Sneak Peek Sunday: Cinematic! Ecstatic
I bring you…The Rack O’ Movies:

And, because I know I would be curious as to the actual titles resting within said movie rack (and am of course curious to know what movies rest in YOURS. Ahem. Cough, cough.), a closer look (and yes I alphabetize my movies in the rack. And, somewhat sadly, no, I did not alphabetize them just for the pictures. I am just that anal, ALWAYS.

Movie Rack Trivia: The Pagemaster was one of the few movies I saw in the theater with my dad. It’s also probably the only movie starring Maculay Culkin that I can still watch without wanting him to be mute.
Wherein I Feel The Need To Defend Myself Against An Invisible (Probably Non-Existent; Unless, That Is, You Are Siding With Chris) Attack Against One Of My Favorites: The Mummy is honestly a really! good movie. I know probably none of you believe me, but I’m telling you! It’s funny! And well-written! And stars Rachel Weisz!
If you don’t believe me, you should rent it. If you don’t laugh at least ten times, you just might be a mummy.

I have seen Ferngully, I love the movie Anastasia (the cartoon version) and The Mummy is one of my all time favorites…it is hilarious.
Though I am disappointed that among your collection isn’t a copy of A Knight’s Tale…
:)

Kassi, THANK you. It makes me warm and fuzzy inside to know I am not alone in thinking The Mummy hilarious. And, I have indeed seen A Knight’s Tale, but I’ll be honest: That lass, the love-interest of Mr. Ledger? She SCARED me, what with all the feathers and bright colored dresses and what not. ;) But yes, I agree: pretty funny, indeed.
Anastasia! and Pagemaster! *sigh* I love you! :) And yes! The Mummy is a good movie!
LOL We actually just had a huge discussion over movies at my house. Stephen ended up separating his “cool” movies from my girly ones. :) Oh well. I stand by my movies. Cool or not!

I love! that you, too, have seen the Pagemaster. Oh! how the geek in me just became overly excited. “Horror” was always my favorite book. He’s so cute, and well, wobbly.
