Why Did I Get Married Too – a trailer

I cannot lie – Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married” didn’t do much for me. But there’s something that can be learned from any media that resounds with an audience so I’m willing to give this story another try. The trailer for “Why Did I Get Married Too” looks like they’ve upped the drama quotient to make it more of an attention grabber http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810073266/video/16504116 . I will probably watch when it comes out next April.

Update: Nov. 19, wee hours.

I taped Janet’s interview on ABC tonight but haven’t watched it yet. I rarely turn on the tv at night because this is my writing, research, school work time. If I don’t have anything recorded then I watch centric at breakfast (but everyone else I know watches cnn or msnbc or fox). I’m not apolitcal or clueless about current events I just glean my info in different ways.

Public Enemies (Review)

Runtime: 140 min

Director: Michael Mann

The IMDB user rating average is 7.7/10. My rating – 6.7/10.

We ended up watching Public Enemies after we tried to get into a showing of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince but it was sold out. I realized then that should have ordered my tickets online ahead of time, but I didn’t have my thinking cap on so like a ‘dumas’ I thought we could just roll up to the window and get tickets  – however, apparently not. Gangster movies are not my genre of choice but I was open minded because Johnny Depp is in it – and anyway since gangster movies are such a significant influence on American pop culture, I figured it couldn’t hurt to watch as part of my ongoing “understanding cultural influences” project.
