I've been trying to watch all of AFI's top 100 movies of all time. I've only seen about one-third of them. Yesterday I watched Double Indemnity with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray; directed by the classic Billy Wilder. It's about a woman (Stanwyck) planning to get an insurance claim on her husband, without his knowledge, and then killing him to receive the insurance money. It was made in 1944 and is in black and white. Lately I've been in love with black and whites! Overall I really enjoyed the movie! It has a great script and very entertaining to watch! I didn't care for the ending; hoping that MacMurray would somehow be able to get away with everything and come out clean in the end. I would highly recommend people watching it!
After the first 20 minuets of the movie I thought, "Ooooo, I could do that!!" -- but as the movie and my secret plotting went on I realized how much work would be involved in this task! Not sure I'll be looking to do that anymore? Too time consuming! He he.
Before the movie I went to vote for our new president! I decided to make "sad cookies" (no bake cookies with a recipe from Erin Drumright--best cookies ever!). My boyfriend, Anthony, and I are on different sides of the aisle. I'm not sure how we're able to talk politics civilly, but somehow it works! :) Anyway, each time a state went to the others political party we got to eat a "sad cookie", ha! It was a fun way of cheering on our votes! I was planning on going to my Young Republicans party, but decided to stay home with the old democrat (Anthony) and I'm not disappointed in my decision considering the turnout of the election!
