mondays and movies

So exhausted I hate Mondays, but tonight is a special Monday. Tonight there is a free preview of Choke. I love movies, but I hate movie theaters. Something about breathing someone else's air for 90 mins makes me hyperventilate. But I plan to suck it up and put my cell phone on silent so that I can enjoy one of my favorite books on the big screen. I usually hate "book turned movie" films. But if the adaptation of Fight Club was any near indication about how both book and movie could be spectacular in their own right I will be head over heels. I mean look at the movie poster below- how can you not get excited!

Another movie I just found out that is going to be released and was based on what I refer to as "junk food for my brain" is Confessions of a Shopaholic. This is also a fav book of mine and the only reason I am excited to see it, but in the comfort of my own home, is that Isla Fisher is playing the lead character Rebecca Bloomwood. I pretty much love anything Isla Fisher does. I mean the movie could be horrible but she is amazing. She is also engaged to Borat and she just produced a little girl Borat a year ago. That little girl is either going to be a super comedienne or a dramatic actress.

Ugh, I must get back to my work day...I would so much rather be blogging about movies and books than dealing with pushing paper.
