Since last week, I've seen three movies. This is big news for a mother of two small children who works full time and has taken on co-presidency of her daughter's preschool (which is pretty much a second job, albeit unpaid). This Is It reminded me that Michael Jackson shouldn't not be remembered as a child-molesting victim of awful plastic surgery, but as a musician, a dancer and an artist. I left the movie teary and inspired.
Paranormal Activity gave me some serious willies. I could have used a little less shaky cam (especially after stuffing myself on tamales, beans and queso fundido at Adriana's daycare Halloween party), but it gave me a good scare. I've found that the less gore there is, more better the thrill I get from a horror movie. And this flick is gore-free. Ack!
The third movie was Food, Inc., which I saw on DVD last night. It reaffirmed my commitment to stay the hell away from fast food and continue buying organic eggs and meat. Makes me extra glad I threw an extra package of local ground beef into my basket at the final farmers market on Saturday.

I want to check out the first two movies for sure - although a shaky cam might not be so good for me - it really messes me up!!! Mmmmm.....
Oooh, I really want to see Food, Inc.
In terms of MJ, I think my husband cannot move past the co-sleeping with other people's children.
We saw the new Coen brothers movie on a Friday night date. I don't recommend it.
One thing that really struck me watching MJ as he rehearsed is that he seems completely asexual. Not hetero. Not homo. Here is absolutely no spark or chemistry between him and the woman he dances with on stage. Even his crotch grabs are completely devoid of masculinity.
Which I can't say about his backup dancers. Rowr.
