Mafia Movies

I’ve recently been re-acquainted with mafia themed movies and I must say I love them again. Those scenes where the boss smokes his la flor dominicana cigars while giving orders to his men regarding a hit and scenes where this tough boss becomes sweet with his children are both favorites of mine

I don’t know which is better, back in the day when mafia bosses and their men lorded it over or now when gangs terrorize neighborhoods specially during drunken fits and destructive behavior brought about by chemical intoxication.

I don’t want to choose between these two, considering these happen not just in the movies. Why can’t people not just live in peace?

Toy Story 3

The first two Toy Story movies made me and my children (and perhaps all those who watched it) laugh hard. For those who are not young as children anymore, perhaps they remembered their childhood years and the toys that go with it.

My children identified the good and the bad in the movies and cheered when the toys triumphed over all things they went through together.

I asked my two children then, if they wanted to watch Toy Story 3 and they haven’t said “yes” because they worry about the expenditures we would have because the movie is in 3D which means it is going to be more expensive. Anyway, we will probably wait for the DVD version of the movie so that the kids can watch this movie again and again. And again until they memorize the lines, like what they do with their other favorite movies.

In this day of hand-held game consoles and computer games, it is difficult to accept that more and more children do not play with toys anymore. Sure, there are those who still play outdoors, with friends, real people, but society seems to categorize them as children whose families do not have the means to give them toys to play with, hence they just spend time with playmates. Duh.

To those who still play with toys and play with playmates and friends, may your tribes increase and your creativity developed better.

Let’s Watch

I have heard a lot of good things about Samsung HDTV and we are keeping our eye on one at the same time hoping the budget will make us to get it soon.

This would be a great tool to watch some of my favorite tv series, plus the kids’ favorite movies too. I have new favorite shows now and I get to watch them DVD or through online links. I am not satisfied though with the latter even if my laptop has great audio (not unlike hubby’s netbook, 😀 )

Now bring on the popcorn and the drinks! 🙂 We still have a lot of unwatched files waiting to be played.

What is Your Favorite Romantic Movie?

With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, almost everyone is talking about love, love and love.

We see red and pink decorations in the malls. There are many items on sale (as if one can hear “Buy Me! Buy Me!”) that are geared towards this day of hearts like personal items, concert tickets, pillar candles to add romance on the dining table, and even edible underpants 😀

I have decided to ask this question to prep us up for the coming Hearts Day:

What are your favorite romantic movies of all time?
