Date Night At the Moives
Every two weeks Amelia and I go out on a date. Last time we got a babysitter and went put put golf. The put put golf place we went to is on the east side of town but it's a lot better then Knights. It's clean and looks fairly well kept. It was a fun night.
Last night on date night we went to see "just like heaven". It's the new Reese Witherspoon and Mark Rullafo movie. I walked in the movie expecting a funny comedy. What I didn't expect was a romatic comedy. Although these are not the types of movies I perfer, I went with "the wife" as a show of my undying dedication making her happy. :) The movie was a very good date night movie.
I've always thought that Witherspoon was waisting her talent on movies like "Leagal Blond". Her roll in "Sweet Home Alabama" showed more depth. In "Just Like Heaven" she is able to play a serious charcter with flaws. She spends all of her time at the job so dedicated to the work. Her lack personal life becomes a character of it's own. You see who she is not as a success at work but as a failure at home. It takes a serouis change or a major life event to show them her how fragile friendships truly are. I thought the writters gave Witherspoon lots to work with in this area and she rose to the task.
Rullafo plays a great trotured soul in the movie. His ability to convince us of his sadness was ok but his ability to be shy at times and withdrawn helps drawn you in. You want to understand why he's suffering so. But it's the neurotic side of the charcter that makes him both fun and loveable. All and All this is a must see movie. So guys, if your down a few points in the relationship game, take your girl friend or wife. You'll come out of the movie a few points ahead. Girls drag you boyfriends/husbands to this great funny movie. If he's someone that cares about you, you'll see the sweeter side of them come out. :)
