Movie Review - Forget Me Not

Forget Me Not on Amazon UK
After watching Eternal Law, my crush for Tobias Menzies has grown, so I went in search of his back catalog (most of which I already have), but I did run across this gem! This is actually the first time I've seen him in a romantic lead playing a good guy (well, he was a good guy on Spooks, but those of use who watch Spooks, know what happens to good guys!). Now, Genevieve O'Reilly is a different story altogether and actually gave me reservations about getting this because I can't stand her (but it also might be because of Spooks and what she did to my poor Lucas, aka Richard Armitage).

But, back to the movie...I think I've made my point pretty clear on happy endings...I want them, in every.single.movie.I.watch. Period. End of story. Now, without ruining the ending, I'm not gonna say this is not the Happy Ending kind of movie, but it's not my typical milieu, either.

The basic premise of the movie is a man on the verge of committing suicide decides during different attempts, he needs to get a bottle of alcohol from the bar across the street (because what better way to make a hand-full of pills go down) where he also plays his guitar. The barmaid flirts with him, but he seemingly brushes her off and goes back home to finish what he started. But before he can finish the job, he sees her getting attacked outside the bar and goes to save her. They end up spending the remainder of the night and the next day together and despite several arguments and his trying to pull away, they fall in love. It ends with you finding out why he wanted to kill himself in the first place.

It's a great movie and I never thought I'd say that about this kind of movie (and it's not just because of Tobias, although he is totally HOT as a leading man!), so I'd definitely recommend it (and have been to anyone who will listen, but it pretty much goes in one ear and out the other).

I did manage to find the trailer for it on YouTube, so give it a peek!

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
