The Hurt Locker - This movie was the winner of a ton of Oscars this year, and now I know why. It's so much better than the previews and clips that I'd seen which frankly, didn't entice me to the movie. I just wanted to watch something with Peter, and I knew he'd be into it, since he plays war games on XBox. We were glued to the screen. It's about a team of soldiers who diffuse bombs in Iraq. And although the scenes from the previews and clips are there, the story as a whole is so much better. This was more than worth the price of the rental.
Leap Year - I fell asleep, but didn't care. What I wanted to be a sharp edgy little modern movie was slow and painful. Amy Adams is a great actress, but I didn't like her wardrobe, didn't like the male leads, and the dialog was non-existent. Here is a case where the previews were so much better than the movie itself. This was worth negative the price of rental, so on both I came out ahead because The Hurt Locker was so great.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
