Cirque du Soleil

BJ surprised me with tickets to go see Cirque du Soleil in Tupelo. The show we saw was Saltimbanco. It was amazing! Neither of us has every seen a Cirque show before. If you get a chance, go see one. Afterward, we went to eat at the new hibachi restaurant in Tupelo, Kyoto. Really good if you are ever in town. On another note, everyone knows I am a giant movie fan. I wanted to share some good ones I have seen recently.

1. Doubt -- Meryl Streep is amazing. The woman is, to me, the best actress on the planet. I had never even heard of this one before LJ recommended it, but it was worth it. Meryl Street, Amy Adams, and Phillip Seymore Hoffman were all nominated for Golden Globes for it. It's a good, serious, movie.

2. Marley and Me -- almost completely embarrased myself in the movie theater. I had to look away from the screen and think different thoughts in order to hold my self backing from going over the emotional edge. Good movie.

3. Australia -- I loved it. It is long, but doesn't really seem like it. I feel like it is a true "movie" -- reminiscent of Gone With the Wind and other epic tales. Plus, who doesn't want to watch hugh jackman for three hours?

Hope you get a chance to see some of them!!
