Another Movie Weekend

What a weekend! Friday night was game night at church. Sadly, I couldn't play volleyball because of my shoulder. Bummer.

Saturday, we did another prayer loop thing, where we drove around the 610 loop and prayed. God was watching out for us, as there was an accident right next to me. A guy came flying up on my right and swerved into the left lane (there were four lanes). He clipped the back end of another pickup truck, all within 10 feet of me. Thank You, God!!!

Then Saturday afternoon, we had a movie marathon. First up was Undercover Blues (1993), with Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner. Very cute movie. Next, we watched Stand By Me (1986), with Cory Feldman, Wil Wheaton, Jerry O'Connell, and River Phoenix. Also included are John Cusack and Keifer Sutherland. I didn't remember how much cussing there was in this movie, though it was very good. The third movie was Memento (2000). Guy Pearce rocks, as usual. This movie is still pretty twisted, even the third time through. The night closed with Chillicothe (1999), an independent film about some twenty-something college friends now approaching the big 3-0 and wondering what they'll do with their life. A very nice film, well worth tracking down (Netflix to the rescue!).

Then, today, I went to see Batman Begins. Excellent flick. Christian Bale rocks (as usual). Thank you Chrisopher Nolan (director). If you haven't seen it yet, go see it!
