The Namesake...Kumar is that you?

So I was bored this past Monday. I checked out the movies on HBO-on demand and I watched The Namesake directed by Mira Nair starring Kal Penn. I only knew Kal Penn from his roles in the Harold & Kumar movies. He played a funny pothead who was really laid back but incredibly smart. In the Namesake, he is the son of immigrant parents from India who are adapting to American customs. . I absolutely loved this movie! I felt that it truly portrayed an immigrants family double life of trying to keep their culture alive while learning new American traditions. The story taught me a few things about Indian culture. I learned that you wear white to an Indian funeral and an Indian bride is adorned with red clothing and lots of beautiful gold jewelry. It was a touching movie and I highly recommend it.

Double Date

Double Dated with Raquel & Danny last night and had a great time. We didn't see, "The Uninvited," because we heard it got bad reviews. Instead we watched, "Taken," starring Liam Neeson and it's a story about a father searching for his daughter after she's been kidnapped by a ruthless human trafficking crew.

I didn't know what the movie was about when I walked in to the theater but once it started rolling, I really enjoyed the action packed story line. I am a Daddy's Girl and I imagine my dad going nuts and seeking revenge on who ever laid a finger on me like Liam Neeson did in this movie. That is if my dad had a history of working as a secret government bad ass like Neeson did in the movie!

I totally recommend this movie. It was filled with great action scenes and kept you on the edge of your seat!

This coming weekend...

I just felt like writing in here because I am in the mood to write. I don't have anything in particular to write about just felt like writing.

Hmmm...Well I have plans tomorrow to see a movie with our dear friends Danny & Raquel.

We will probably see Uninvited which looks really scary. And it's from the makers of the Ring, so I know the make up artists make dead people look really gross and scary.

This is how the movie will play out: When I hear the scary music come on in the movie that gives you the cue an ugly discombobulated body will pop up any minute, I will probably dig my face in to Nathaniel's arm only to come out every few seconds and continually ask him, "What's going on?" Nathaniel will probably get annoyed and say, "Babe, can you watch the movie?" And then I'll still ask him, but I'll just rephrase the question and it'll bug him. I know I annoy him because I always want to go see the scary movies then I turn in to a chicken shit and hide behind his sleeve.
I am so happy he loves me and still takes me to see the scary movies even though I'll probably be spooked out for about a week and make him go check on noises and shadows.

On another note, I am getting my flower girls fitted this Saturday for the wedding. I am very excited about that. I cannot wait to see how cute they will look in their dresses.

Sunday is the super bowl and while I usually only watch to see the funny commercials, I think I will actually tune in to see the Steelers. I know this sounds incredibly silly but I am a fan of Troy fan. I just love his long hair. In my single days I would never go for a guy with long hair but I like his hair. It looks so soft and fluffy. I am so silly! So needless to say, I hope the Steelers win the Superbowl on Sunday.

I also hope they have really good commercials too!
