I have dreamed of authoring a children's book with beautiful water color paintings. I did write a quick, silly story for my children and nieces and nephews this Christmas but did not put the time into the sketches they were quick and colorful but not beautiful. Ah well, that Miss Potter movie will cause me to dream about painting some more!

Hushpuppy stole my heart :-) <br /><br />I would suggest "Lars and the Real Girl" and "Phoebe in Wonderland." Patricia Clarkson is amazing in both. Phoebe is played by Elle Fanning, Dakota's little sis - and in my opinion the more talented of the two. Speaking of Dakota Fanning... "Man on Fire" Love. Love. Love.

I resented that those were in there as it prevented me from sharing it with my daughter years ago.

Love everything about it: the story of her life (even if at times inaccurate, so I've heard), the literary/artistic themes, the 'woman ahead of her time' theme, the love theme.<br /><br /> I will never watch Slumdog again. Just can't stomach what the "bad guys" do to the children. It's too painful and horrible to watch.<br /><br />Love The Help. It touches me deeply since I came from a southern family and witnessed some of the civil rights struggles up close as a little girl.<br /><br />My husband and I adore 'Waking Ned Devine,' set in Ireland. It is so clever and witty and gorgeous scenery!<br />Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904720480659460554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-13309867675862233972014-01-04T13:18:13.474-06:002014-01-04T13:18:13.474-06:00(-: (-: (-: Smiley much?(-: (-: (-: Smiley much?Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059289426772353330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-20666361989282775072014-01-04T13:03:15.395-06:002014-01-04T13:03:15.395-06:00Lord of the Rings comments are almost as controver...Lord of the Rings comments are almost as controversial as mustard and swimming babies (-:<br /><br />But on this weekend of Packers freezing against 49ers freezing, I will just say that LOTR and I are friends forever (-:<br /><br />But I am with you on vampire and zombie things.

I couldn't come up with my favorites for the past 10 years without looking at what was released during that time period. It's time to put the Christmas DVDs away and, much like the decorations and the music, it makes me sad. Don't tell anyone, but I may break out Love Actually or The Holiday sometime this summer. :)<br /><br />Two of my recent faves are Philomena and Saving Mr. Banks. Both are highly recommended!<br /><br />Mary ZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
