Movie Pick of the Week



Okay...it hasn't been quite a week since my last movie pick; however, I have a temple trip to Spokane and get to leave very VERY VERY very very very early in the morning (did I mention we're leaving early...?) so I have to write the pick earlier than intended...but you all benefit from my necessity for early blogging....




And the movie pick for this week is (Drum roll please....)





Okay, so there is nothing better than a classic! This little gem is from 1937 and stars the incomparable Fred Astaire and his onscreen lover for many a show Ginger Rogers! I will warn all of you that aren't big fans of old movies that this particular flick is in black and white- but as a die hard fan of black and white movies since I was very young, I'd have to say that the story makes everything colorful!

Astaire is a ballet dancer named Pete Peters, known by the public as Petrovsky. He is unhappy ballet dancing and secretly practices tap dancing. He also has a secret crush on another dancing celebrity Linda Keene. He manages to meet her on a cruise ship but through a series of unfortunate (or fortunate) events (it depends on how you look at it...) the entire boat becomes convinced that they are married. Craziness ensues and everyone gets their happy ending in this musical romp. The music is spectacular- who doesn't love a Gershwin diddy?!

I strongly recommend it, its fun for the whole family!

Happy Movie Night!

thanks brittney for leaving a comment on my blog and looking out for me and my family's welfare. things are going pretty good, but my little cousin logan who's only a year old got some 2nd and some
3rd degree burns last month. he had to get skin grafts and needed a self-induced coma while he healed.he also almost died three times. i would have told you sooner, but i forgot. anyway he's all wrapped up like a mummy and is home now, but needs to be in rehab for a year. anyway, if you could just pray for him and mabye spread the word, that would be nice. we don't know what will happen, but just keep that in mind. other than that we're fine, don't worry.
