Second Hand Lions
and Mrs. Henderson Presents
both just made me glad to be alive, you know?
Both are beautiful to look at.
And both made getting older seem like the adventure might just be starting.
I let Jacob see both as well even thought Mrs. Henderson does have a plethora of boobage.
It was, for a good cause, after all.
I am mostly pro boobs... and anti-serial-killer as far as R ratings go.
RE: Lions. It took me by complete surprise and I loved it much. My peeps are from AK and MO so I recognized the uncles...as being a kind of archetype, I suppose. Wonderful film.
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to check out Mrs. Henderson. And YES to boobage vs. mask-wearing, blade-wielding maniacs.
Good call.
LOVE LIONS!! I guess I'll have to see Mrs. Henderson...and the boobs..now!
ReplyDeleteWe adore Second Hand Lions!! So sweet and funny!
ReplyDeleteI'll need to see Mrs Henderson now too (are there any decapitations in it? snicker!).
"I am mostly pro boobs... and anti-serial-killer..."
ReplyDeleteI actually SNORTED with laughter when I read this....
A fabulous sentiment indeed!

Your pro-boob and anti serial killer status makes you a fine movie rater in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to see Mrs Henderson too.
I've wanted to see Mrs. Henderson if only for the costuming! The movie rating stance is pretty much mine too...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great movie recommendations. I am making a list and these two were not on it. I enjoyed very much your descriptions of your son watching the various movies.
ReplyDeleteI just watched secondhand lions a few months ago. I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that you, and lots of your readers, are pro-boob, anti-serial killer. It always amazes me when parents let there kids watch the horror movies, but get squeamish over the orgasm scene in Amalie.
ReplyDeleteAnother pro-boob family here... it was a HUGE issue in my divorce 11 years ago... We don't do *killer* movies but never have a big fit about a tasteful bit of T&A and yet my EX who would show the kids Chuckie for breakfast draged me into court when the kids saw a birth scene in a movie. Go figure... and I won ;-)
