Arrival - This is the one starring Amy Adams about aliens coming to Earth. I thought this movie was pretty good. I didn't love it.
Fences - Starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. This is the one we didn't get to see! The acting in the trailers looks AMAZING though, and I'll see this one once it's available via Redbox.
Hacksaw Ridge - This is the WWII one directed by Mel Gibson. I liked the story, and I thought some of the acting was really great, but I'm sad to say I didn't love the movie. I loved parts of it though.
Hell or High Water - This one was great! I had known nothing about this one before I saw it (except that it looked like a cowboy movie and it starred Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges), and I really enjoyed it. It doesn't have my vote for Best Picture, but I'm really glad I saw it.
Hidden Figures - AMAZING!!! Loved it, loved it, loved it. The acting was amazing, the story was amazing... just everything. I hope this one brings home some awards! Loved it. Go see this one!! It's sooo good.
La La Land - This one was super fun and amazing, and I think it's going to take home Best Picture. It doesn't get MY vote for Best Picture, but I think it will win because Holly wood loves movies about Holly wood. I absolutely did love this movie though, and I'm rooting for Emma Stone to win Best Actress.
Lion - This one has my vote for Best Picture!! I LOOOOOOOVED this movie. Seriously, go see this one. Just see it. You won't regret it. I'm totally rooting for Dev Patel to win Best Supporting Actor, and I hope this one takes home Best Picture (even though I think La La Land will take it....).
Manchester by the Sea - Casey Affleck was AWESOME in this, and I hope he takes home Best Actor. Such an incredibly heartbreaking movie though... Don't see it unless you want to be sad. We had to watch some Parks and Rec after this to cheer up, because it is super upsetting. But, the acting was amazing.
Moonlight - This movie was absolutely awesome, and super powerful. This is my 2nd choice for Best Picture (behind Lion, even though I think La La Land will take it...). The acting was amazing, the story was amazing... it was really great.
So, that will be our evening! We spent the weekend doing a LOT of house projects... Yesterday I painted our guest room (my gosh I'm sore today...), and today we pulled up the carpet in the guest room!! We aren't done with pulling up the staples, etc in the floors, but we think the hardwoods will look good once we get the staples out and clean them up a bit. They seem to be in pretty good shape (unlike the hardwood floors in my office that took us MONTHS to clean up)!! I'll give you a little sneak-peek of the floors, and some pictures of the guest room "before". The "after" pictures will have to wait until we finish up next weekend!!
Here's a "before" picture! White walls and VERY green carpet!! This room has been driving us nuts since we moved in...
Here's Kevin cutting the super green carpet to rip it up! And it's a bit of a sneak-peek of the painted walls... It's kind of a grey-beige color. The lighting isn't great in this picture...
A little peak at our floors that were hiding under the carpet!!
Oh, and apparently it's Spring? We have flowers blooming in our yard! Weird... It was 70 degrees yesterday and the day before, but then this morning it was 30 degrees and only got to the 40s. So... I do not know what is going on. Poor Mother Nature is having a breakdown.
Pretty purple flowers!!
