BIG MIRACLE

inspired by the incredible story
that touched the world 

i saw this movie last weekend, and even though people are giving it bad reviews, i thought it was great! 

i was biased because it had whales, kristen bell, and jim. 

i need to go on another whale tour/watch soon, they are such amazing creatures. 

i read this book over the break. at first i was skeptical when i looked at the book flap and saw the picture of the author (fancy looking white lady writing in the voice of the help in the 60s) but this book was great. so great i couldn’t put it down. plus the bonus of another journalist protagonist! 

it amazes and saddens me that this time period was when our parents and grandparents lived. 

we watched the movie last night, and after hearing so many good things about it, i wasn’t super impressed. it was so long and a little boring at times. i felt bad for putting tim through it (even though he surprised me by renting it for me :] ) some parts were funny, but overall i would say that the book is by far the better option. 

npr:

The new, long trailer for David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. 

it is going to be hard to replace noomi rapace as lisbeth, that is for sure. she really should get an oscar.  

the original movies were great, but i guess we are too lazy to read subtitles over here. it will be interesting at least.
