Sorry I’m such a failure at life… [134]
I started too late at going through everyone’s site and dropping comments, so I’ll have to continue tomorrow =[
Anyway, instead of doing much blogging today, I went shopping earlier. Sort of. I was going to go to Walmart (unfortunately, it's closer then target ]=) to get an ice scraper, but I got distracted by the Blockbuster that’s closing. They have to sell everything, and right now the best deals are 70% off, so that’s $3.99 for a movie. All the other movies are 60% off right now, so they are about $5.99. I’m waiting until prices drop more to buy a whole bunch of movies, because they have a lot left. They are paying like 5 people to stand outside with those store closing signs! I would hate that job.
Anyway, I bought 4 movies.
Broken Wings, which I just watched a little bit ago, was really great. Normally, I’m not one for foreign films because it’s kind of hard to pay attention when you have to read subtitles, but this one was really good. The language is in Hebrew, and I’m not sure where it takes place. Israel, I think. Anyway, this family is going through tough times because their father died all of a sudden from a bee sting. The mother is a midwife at a hospital, and she works night shift, so it’s hard for her to be there for her 3 kids. It’s a really great story. I had tears a couple times.
I also bought Clean, which I’m about to watch when I’m done writing this. From the description on the back, it’s about a woman struggling with drug addiction, and her husband dies from an OD and she has a son that she loses custody of to her parents. It looks pretty good.
I bought Nobody Knows, another foreign film, but this one takes place in Japan. It’s about a young mother that sneaks her four children into an apartment. Their mother ends up leaving them, with little money. The oldest child ends up having to take care of her younger siblings and keep them together. This one looks good too. These three movies have won various awards at film festivals, that’s why I bought them.
The fourth movie I bought was Mirrors.
Anyway, sorry for my dramatic antics earlier…we all have our moments I suppose.

I don’t believe I have heard of any of those movies..
You should have 6 to 8 hours worth of vegetation though
I <3 the comments you left me. ^^
Also..Mirrors is good.
Are video games on sale too?
i have never seen any of those. uh oh.
@Paul_Partisan - Sometimes the best movies are ones that few people have heard of =]
@cutesycharm - Yeah, but not a lot. They are only 30% off right now anyway =[
@TheBigShowAtUD - It's okay =]
I wish I had a blockbuster near me
@godfatherofgreenbay - Aww =[ Get Netflix. I think it’s better anyway. I love it!
*sigh* I’m a manager at my local Blockbuster and I’m all too familiar with the stores closing. The guy that used to be the assistant manager at our store got promoted to his own store a few months ago and it just closed last week.
My advice–don’t wait for a better price to buy movies! They won’t keep dropping the prices until everything sells. They will transfer everything that didn’t sell to another store. My store just got a huge shipment from my friends store that closed.
i’ve never heard of any of those movies.
broken wings = your best purchase EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
