You MUST MUST MUST watch the movie called August Rush.
“A little movie with a big heart.” – Actress Kerri Russell
It just came out on DVD, I think it’s on PPV too. We watched it this weekend and it was an incredible “experience”. I don’t want to give anything away about the film yet, so I’ll wait a week to tell you my observations….you watch it, than we’ll all comment on what we think about it.
To date, it’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. It beat out “Pride and Prejudice” in my book.
It was so good that as soon as it ended I wanted to watch it again.
I had chills at least 6 times during the movie, and cried tears of joy at least twice.
It’s not just a chick flick! Even Greg liked the movie. So put the kids to bed tonight and cuddle up with your baby and watch it, or make it a Girls Night Out and watch it with your girlfriends!
The only bad thing about this movie is that it didn’t win the Oscar for Best Picture. Instead a horrible dark and disgusting movie like, “No Country for Old Men” won. After watching “August Rush” I realized that the Academy Awards are completely worthless for overlooking this movie.
“August Rush” did win an for it’s song, the musical score was AMAZING! I’m off to find the music soundtrack today!

And for those of us close to adoption and orhpans, it really, REALLY hits home. Just watched it on a plane back from Buenos Aires…told my wife she has to watch it soon, but to have Kleenex nearby.

Have you seen No Country For Old Men? Yes I do admit it is graphic but it is based more on the life of the character portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones. Guess I will have to watch August Rush to make a decision.

Yes, I did see the movie, I actually couldn’t finish it. I thought it was completely unnecessary and has no value, it’s the killing that really got under my skin. Personally, I just can’t take that kind of thing. Greg teases me that I live in a “Disney” world when it comes to my movie taste. If doesn’t have a princess, end in a wedding or a birth of a baby, I don’t like it. 🙂
