Alpha Dog

So, I've been sick most of the week and I've had the opportunity to watch many movies in between my daily dose of wedding television shows. One movie I watched really had an impact on my life. The movie Alpha Dog. I was a little skeptical because Justin Timberlake was in it, but when I asked Murad about it, he said, "it's messed up. It'll make you sad, but you should watch it." He was right. I guess the hardest part was that 95% of the movie was true (there was like some threesome pool scene that wasn't true). It really made me sad for the future of our youth. It just goes to show that you can move your kids to the lily-white suburbs, but you're never far enough from drugs and ultimately peer pressure. I won't give too much away, but if you can google "Jesse James Hollywood" and you'll get what the story is about. So sad.
Since I had a lot of time to watch movies, I also got to see a lot of previews. I now have a new movie that I can't wait to see. The Other Boleyn Girl. My friend Ashley Post introduced me to the book back in 2005 and I loved it. I could not put it down! I absolutely loved the author's writing style and I'm always a sucker for historical fiction. So, when I saw that the movie was coming out on February 29th, 2007, I got very excited. On top of that, Scarlett Johansen and Natalie Portman are starring in it.
Another movie I've been wanting to see is Atonement. I really would like to read the book first, but I know that probably won't happen. Atonement is still on my list. If anyone would like to go see it, please hit me up!!!
