My Saturday went from awesome to blah in the span of an hour. I don’t know what happened, but my stomach and psyche went sour. Blech.

So what’s a girl to do?

This girl watched four, yes four, movies. Three new ones and one old, classic favorite:

Holly and Cat

I love “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” so much. It’s quirky and weird and although it’s cliche, I totally identify with Holly Golightly’s inability to commit to anything. In my case, it’s probably self-diagnosed ADD, but it’s more glamorous to describe it away as a case of the “mean reds.”

turns out... totally traceable

I liked Untraceable, but that’s mostly because I’m a little bit obsessed with serial killers. But mainly, this movie was filler while I read through some magazines that had been building up. (I hate that!)

So, I liked Interview more than I than I thought I would, but I can’t say I’d recommend it. I have a hard time with movies that basically have the same set. And while I appreciated the twist in the end, it wasn’t enough for me to recommend it. Steve Buscemi, per usual, was awesome. Sienna Miller? Um, she was ok. I’m not a big fan, but I loved her in Factory Girl. Then again, I love anything Andy-Warhol related.

Isn’t it absolutely ridiculous that I hadn’t seen Terms of Endearment yet? I mean, I’m 29 years old… how could this have happened? To further complicate things, I’ve always loved Shirley MacLaine, Jack Nicholson (reminds me of my dad… in the best way possible) and Debra Winger. So, surprise! I loved it. I cried my a*s off, but I knew it was coming so I think that helped. Anyway, I’m a sucker for honest mother-daughter -relationship stories because my own relationship with my mom is so intense and wonderful. So I’m thrilled that I finally got the chance to see this.

While I’m bummed I missed out on fully realizing my kick-ass Saturday dreams (and missed DW’s birthday party), the very fact that I slept in to 10 am today AND the fact that I was able to catch-up on some movies that were clogging up my Tivo means that it wasn’t so bad after all.

Next movies in my Tivo? Love in the Time of Cholera, Goya’s Ghosts (holy Javier Bardem!), Eulogy, Bottle Rocket (love!), Michael Clayton and Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story (he’s my 9th-grade idol).
