Isolation

Bovine fetus' fetuses + surprisingly good acting + killing and blood = fairly good movie. I wouldn't buy it. But I'd recommend it.

3 1/2 stars.

(C'mon, it is killer cows, how can you go wrong?!?)

The Brady Bunch Movie

Yes, I watched it. I'll admit it. And it is just as cheesy as you might think. I really liked the clothes though.

2 stars.

The Horseman

In honor of Halloween David and I have been watching "scary movies." Now, I am the first to admit that I'm pretty particular about scary movies. We've seen a ton of them and they're either great, a general waste of time, or absolutely horrible. The Horseman was horrible.

We chose it because it had a known actor in it. Granted it is Dennis Quad, not our favorite, but at least we'd heard the name before. It is about a forensic scientist that is investigating a case. Add some ethos, some children, and some blood, and you've got yourself a scary movie. Oh, and don't forget the religion.

I had a hard time following the movie, or at least paying enough attention to know exactly what was going on. Throughout the movie there are people hanging from hooks. Now I don't hang from hooks, but some people like that sort of thing. It was the main shock value in the movie - not all that shocking.

I give it 1 1/2 stars. It get the bonus 1/2 star because I didn't turn it off.

Just because

I'm really tired of people making presumptions about me. Baring making a huge sign that I carry everywhere, I really feel like I have no other way to make a self-proclamation than here. So, here it goes.

Just because I'm a mom doesn't mean I have lost my identity or live to serve others.
Just because I'm married doesn't mean I'm straight.
Just because I'm Christian doesn't mean I believe in Creationism.
Just because I'm white doesn't mean I'm racist.
Just because we vaccinate our kids doesn't mean we haven't done research.
Just because I am outgoing doesn't mean I don't have feelings.
Just because I don't earn a paycheck doesn't mean I don't work.
Just because I'm fat doesn't mean I'm lazy.
Just because I don't wear my child doesn't mean I'm not attached.
conversely
Just because I don't let my kids "cry it out" doesn't mean I'm spoiling them.
Just because I play an instrument doesn't mean I like to perform.
Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I'm subservient, quiet, timid, stupid, weak, less-worthy.
Just because I limp doesn't mean I'm limping because of weight - my knees are fine.
Just because I smile at people doesn't mean I want something from them.
Just because I cry doesn't mean I need therapy.
Just because my childhood didn't suck doesn't mean that I lived in paradise.
