2 reviews: Saw Hairspray..OMG packed..we couldn't even get into the 1st show..lol..and theatre is big..OK the play (saw 3X on Broadway)no doubt was better w/harvey fierstein of course over Travolta (and I am a HUGE Travolta fan!!! Others in audience that saw the play agreed)..but he was still "fun to watch"..the lead in the movie was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She will def go places..she was just adorable and what a voice!!!! Queen Latifah rocked as usual..was cute..Thought movie versions of Dreamgirls and Chicago a tad better but overall yea a def 9 or 10 for sure..again loved the lead and a newcomber that was w/latifah can't remember his name was real good though.. Also saw the new Kevin James/Sandler one..OMG myself..my friends and the audience loved !! not sure why critics bombed it..the entire audience was hysterical..was funny..Slight Cher mention..although some may find offensive the movie..they had to "gay up" their supermarket cart to prove to gov't that they were gay so of course they had a Cher cd thrown in there..to which all my friends gave me the "Oh your girlfriend is in the movie Jan" garbage..my local friends (Other than Trudy and Bert)not into Cher unfortunately..Overall both movies pretty good..

Going to take Pat to see Harry Potter today...I have heard it is not very good, so will have to see. (I of course have the last book....yet to read it!) Pat wants to see Hairspray really bad, so will probably take him to that...He also wants to see the adam sandler/Kevin james movie so good to hear that it is a cute movie. Thanks Jan. DEE

Oh yea we just wound up seeing the Sandler one twice..very funny..but one Cher thingy u will notice that some found offensive..I didn't but others did..u will see..Great movie..verrrrrry funny..Now Hairspray was excellent..the music..the main lead ROCKED!!! Just Travolta whom I adore was nothing compared to H Fierstein in the Broadway version..my folks saw it last nite as well as 2 co workers and they too agreed (and we're all huge Travolta fans too)..But overall fun movie..u will love the lead..she grew up like 30 min from me..she was amazing in it..hard to believe she got denied to broadway role..I bet they're kickin themselves now..just goes to show ya dreams come true..H Potter we saw the 3D one in NYC..in 3D was fun..but in regular I dunno..not as good as the first..I think next up we're seeing Bourne Identity..and they showed a preview for a W Smith one ahead that looks good too..let me know how u like the movie(s)..hi to Pat for me:)

I was thinking of renting that. I think it sounds like a great idea making a bucket list. Just saw the new Indiana Jones movie. Not too bad especially since so many years went by.

I checked Bucket List and Bee Movie out of my local library. Bucket List was good overall but a bit slow in parts. Loved Freman and Nickelson. Bee Movie was very good, very funny. My daughter and I really enjoyed it. Also saw Juno, a bit slow in the beginning but a very good movie in the end. Worth watching for sure.
Jan hope your leg is doing better by now.
