Olympics Musings In The Bedroom & Mr. Johnny Depp
So while watching the 2010 Winter Olympics in the bedroom with the Hubs (who else?) last night, a trailer of Johnny Depp’s new movie Alice In Wonderland came on. I commented how Johnny Depp is doing all these creepy roles now. I mean Tim Burton is great and he and Mr. Depp are friends and respect each other’s work but Johny seem to be in these fully made-up creepy character roles nowadays. My husband thought to challenge me and asked to name all these creepy characters that Johnny Deep has played.
Well, there’s Scissorhands to start with, then he was Willy Wonka, Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean. Hubs disagreed that Jack is not really “creepy”. He’s right, not really but I’m talking about creepy as in a little out there and wearing all sorts of make-up. Stay with me 
. Then there was Sweeny Todd, and now it’s The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. Then I added his character in Secret Window. Hubs argued that that was not creepy under full of make-up look. I said, but he was creepily bad there which is creepiest of all because he actually looked like your neighbor. Who knew he’s capable of doing bad things?. He makes you want to lock all your doors. Now that’s creepy so Mort Rainey from Secret Window makes the list . BTW, can you believe Scissorhands is now 20 yrs. old?
In regards to the Olympics..
Sunday’s Movie Marathon W/ Ben Stiller, Jason Bateman and Brad Pitt
Sunday was spent taking the Christmas decorations down, laundry, then a DVD movie marathon which the husband rented after he took C to get his haircut. We had to watch all 3 movies in one day because they were all due the next day, which was today, Monday. Pardon my short review but I’m really not good in writing long movie reviews. I’m better at saying either “it sucked”, “ooooh that was good”, or “ehhhh, it’s alright”. So yeah, bear with me .
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian – This is the sequel. The Museum of Natural History where Ben Stiller’s character Larry, worked at on the first movie was closing. The museum decided they’ll transfer all their stuff to the Smithsonian archives basement. See, Larry has become successful and is enjoying the luxury of having been invented the glow flashlights. Larry couldn’t possibly let his “friends” be stuck in boxes so he traveled all the way to Smithsonian to retrieve and eventually save them from the other artifacts in the basement who of course came to life after being in the vicinity of the tablet. New characters were introduced. If you have kids, you might have to explain who they are. Even Al Capone is in it, heh. Then again, Dark Vader and Oscar the Grouch are in it as well. It was an OK movie. The first one was so much better. I’ll give this a 3. Albeit it’s not as good as the first one, it’s still a nice flick for the whole family to enjoy.
Goodbye Michael Jackson
Michael released a lot of huge, well-produced videos for his hits but “Rock With You” is by one of my top favorites. Rest In Peace Michael Jackson!!
Having Fun With Wolverine

We finally went to watch XMEN Origins movie last Saturday. We never go on release dates to avoid waiting in line. Anyhoooo, just in case you haven’t seen it, I won’t give out anything. Except, it’s really good. Hugh Jackman is HOTT!
Hubs and I had an fun time commenting on some scenes.
Maturity and Expectations
This post doesn’t pertain to my son who is actually turning 11 at exactly 4:30am tomorrow morning. It’s about Jamie Foxx who I’ve always liked and respected. I was so happy for him when he won Oscar’s Best Actor for his role as Ray. I thought he was cool and I admired his substance as an actor, performer, and as the person. But things have changed these couple of weeks when he went on a tirade during his radio show against 16 yr old Miley Cyrus.
Here’s what Jamie Foxx said about Miley Cyrus :
“The one with all the gums? She’s got to get a gum transplant!”… “make a sex tape and grow up. Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan … and get some crack in your pipe … That’s what I want.” (PEOPLE)
A few days later, Jamie apologized by saying he’s a comedian so we shouldn’t take what he says seriously.
After that incident I’ve lost respect towards Jamie Foxx. I like him as an actor and a performer but his personality has reached the bottom of the barrel for me. Not everyone likes Miley Cyrus, that’s understandable. But for a man of Jamie Foxx’s age and stature to be picking on her is just pathetic. How old is Jamie? and how old is Miley?
