Cider House Rules

I have wanted to see this movie for a long time. I really didn't know anything about it but I heard it was good. The story is set in Maine in an orphanage. Michael Kane is the doctor and also helps run the orphanage. Many women come to him for help or to give up their babies.Toby Maguire is an orphan who has grown up helping the doctor and has gradually learned to be a doctor himself. At some point he decides to go out and see the world.  He works on an apple farm and meets a beautiful girl played by Charlize Theron. They fall in love and he is happy for awhile, but then things start to go down hill. I really enjoyed this movie and I have always been a great fan of Toby Maguire, I think he was perfect for the role. Charlize Theron is really good too but for some reason it is hard for me to see them together as a couple.

Lincoln and Argo

Movies, Movies, Movies, where would we be without them? Not sure about you but I would be depressed! I recently saw the movies Lincoln and Argo. I loved Argo even though I didn't really want to see it to start with, but my husband did so being the cooperative spouse that I am (ha-ha) I went. I thought it was really an amazing story, hard to believe it  really happened. The characters were so convincing, and the cast had many of my favorites in it. And Lincoln, oh wow, Daniel Day Lewis took my breath away! I never once thought I was watching an actor, he  really was Abraham Lincoln. The movie is a little slow but I so love anything historical so I enjoyed it. I loved Sally Fields too, very convincing as Mary Lincoln.
