Garden State
Alisa Beth was right. This movie is great. You never know what is going to happen next; it's unbelievable, yet incredibly down to earth and so touching. Very strong in parts -- plenty, plenty of drugs, some sex -- but the message of living life for what it is shines through. Even if it hurts. I think the film really speaks to true life, even if not a pure life. Not a chick flick, but not a "guy film." I think it defies categorization beyond original.
If you are in the habit of seeing movies, this is not one to miss. I rarely buy soundtracks or DVDs, but this movie measures up on both counts. That is, when I actually have money to spend on CDs and movies.
P.S. I've been vamping up my template. Ok, I need your advice. Is the sidebar too crowded? If so, what should go? (I have a sneaking suspicion that I am going to get rid of Winnie the Pooh and the Gryffindor sorted badges.)

Prayer to Saint Gerard for Protection During Pregnancy
Great Saint Gerard, beloved servant of Jesus Christ, perfect imitator of our meek and humble Savior, and devoted child of the Mother of God, enkindle in my heart one spark of that heavenly of charity which glowed in yours and made you a seraph of love. Glorious Saint Gerard, because, like your Divine Master, you bore without murmur or complaint the calumnies of wicked men when falsely accused of crime, you have been raised up by God as the patron and protector of expectant mothers. Preserve me in the dangers of motherhood, and shield the child I now bear, that it may be brought safely to the light of day and receive the sacrament of baptism.

I like it but I only wish I could figure out exactly how you get that stuff to go in your sidebar! I have tried but I can't do anything but put stuff in my posts! I have such illiteracy issues when it comes to computers, especially html!
Hi Meg, I saw your post to a few of my blogs and had to stop by and return the favor!
I read a bit of your profile and you and I are both Hitchcock fans! Nice!
