X-Men The Last Stand
X-Men The Last Stand is a good Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi movie. The special effects are pretty interesting.
And I can see how Ian McKellen can go around saying that this is a movie he personally relates to.
Even though I really like Sci-Fi, and I have seen the previous X-Men movies, I am really not an expert on X-Men.
Basically, the Mutants are fighting for their right to remain Mutants. A "cure" has been discovered and they don't want to be forced to take the Cure.
But the only character I could sympathize with was Angel, played by Ben Foster. This was really the only character in the movie that had any emotional depth.
Even in a sci-fi movie, I like to have some sense of who the characters are.
The scenes where the Mutants are fighting are pretty good, and with good special effects.
And Of course, there is always Hugh Jackman - who is so good looking whatever role he is playing.

Garfield 2 - A Tale of Two Kitties
First, I am owned myself by a cat, so I naturally enjoy anything having to do with Cats.
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties is a happy, funny, silly movie. It is much funnier than the first Garfield movie. I think this is mainly because of
Billy Connolly, who is hysterical as the "bad" guy in the movie.
Garfield ends up in London, and gets switched with a cat who looks just like him, and who is a Prince and has a vast estate. Billy Connolly's character wants the estate, and wants to get rid of the cat. Silly fluffy comedy then follows.
I really enjoyed it. It is light, fun and happy. Yes, it is made for children. But I think any animal lover would also enjoy this movie. Just go to see it knowing it is pure fluff, and you will have a good time.

A Prairie Home companion
I love movies that can be both humorous and dramatic at the same time. And A Prairie Home Companion is such a great story.
Garrison Keillor has a laid-back realistic style of humor that you usually don't see in movies today.
Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin are great together. They play off one another as if they are really sisters. They come across as so natural. Lindsay Lohen plays Streep's daughter - she's a talent singer too, but very different.
Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly steal the movie though with their hysterical characters, Dusty and Lefty. The lyrics of their songs are far to dirty and off-color for radio.
Even though the script and directing are really great, because of the outstanding cast this really is an "Actors" movie.
The actors in this movie are so brilliant, it is just amazing.

Los Feliz Nature Mart
Stopped off this evening at one of my favorite store, Los Feliz Nature Mart .
This is a really great health food store if you live in the East Hollywood area.
I got a few things I was running low on and really needed because I use them every day:
Co-enzyme Q10
Grape Seed Extract
Ground Flax Seed - Yes, I am to lazy to grind my own
It was a lovely warm evening in Los Feliz, and it felt great to be shopping at a healthy store.
I must admit, I have fallen off the organic wagon lately in favor of convenience. So its time to try to purchase organic foods when ever possible - again.
The Breast Cancer tests are coming up in August, and I need to be ready - and healthy.
