I thought I haven’t watched it before only to realize that I already watched it when I was younger. This movie is interesting to say the most, I liked it, but I didn’t love it (sorry to 16 candles fans out there), because I think the story is a bit too shallow, and the execution of the movie is not really that good. Maybe I just also do not get the humor, but the humor isn’t that appealing to me either. But the hot guy in the movie is really hot LOL.
My sister gave me another movie to watch, the title is Some Kind of Wonderful. She assured me that this isn’t a shallow and she seemed overly excited about it, so I will give it a try later tonight.

I am enjoying this movie right now, but I remember when I first watched it, I felt so into the movie, I guess thats what happens when you get older, stories like 16 candles and the prince and me seem a bit shallow and uninteresting, but still watching old and familiar movies are entertaining and brings back childhood / teen-hood memories that you tend to forget.
So I was trying to look for good movies to get and here are some of the movies that I decided is worth watching again.
Please do let me know of any other movies (I prefer Romantic Comedies or Comedy Movies) that would be worth watching because since there seems to be millions of movies out there, I tend to forget the titles of those that are really good and funny and entertaining and those that make you teary eyed and tingly all over.
Here are the lists of movies that I have lined up to watch the next few days.
Practical Magic
Meet Joe Black
Patch Adams
The Princess Bride
Notting Hill
I will watch these movies till I am not bored anymore and wait until its the weekend and maybe do something fun with the kids, like go the Active Fun in Fun Ranch - Tiendesitas or watch a big screen movie LOL.
