Oh. My. Goodness.
Well, since I have consigned myself to keeping this blog, blog I shall...
Beginning with the earliest relevant recollection, here it is -
Okay, I've always been a fan of Sandra Bullock's movies. She is one of the few actresses out there who appears to be rather clean in choosing her roles, and I have appreciated that over the years.
I've also seen a number of Keanu Reeves' movies (even saw an early film where he was announced as "KEE-new" :) ), and though sometimes his acting is less than persuasive, I have enjoyed his roles as well.
Several months ago, I saw commercials on tv, selling, I believe, the DVD release date of "The Lake House".
I don't recall seeing it being shown in theaters, but I guess that isn't really part of the story.
I was startled to see that for whatever reason, and felt drawn to see it. It did seem like a "chick-flick", so that made me hesitant, but on the other hand, there was the mystery of the lead characters living two years apart. That was a draw for me, as I enjoy quirky films, and mysterious angles of the plot.
Well, as I mentioned last time, I watched "The Notebook" with a friend last Saturday, and she also wanted to see "The Lake House". I rented that movie so that we could watch it, but she brought her daughter's copy of "The Notebook" along, and we watched that first. It had gotten too late by the time that was finished, so we thought to watch the 2nd movie another time.
As my first night to myself in several days, after dinner, I decided to watch that movie rather than return it unwatched (I do like to get my money's worth on occasion).
It started out interesting enough, but quickly became very riveting. Some sad moments were perhaps predictable, but really enhance the movie. I won't give anything away, just in case you have not seen it for yourself, but I will share one thing that has become stuck in my head.
"See you in two years" "See you tomorrow"
It is my new favorite, beating out "Eternal Sunshine" & more recently "The Notebook". So many phrases, scenes, circumstances, & similarities jumped out at me - I'm going to watch it again (I've only watched 3 other movies more than once in my whole life - The Man from Snowy River, Return to Snowy River, and Eternal Sunshine..., in case you were curious).
'Bye!
