesting watch for me again. The life and times of a dealer, a pusher, an addict, as well as a father who goes through the trials and yada yada yada of life. But this isn't the type of movie I would lose sleep over or even hold a long heartfelt teary eye. A good movie, just not one of those movies you would label as a classic. It just doesn't go there. "The Holiday" on the other hand is a completely different movie. I would label it as cute at the most. It even has those timeless punchlines random undercover people, such as myself, like to repeat hoping someone would know where it came from. A feel-good movie for the holidays.

The movie from last night.
