A nine-year-old amateur inventor, Francophile, and pacifist searches New York City for the lock that matches a mysterious key left behind by his father, who died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. ~ From imdb.com
Okay, so it sounds incredibly depressing but with Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks, I'm looking forward to a good film. I love the idea of the story, but I'm sure I'll need kleenex. (As a side note, I posted the book cover because I'm nearly certain that it is more immediately recognizable). I've been meaning to read this book for years!
The Vow
A car accident puts Paige (McAdams) in a coma, and when she wakes up with severe memory loss, her husband Leo (Tatum) works to win her heart again. Wow, another downer just in time for Valentine's Day (go back about 8 years to the Notebook). Anyway, the trailer prompted a brief discussion of what my husband and I would do if this ever happened to one of us.
Me: Would you go to the trouble of trying to make me fall in love with you, again?
H: [gives me a very obvious "No way" look, then laughs and says:] "Of course!"
Me: Well, I know what I would do. Now that I know all of the things that I do to tick you off, I'd try to fix them. [He of course takes the bait.]
H: Like what?
Me: Like leaving my books and clothes on surfaces in the house, not tilting the dishwashing sponge the right way so that all of the soap doesn't drip into the sink, sleeping in the middle of the bed, etc.
H: If you know that all of those things bother me, why don't you fix them now?
Me: Well, THAT backfired. :)
The Descendants
Hello, George Clooney. From imdb.com: A land baron tries to re-connect with his two daughters after his wife suffers a boating accident.
Again, depressing, but good actors plus lots of good award-show hype. Good enough for me.
