So over the past 24 hours I have managed to watch two, yes two movies, thanks to the new laptop. All other TVs w/DVDs were occupied in our home which is usually the case. Dan was watching the Twins get trounced by Tampa Bay and the kids were in the basement playing DDR.
So, upstairs I went with Colin Firth and Edward Burns in tow.
Then She Found Me
The first movie I watched was Then She Found Me. I believe it went straight to DVD, can't remember it in the theater. It was written, directed, and starring Helen Hunt. Matthew Broderick, Bette Midler and of course Colin Firth are also in it.
***SYNOPSIS INCLUDING SPOILERS***
I didn't really like it. I was actually quite depressing. It is the tale of April a 39 year old, really wants kids teacher from NYC who marries this loser (Broderick) and he leaves her only to have her adoptive mother die the next day, then she discovers her birth mother who is a nutjob (Midler) TV personality only to fall in love with a neurotic father of one of her students (Firth) who decides to stay with her after she discovers she is pregnant with the loser's baby only to get dumped by the neurotic father after she hooks up with the loser. Then she loses the baby, the guy, turns away the nutjob mom and finally it all comes together in the end with little to no explanation.
So there, you don't have to watch it now if you don't want to.
Purple Violets
I liked this, but then again I love all Edward Burns movies even if they are bad. It was entertaining and starred Selma Blair (soon to be seen in Kath & Kim), Patrick Wilson from Little Children, Debra Messing, and of course Edward Burns.
This movie was the first movie to go direct to iTunes for distribution. Like I said, I really liked this.
Watch it if you have time, oh also listen to the music in it - really good.
