Movies


1.    Iron Man 2, (If you liked the first one, which I did, you’ll like the second one. Iron Man faces his own mortality with less honor than I would have hoped, but he comes around. Lots of shooting and action, as well as some suggestive humor. I'm ready for Iron Man 3!)
2.    Robin Hood
3.    Letters to Juliet
4.    Just Wright
5.    How to Train Your Dragon
6.    A Nightmare on Elm Street
7.    Date Night
8.    The Back-up Plan

Beiber on American Idol

This kid is good. The top-ranked TV show’s producers know what they’re doing. Little girls cried. (But not as much as this kid. Teenage girls screamed. And it’s no secret why: Justin is cute, can actually sing (heard most of the other “stars” come out and perform on American Idol? Eh.) AND dance, and he has great hair. I mean, what’s not to like? Hopefully he won’t go the route of Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus and all those other pop stars who became famous as young teenagers and then start to head downhill. I haven’t listened to all of his music, but what I have heard seems pretty tame. At this point, I’m giving him a thumbs up (and kind of wishing he’d come along 10 years ago, when I could have kissed his poster every night instead of Leonardo DiCaprio’s, whose poster hung over my bed for no less than 2 years. In my defense, Titanic had just been released. And I watched it in the theater approximately 7 times. Sigh. I do not miss my melodramatic self. In fact, just thinking about it makes me want to thank those of you who are ministering to middle school girls. Seriously, it’s a tough job. Thanks for sticking with them through those oh-so-difficult years.)
