Noah and Heaven is for Real

Well folks, this is my religious movie re-viewing. Still haven't seen God is Dead or Son of God I do hope I will.


I really could take or leave Noah. If you are looking to see a movie that is line for line the Bible. This is not the movie for you. Minor Spoiler: There is a scene in the movie when a young girl is caught in a trap. The young girl dies so tragically. I thought about this scene after the movie ended, and thought how wrong it was. It left me emotionally scarred. This is Not a movie to determine your faith upon. Only take children that can distinguish the story of the Bible with this Movie because they aren't the same. I knew going in it was different, but WoW didn't know how different. The visuals are crazy good. The acting...Well lets just say I do think that Russell Crowe was better in this than in Les Miserables.  I wanted more from Jennifer Connelly. Initially she gives very little, towards the end she shows some real emotion. Ray Winstone's character is creepy.  Sir Anthony Hopkins lives up to his title. I would give this movie a thumbs up with 2 stars.


Heaven is for real was a little bit of a surprise for me. I really enjoyed Greg Kinnear as a father, firefighter, preacher. Kelly Reilly convincingly plays his loving wife. Connor Corum steals the show. What a little doll! As I said, this was a surprising movie for me. At one point I was so moved I started to cry. I realized that I could hear a group from an Elder home that was in the theatre with me. I could hear a couple of them sobbing. I think the movie was very moving. I would give this movie 3 stars and a thumbs up.

Trader Joe's & Copper Bowl

Scott and I had such a great day Saturday.  I have set a goal to try new things (within my limits).

We try to run errands on Saturdays. So after the general ones we headed toward Salt Lake.  To my surprise Scott was taking us to Trader Joe's.  I didn't know what to expect.  They have been in Utah about a year. It's a grocery store. I guess I thought it was like a Sears or sporting store.  We have had a couple of those open up so I thought more of the same.  Scott wanted to get Super Bowl food for or private party.   He obviously had an idea what they are about. We did get some real tasty treats.

On our way back from Salt Lake we stopped at the Copper Bowl. It's Indian food.  Best I've ever had! 5☆ way nummy. When We walked in the x restaurant went quite.  We were the only white people there. So good!
