Back up Plan & Sunshine Cleaning


Last night was Movie Night. First, we had dinner at Mel's Diner. It's a 50's style diner where the servers are dressed up. They serve tons of different food including the usual burgers, fries & milkshakes. This is our monthly movie night that we started a few months ago. This was probably our most successful one - 8 people joined for Movie Night!!

Then, we saw the new JLO movie, "The Backup Plan". It was hilarious. I love JLo's movies and this one was great. Of course, there were some super cheesy lines, scenes, etc. But I loved it. Also Sookie from Gilmore Girls was in it. She is a good actress. She played such a different part from Sookie and was great.
This week, I also watched another movie "Sunshine Cleaning". I really love Amy Adams. She is such a great actress. I remember first seeing her in Junebug and she was great. It is the story of a single Mom who is trying to make ends meet as a housekeeper. She is having an affair with a local Cop who tips her off to try to cleanup crime scenes. She teams up with her sister and they start cleaning up crime scenes. Of course, they have a rough past, problems come up with the new business, but they have a great family and figure things out. Independent movie & I really liked it!

Im sure you can tell by now that I like quirky, independent films and romantic comedies! haha. Definitely recommend both films and give them A's!
