It was a bad idea to watch Snakes on a Plane before bed. I tossed and turned throughout the entire night, after not falling asleep until after 1am. I kept dreaming of snakes crawling in the bed, being bitten and even at one point being chased by a snake (that was actually kind of funny). Shudder. It’s gave me that creepy, crawly feeling - which is still with me.

I don’t know why I torture myself before bed like that. You’d be surprised at how often I do this.

One of the more creepy things that happened after watching a scary movie late at night - we watched The Amittyville Horror (the most recent film) and if you recall, something always happened at 3:15am. Well, just before shutting the TV that night, I rolled over to Jo and said “Wouldn’t it be funny if we woke up at 3:15am!” and he replied with “No that would be a little creepy..”.. I agreed. Well, low and behold. The clock struck 3:15am and we both woke up. Of course, I decided instead of trying to go back to sleep, I would turn on the TV to make that creepy feeling go away. Thank goodness The Goonies had just come on.

“Oh, yea. It’s right here - Samsonite!”

Any guesses? It’s a quote from one of the movies that I personally consider hilarious - Dumb and Dumber. Lloyd is trying to remember Mary’s (the woman he drives to the airport in the beginning of the movie) last name. Her last name was actually Swanson but when Harry notes that her last name may be on her Samsonite luggage (well, it was a briefcase). He takes a closer look at and sees the name “Samsonite” - this is one of the funny parts of the movie for me! I can remember watching this in the theater and having to cover my ears because the laughter was so loud.

We have this movie on DVD, maybe I should pop it into the player tonight!

I have always been fascinated by dolphins. When I go to the beach, I get up extra early for sunrise because you can usually spot several of them following behind the shrimp boats coming back into the marina.

There’s a new movie out called Eye of the Dolphin - it’s about a young girl, Alyssa, who gets expelled from high school and is forced to live with her father. A feather is a dolphin researcher that doesn’t have the time for his unruly teenage girl. Unexpectedly, Alyssa forms a bond with an orphaned, wild dolphin and soon learns they can bring hope to the people of her new home.

You can view the movie trailer here or read more about the movie, dates and casts information by visiting the movie website - Eyeofthedolphin.net.

This should be a wonderful family movie. I hope I can convince Jo to go see it with me.

If you think you’ll make it out to see the movie, you may be interested in the chance to Win Free Movie Passes to Eye of the Dolphin.

Have any of you had the chance to rent this yet? My husband and I just rented it on PPV and I just have to say, it is such a wonderful movie!!! It’s definitely a “Chic flick” but it was so good, even my husband enjoyed it! Diane Keaton reminds me so much of my mom. Every time I see her in a movie, it just makes me think of my mom. Of course it’s making me miss my mom really, really badly!!

If you haven’t seen the movie though, I highly recommend that you do! It’s a romantic comedy starring Diane Keaton, Mandy More, Piper Perabo and Lauren Graham! You have to rent it!!! I’m going to buy it myself because it was so great!!
