I May Be a Weenie . . .

To begin, I work in a very macho industry. Petrochem and refining is right up there in many respects to upstream oil and gas drilling or offshore deckhand and roustabouts. I support and work with guys who turn wrenches and have grime and much on their hands. 

Secondly, I have a background of being an Airborne Ranger badass. I was a door kicker and the first man in the stack for years in the 2nd Ranger Battalion. I was a Spec Ops Commando. Doesn't get too much more badass than that. 

I bring all this up, because I don't necessarily like the same types of movies that my colleagues and compatriots like. Never have been. Anyone who knows me knows this. I shut down for a month or more before Christmas exclusively to watch Lifetime and Hallmark channel movies. I promoted the idea of a blog to rate and review Lifetime and Hallmark movies. Look through this blog and you'll see that it's littered with reviews of rom-coms, and romance and more. Hell, one of my life's goals is to write a novel that eventually get's turned into a Lifetime or Hallmark movie . . . anyone heard of Everyday Sox? That's the one!

In 2001 I saw the movie Amélie. Loved it. Reminiscent of my time in Paris, well acted, funny and intriguing story, quirky, and a cute girl. What's not to like. 

Now? 

Well, now I think my favorite movie (if we exclude Rear Window, Fury Road, North by Northwest, etc etc) is Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. 

Who knew right? Maybe I have a thing for cute Parisian girls (especially if they have ponytails). Or maybe I love the swings from high to low, or great stories that have a tear-filled payoff. Who knows what it is, but put this sucker on the list for me!
