Ch-ch-changes

I cleaned out my storage space this past week. Thank you Joey for your help! In doing so I have a house full of boxes. I gave most of my stuffed animals to a young man for his Eagle Project (Christmas for Navajo children). I went though my boxes of videos deciding what to keep and what to donate to the library. My boxes and boxes of books are next to be donated. I watched three of the movies that I LOVED. The Last of the Mohicans, White Nights, Someone to Watch Over Me.


I still love Mohicans. This movie has some of the greatest lines...IMHO. My favorite is when the British officer, Duncan, asks Hawkeye and his adopted father and brother, "how is it that you are going to Kentuck-ee with a war going on?" Hawkeye answers "well, we face north and real subtle like turn left." Another favorite is when Cora, Col. Munro's eldest daughter, tells Duncan, "You are a man with few admirable qualities. But taken as a whole, I was wrong to have thought so highly of you." Slam! And, of course, the line most people remember is Hawkeye telling Cora "Stay alive no matter what occurs. No matter how far. No matter how long. Stay alive. I will find you." This line makes all the romantics cry and all the men choke down a chortle. I need to check out from the library the book by James Fenimore Cooper. The book is almost always better than the movie!


White Nights...the story is still good but the 80's music really got on my nerves. Baryshnikov just doesn't look good dancing modern and tap....his style is just too traditional ballet and his feet point the wrong way.


Someone to Watch...This is a movie for hopeless romantics. But, I couldn't stand the adultery in the movie.


I also watched Eye of the Needle that I rented from Netflix. I remember LOVING this movie when it came out in 1981. When I watched it I was embarrassed by the nudity and language. How come I didn't remember that? Why did I loved it so much 27 years ago?? UG! This is a don't watch and forget about movie now.
