Our Weekend Entertainment Splurge

Since we had a blockbuster coupon for a 99 cent rental and an unlimited rentals coupon for $1.99 my husband and I decided to take advantage of the savings and rent a few movies over the weekend.

The weekend before last we rented Babylon A.D. starring actor Vin Disel. Unfortunately I have never seen the Babylon television series, so I really don't know how well it goes along with that. I can say it was a fairly enjoyable movie that reminded me a lot of his character Riddick from the Pitch Black and Chronicles movies. If you want to know more about the movie, my recommendation is to head to the Babylon A.D. link. I'm not good with giving out details and not spoiling a plot.lol I can tell you this, if you like the Riddick movies, you'll enjoy Babylon A.D.

Another movie we saw over the weekends this month was My Best Friend's Girl. It's a HA HA comedy starring actress Kate Hudson. When we rented it, we were told by the employees at blockbuster that it wasn't a great movie. However, we really enjoyed it. But, if you're offended by sexual humor then I don't recommend this movie because that's what the entire movie is about! The guy goes on dates with other guys' girls to try to make them lousy and get the girls to go running back to their old boyfriends.

And finally, Mirrors. This was probably my second fave out of the three of these movies. It's a horror movie starring actor Kiefer Sutherland. I like Kiefer Sutherland despite his baby boy image and it's been a while since I've seen him in anything really good. And I was not disappointed! While it's not the type that will jump right out and scare you, it's still twisted and the ending is a tear jerker.

Even Celebrities Need Help

I've noticed lately that a lot of celebrities have been getting caught on camera with their drinking and drug problems. I was just reading the other day that actor Kiefer Sutherland has a major drinking problem and has even admitted that he does. The article I was reading even showed pictures of him in a drunken state, one with his pants down in public. Pretty insane if you ask me.

But unlike Kiefer Sutherland, most celebrities won't admit they have a problem. Still, just admitting to the problem isn't going to keep you away from the addiction. It takes a lot of help and hard work to get over a drug or alcohol problem.

An even bigger key is privacy. Celebrity or not, no one wants the whole world to know when and where you're being treated for an addiction. It's no fun having people hound you on a daily basis when you're trying to help yourself. Even worse is someone who will tell you that you don't have an addiction and try to get you to leave the treatment facility.

That is why drug rehab places like Sunset Malibu are so great. They help you get over your addiction in a private, soothing atmosphere. It's almost like taking a nice relaxing vacation, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that!
