Marry Me
By: Renee Riendeau / Movie Revelations
This romantic comedy fairy tale pulls at your
heartstrings. It features Jennifer Lopez
as Kat (singer, songwriter, performer) Owen
Wilson, a divorced math teacher raising a 12 year old daughter Lou,
(Chole Culman) and introducing, (Bastian) a sexy superstar male
singer.
Kat was going to marry at one of their superstar concerts until she
found out her husband-to-be was having an affair just before the
wedding ceremony, with her assistant no less. Kat has a meltdown,
standing while wearing her wedding gown, on stage in front of the
audience.
Thoughts of love, truth, and loyalty
flashed through her mind as she focused
on an unassuming man in the audience.
He was surrounded by best friend (Sarah
Silverman) and his daughter.
Kat and the stranger locked eyes as she
whispered, “Marry me.” After much coaxing from the audience and
stage crew, Charlie stumbled on stage and the ceremony began.
Even though this fairytale was sustained by sincerity, the question
remains: can they find common ground and true romance in this
marriage? If you sit through the rest of the movie, you’ll find out!
Jennifer Lopez, as always, is stunning in her outfits, singing, music,
movements, dancing, and her top of the line sky view condo. Owen
grew into his character and by the end of the movie became endearing.
A special scene was when Kat unexpectedly dropped by Charlie’s
math class and taught the class how to remember math formulas with
dance steps. Everyone got into the dance routine.
The music in “Marry Me” is quite catchy and viewers could be heard
clapping their hands and tapping their toes. If you’re looking for a
movie to watch with family, friends, or a lover, this is it.
I rate “Marry Me” a 3+ out of 5 and think you will too. Enjoy the
movie!

You Gotta Laugh
By: Bill Caserta / Bill’s Blurbs
Top Ten Things I’m Good At
1. Forgetting someone’s name 30 seconds
after they tell me.
2. Running…Late, that is.
3. Making plans…the regretting making
plans.
4. Thinking of a great comeback…an hour later.
5. Digging through the trash for the food box I just tossed because I
already forgot the directions.
6. Adding items to online carts, then deleting.
7. Googling my ailments, then panicking.
8. Leaving laundry to wrinkle in the dryer.
9. Forgetting why I walked into the room.
10. Calculating how much sleep I’ll get if I can just “fall asleep right
now.”
My Philosophy
1. I’ve reached the age where my train of thought often leaves the
station without me.
2. The truth always comes out as the Tequila goes in.
3. You never realize how anti-social you are until there is a pandemic
and your life doesn’t really change that much.
4. As you get older, you’ve got to stay positive. For example, the other
day I fell down the stairs. Instead of getting upset, I just thought, “Wow,
that’s the fastest I’ve moved in years!”
5. As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is
impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
6. Exercise makes you look better naked. So does wine of your choice.
7. I enjoy a glass of wine each night for its health benefits. The other
glasses are for my witty comeback’s and flawless dance moves!
8. It’s strange how drinking eight glasses of water a day seems
impossible. But 8 cups of coffee goes down like a chubby kid on a seesaw!
9. I have put a lot of thought into it, and I just don’t think being an
adult is gonna work for me!
And finally: A truck loaded with Vicks Vapor Rub overturned on
the I-15 last month. Amazingly there was no congestion for eight hours.
