October is here....

Happy October, my friends. It's a special month since I adore Halloween. My little's one birthday is this month too, so it makes it extra special. For four fridays starting next Friday, I am going to be doing a Magical Movie to watch for this month. Think more magic, less gore. I'm not really into blood and gore. Look out for Magical Friday Movie all this month. To whet your appetite, here is a sneak peak.

Downsizing and Gerry

I almost cried reading everyone's comments about my dad.
Thank you so much and I know my dad thanks you too.

Last night, Anakin and I made the choice to let
go of cable! He turned in the cable boxes today. I know
I probably sound like a brat. I don't watch a huge amount
of t.v., I do have my favorite shows and channels that I
adore.

Thankfully, a lot of tv is online. Still, what hurts is
no more Turner Classic Movies. I love watching my old
movies! I have found some places online where I can watch
some classic films for free. In the long run, it will save
us money. We are shooting for April to get the cable back.

Sometimes, you have to sacrifice now for the treasure later.

I still have my internet! Yipee.

Also, today is one of my favorite actors birthday! Happy
Birthday, Gerard Butler. I like to call him Gerry.


I can go and on about him. That would make this post way
too long. When I saw him for the first time in 300 back
in 2006, I was hooked. I still am. What drives me mad,
he lives part time in New York. And whenever I see him
in pictures, it's always at places close by to where
I am sometimes in Manhattan. I never see him! I do see
other stars, never my Gerry. Sigh. Hopefully, one day I
will and even better, get to work opposite him in a film.

I did see two weeks ago to my niece's delight: Jake Gyllenhaal.
He looks just the same in person. He is adorable.

If anyone knows of any sites where you can watch classic
movies online for free, please let me know. I found three places,
so far. I know there has to be more out there.

Have a Happy Weekend.

Happy Birthday Gerry

Okay, where can I start with my adored Scottish honey. Yes I do call ,Gerard Butler, Gerry because we have that kind of relationship. We go way back to 2006. So I was with my friends and we went to see 300. I kept thinking who is this actor playing Leonidas? Where did they find this man? Who is he? Why oh why can't I be in a movie with him? After 300, I was on a mission to see every movie Gerry did. I almost have. So I'm pretty much Gerry mad.

Gerry turns 39 today. Your only getting better, sweetheart!! Best Gerry movies? All of them. Okay, let me try to exercise some restraint. I have whittled it down to five. I have to throw in that RocknRolla is a must see for a Gerry fan. I promised to keep this list to five. Here it is.

Top Gerry Movies (not in any particular order)
Phantom of The Opera - Singing and Brooding Gerry
Dracula 2000- Sexy Gerry
300- Kick ass Gerry
Dear Frankie - Sweet and Solid Gerry
P.S. I Love You- Whimsical and Romantic Gerry

Happy Birthday Gerry!! Much love and kisses to you.

Music of The Night

It is a deliciously rainy day in New York. I so love rainy days!! I'm gazing out at the window snuggled in my bedroom while I burn some wonderful black star incense. Mabel is cat napping.

I thought of a wonderful dreamy Halloween movie. At first you wouldn't think of this as Halloween movie. I do. You have a gothic flavored romance, a haunted opera house and a disfigured phantom lurking around. Throw in wonderful music and my Scottish honey, Gerard Butler. You have The Phantom of The Opera!!

Here is one of my favorite scenes. I don't own the movie. It is on my list of Christmas goodies I hope Santa will be giving me. I know some people had mixed feelings about GB's singing. Gerry can sing to me any day!!!


This is a long clip. Get comfortable; Pour yourself a glass of sparkling apple cider or wine. Enjoy.

Be The Hero of Your Own Story

I treated myself to Nim's Island today. Yes, I was the only adult without a kid in the audience. No matter, I really enjoyed the movie. It was a sweet film that made me smile and laugh. Abigail, Jodie and, my sweetie pie, Gerard all shine. I especially love the animals in it: Fred the Lizard, Selkie the Sea Lion and Galileo the pelican. The message of the film is you can be a hero in your own life. Courage is always there waiting for us to use. It is true we are all so much more amazing than we give ourselves credit for.
Also,tomorrow is the Full Moon. So if you feel the urge to dance under the moonlight, be daring and kick up your heels, this is the weekend to do so. Have a wonderful weekend.
