6. Blue Valentine (2010) movies seen in 2013 You Always Hurt the One You Love scene “I didn’t want to be somebody’s husband and I didn’t want to be somebody’s dad, that wasn’t my goal in life. But somehow it was. I work so I can do that.” ~ Dean I cannot seem to shake this film since watching it this week, I feel as if the characters and the story have embedded themselves underneath my skin and are floating around in my bloodstream, still prickling my emotions and making me feel a little bit raw. Part of me wants … Continue reading Tell me how I should be :: Blue Valentine

5. Blazing Saddles (1974) movies seen in 2013 “The Waco Kid” introduction scene Blazing Saddles theme song :: Frankie Laine One of the things I absolutely love about my husband is his sense of humor, and that he can make me laugh easily, and does make me laugh at least once a day. I also love his love of music, movies, and musicals. Blazing Saddles is his favorite movie, and one that he is quick to quote, especially if said quotes come from “The Waco Kid“, the character he would love to reprise if they ever do make the rumored … Continue reading Is that a ten-gallon hat or are you just enjoying the show? :: Blazing Saddles

4. Beginners (2010) movies seen in 2013 “We are the same” scene. Beginners Theme Suite :: Roger Neill, Dave Palmer and Brian Reitzell Unconventional love stories with flawed and very real characters are my favorite love stories. I am also quite fond of honest takes on love, friendship and family (family in a broad spectrum sense, be it genetic families or families of choice). Even if, at times, a story hits on personal pain or recognizable flaws that are hard to watch, I still find myself drawn to these stories. Beginners has all of that, and though I felt myself … Continue reading You’ve lost so much. What if I can’t make up for that? :: Beginners

2. Ruby Sparks (2012) movies seen in 2013 Ca Plane Pour Moi :: Plastic Bertrand I knew pretty quickly that Ruby Sparks would wind up on my list of favorite movies. There is something so me in this film, so what I love, so in my movie loving wheelhouse. My oldest daughter, who watched it with me, said pretty much the same thing to me as it ended, that it was very much a “me movie“, especially the writer part of who I am. I could not agree more. There were parts of this movie that reminded me of Eternal … Continue reading Have we met? :: Ruby Sparks

I have cheered the uncheerable :: ParaNorman

lyriquediscorde

1. ParaNorman (2012) movies seen in 2013 Season of the Witch :: Donovan My first movie of the year was a family movie night choice, ParaNorman, an animated film from the makers of Coraline. As with most “zombie” films, this one came equipped with social commentary, this time on the appreciation of being “different”, as a town is held captive by a witch’s curse (a young girl accused years ago of being a witch and executed). Norman is the boy who can talk to the dead, who is an outcast much like the witch from long ago, but is also … Continue reading I have cheered the uncheerable :: ParaNorman
