With nothing much to watch on TV tonight, I decided to watch Giuliana & Bill on The Style Network. Giuliana & Bill is a reality show featuring E! News host, and host of Fashion Police Giuliana Rancic and her husband Bill Rancic, an entrepreneur who won the first season of The Apprentice. The couple, who first met when Giuliana was interviewing Bill for E! News, were married on September 1, 2007. (Source: Wikipedia) I watched the 19th episode of season five, “Meet The Duke!” It’s about the birth of their son, Edward Duke Rancic, who was born on Aug. 29, 2012. They had a surrogate, Delphine, who graciously carried baby […]
A New Look at Life Through the Eyes of Benjamin Button
I recently watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and it gave me a new look at life and how we (or more specifically, I) live our lives. It tells the story of Benjamin Button (played by Brad Pitt), a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences. The movie is based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. A storyline summary on IMDb states: “On the day that Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, elderly Daisy Williams (nee Fuller) is on her deathbed in a New Orleans hospital. At her side is her adult daughter, Caroline. Daisy asks Caroline to read to her […]
“Salmon Fishing” is a Delightful Charmer
“When things get tricky in my life, I talk to my fish,” said Dr. Alfred Jones. Although Dr. Alfred Jones didn’t spend much time talking to fish in the dramedy Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, his quirky character was instrumental in helping to bring salmon fishing to the country of Yemen. According to IMDb, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is about “a fisheries expert who is approached by a consultant to help realize a sheik’s vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert and embarks on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible possible.” Ewan McGregor plays Dr. […]
Richard Gere: Actor and Humanitarian
Selected by People magazine as one of the “50 Most Beautiful People” in 1991 and then as the “Sexiest Man Alive” in 1999, Richard Gere still has that “distinguished older gentleman” look that continues to make him, in my opinion, sexy. He may have turned down some major roles in the past (like the lead roles in both Die Hard and Wall Street), but he has starred in some pretty amazing roles. Gere first made heads turn and women swoon when he played Julian in American Gigolo. He followed that movie with An Officer and a Gentleman, where he played Zack Mayo […]
“A Thousand Words” Holds a Heartwarming Lesson
What if you were told that you only had a thousand words left to speak before you died? What would you do? Well, that’s the predicament that Eddie Murphy’s character, Jack McCall, is faced with in A Thousand Words. I enjoy most of Eddie Murphy’s movies, so when I found this on the shelf at my local library, I decided to check it out. My husband is out of town on business so I figured I’d take some time to watch a “heartwarming and hilarious” movie (according to Shawn Edwards of FOX-TV). I don’t know what I was expecting from […]
