Hooray For Hollywood

Hello, I hope your having a good weekend! I'm looking forward to the Oscars show, even though I have not seen any of the movies that are nominated this year, I've seen enough clips of them to have an idea of the stories and the actors performances. I remember as a little girl, the excitement of going to the movies, I loved eating their chocolate ice cream cones, and of course the popcorn, still love the popcorn, but now I can't eat as much of it as I did back then! Pete has never been one to enjoy going to the movies, so as our kids grew I was more than happy to take them to the movies every chance I could, or once in a while get to one with a friend. I'm excited too that this year we are going to take my granddaughter Briana to see her first movie, the Lorax by Dr. Seuss. Yes, the movies are a wonderful and magical thing, we can escape our lives and live in lives of others, real or not real, for a short period of time. So absolutely Hooray for Hollywood! I hope you enjoy the show tonight as well.
Thanks for visiting,
Janet :)

But I love the look of old Hollywood,
it is simple, yet gorgeous!

  1. I too love the movies you posted. The Sandlot is a personal favorite...funny that I do not own it. Hmm. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the Oscars. And I read the book and saw the movie 'The Help' and both were fantastic. Such a powerful look into a world many of us have never known. So glad all is well with you Janet.

  4. At least of your favourite films are on my Best Ever-list, too. "Fried Green Tomatoes", of course, and "Steel Magnolia". Those two will always make me laugh and cry! PS: the show's over and our Frenchie Jean Dujardin had a good bite! Well done for him, he's one of those "new" French actors I really appreciate... Best to you from Paris, D.

  5. Thank you Dieter, I'm so glad you and I have the same movies on our favorites list. I was happy for Jean Dujardin, he did deserve the award from what I have seen of his performance in The Artist. It was nice to also see his genuine appreciation for the recognition!
    Best to you as well :)
