movies smoovies

For this mothers day justin got me a movie... for those of you who know me... I really don't like many movies... well I am very picky. I especially dont want to give or receive movies as gifts.. I think that is the worst gift ever!! so I didnt get my dad a present last year because all he ever wants is movies! and I am not spending fifteen bucks on something of no value... anyways......
so justin got me a movie... it happens to be one of the best movies! Les Miseribles ( 1998 with Liam Neison) . have you seen it? It is such a great example of how much God loves us, his sacrifice and grace!!!! I admit it was a little distracting watching it with dahlia in the room, didn't quite have the same effect as the first time, and the last half of it was on captions since she was in bed by then.....but still a great movie!!!

i love that movie... it made me want to read the book... but somehow i never made it past the first few pages... but i used to go to sleep at night (sometimes) listeneing to the musical...

I agree. Most movies put me to sleep. But, I think Les Miserables is a great story with lots of applications. The book is daunting, and in spite of the critics, I put it near the top of the list of great books to read. The musical, however, was not so good. The music part was great, but the story line was perverted from the original intent of the author.

That is a great movie, I agree.

Les Miserables is one of the best productions ever -- I saw it on the London stage when I was in England five years ago. I cried four different times -- it is so touching. I have the entire musical on CD if you would ever like to listen to it. You can't caption it like the movie, but somehow I think it might lose its appeal if you did that. :)

Micah and I went and saw Les Mis a few years ago. When it was over I just wanted to sit there and think, soak it in. It was AMAZING. I would pay a lot of money to see it again.. and I would recommend seeing it LIVE to EVERYONE!
