No Thanksgiving
Tuesday night I watched School of Rock (2003). "Down and out rock star Dewey Finn (Jack Black) gets fired from his band, and he faces a mountain of debts and depression. He poses as his friend and takes a job as a 4th grade substitute teacher at an uptight private school where his attitude and hijinx have a powerful effect on his students. He also meets Zack, a 10-year-old guitar prodigy, who could help Dewey win a "battle of the bands" competition, which would solve his financial problems and put him back in the spotlight."
Today I went to the theatre with Busty and her friend Dina from Canada to see Alexander (2004). "Conquering 90% of the known world by the age of 25, Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell) led his armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years. Coming out of tiny Macedonia, Alexander led his armies against the mighty Persian Empire, drove west to Egypt, and finally made his way east to India. This film will concentrate on those eight years of battles, as well as his relationship with his boyhood friend and battle mate, Hephaestion (Jared Leto). Alexander died young, of illness, at 33. Alexander's conquests paved the way for the spread of Greek culture (facilitating the spread of Christianity centuries later), and removed many of the obstacles that might have prevented the expansion of the Roman Empire. In other words, the world we know today might never have been if not for Alexander's bloody, yet unifying, conquest." Anthony Hopkins stars as old Ptolmey, the narrator and Val Kilmer is
Philip (Alexander's step-dad) and Angelina Jolie is Olympias (Alexander's mom).
Tonight I saw Cheaper by the Dozen (2003). "The Bakers, a family of 12, move from small-town Illinois to the big city after Tom Baker (Steve Martin) gets his dream job to coach his alma mater's football team. Meanwhile, his wife (Bonnie Hunt) also gets her dream of getting her book published. While she's away promoting the book, Tom has a hard time keeping the house in order while at the same time coaching his football team, as the once happy family starts falling apart." Hilary Duff stars as one of the kids.
