Hey again everybody. 
It's Wednesday afternoon, and today is the last kid's club meeting of the semester. That means an end-of-semester party in catechism and a final rehearsal (before the dress rehearsal) in drama. I'm not really, really nervous but it is a little scary. But it'll pull together, right? Right.
Well, we watched the election returns last night. We voted for McCain-Palin, so it was quite disappointing when we heard that Obama won. Well, whatever God gives us is best, so Obama must be in his plan for this nation. We will have to trust God about this.
MOVIE REVIEWS:
Gentlemen Prefer Blonds: starring Jane Russell and Marylin Monroe. The two girls play Lorelei (Monroe), a woman who loves her fiancee-but loves diamonds better, and Dorothy (Russell), her best friend. Lorelei's fiancee's father forbids the marriage, but Lorelei comes up with a scheme: go to Paris, the city where the marriage is supposed to take place, and wait while her fiancee trys to convince his father. Dorothy goes along as a chaperone. Unfortunately, Lorelei and Dorothy meet a rich, older man with a diamond mine on the boat, and Lorelei's love for diamonds overtakes her. This is a pretty good movie, although corny in places, but Jane Russell really does sing well, and the musical numbers are not bad.
Return of The Jedi: This is a very good movie. I like how the beginning flows, how Leia sneaks into Jabba's palace, and how Luke saves them all. I don't like it quite as much as ESB (The Empire Strikes Back) but that may be because I like the settings of Cloud City and Hoth better than the setting of Endor, but that's just me. This is still a fantastic movie, but WATCH 4 AND 5 FIRST!
Some Like It Hot: (I've already talked about this once, but here's the formal review.) Starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marylin Monroe. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis play two musicians, Jerry and Joe, who witness a shooting. Desperate to get out of town, and to get some money, they join an all-women band, dressed as 'Josephine' and 'Daphne.' On the train, they meet Sugar (Monroe.) They are both naturally attracted to Sugar, but as they are disguised as women, they can't betray their bluffs. When they get to Florida, they place their band is playing, 'Daphne' meets an old millionare who won't stop following him, and 'Josephine' thinks up a brilliant scheme to get Sugar. This movie is amazingly funny and quite worth watching. (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are fantastic together.)
Well, I've got to go. Drop me a comment!

I've only seen RotJ of those but I've heard of the other two...
hehe, I didn't read War and Peace in a month, I read it in seven days! :D
I LOVED The Princess Bride too! I finished it last week. So good! And so funny! Even more so than the movie! :) I liked Wuthering Heights as well, although I thought it should have focused more on Heathcliff and Catherine! :)
