Filled with awesome music, great acting and real dancing this movie is a classic during the holidays. I am into all the sentimental schmaltz during this time of year and this movie does it for me. Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen are simply divine and give us some of the greatest song and dance numbers in cinema history.
If they were to do a “updated” version I could see Harry Connick, Jr., Neil Patrick Harris, Lea Michelle and Juliane Hough cast to take on those iconic roles of Wallace and Davis and The Haynes Sisters.
I hope each of you have had a great Christmas day. To those who don’t celebrate I hope you enjoyed your day doing whatever was on your heat.
For me it’s been a time of celebrating with family and enjoying being together. We went to my parents house to celebrate the day by having breakfast, opening gifts and having Christmas dinner. It has been very rainy here which has made things very interesting. I am kind of tired of the weather lately. I am ready for some dry days where you can get out and about.
My friends, thank you for sharing my day and for your feedback. It’s days like this where blogging is quite awesome.
Wrapping gifts is something I am not good at, yeah I suck at it. Tonight I wrapped my wife’s Christmas gifts and needless to say I did the best I could. Everyone has their own talents but mine is not wrapping. I did use a couple of gift bags to help my cause. You can tell which gifts are mine by how they are wrapped. Soon those gifts will be opened and all will be revealed as it is this time every year.
Queen Latifah and LL Cool J light up the screen in this movie about a misdiagnosed woman who seeks to live out her “last” days in Europe at a posh hotel, living it up. The supporting cast of Gerard Depardieu, Timothy Hutton, Alicia Witt and Giancarlo Esposito make this movie a great holiday flick.
I am confused about the weather we are having here in Tennessee. Forecasts have us with rain much of the week and early fall like temperatures. Cold temperatures have been few and far between. At times we are running the air conditioning during the day and heat at night. Maybe things will be seasonal soon and lets hope we can get some snow sometime. The weather here is messing how things are supposed to be at Christmas time. Perhaps there is something to be said about global warming.
