Prelude to a Kiss

I had never watched the movie Prelude to a Kiss because I figured it was just another romance movie. Boy was I wrong. It has a good touch of weirdness that made it my kind of movie, plus a heartwarming tale of "real love".

The kiss isn’t between Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan (Rita). At their wedding reception an old stranger approaches the newlyweds to kiss the bride. When he does his soul is swapped with Rita’s. I hate it when that happens. On their tropical honeymoon the formerly wild Rita lathers on sunscreen and covers up from the sun, drinks seltzer instead of alcohol, and hangs out with other elderly vacationers. Alec recognizes the change, and later runs into the old man at the bar where Rita had worked.

Alec loves the real Rita, and takes in the old man – who doesn’t have long to live. Eventually Alec reunites Rita with the old man, and they hilariously discuss what it was like living the other’s life. They both want to swap back into their original bodies, and finally do so.

Also stars Patty Duke, Ned Beatty, Stanley Tucci, and Kathy Bates.

I like serious movies as well. Watched one the other night. All the old Tom Clancy Jack Ryan movies. They recently made more for Amazon. The John Grisham novels made into movies. I like movies that involve presidents and military actions. Air Force One and others. Richard Gere was in a good Washington DC movie. Tom Hanks has been making good serious movies like Charlie Wilson’s War. Haven’t been big into super hero movies, though the new Spiderman movie sounds good. Never a big Matrix fan. I do like some of the action adventure movies. The Dwayne Johnson movies are usually fun to watch. Most comedy movies these days aren’t very funny. Too much sex and cussin’ and other violence, like Saturday Night Live, which thinks making fun of the President for an hour every week is humor. Heck, I could do that.

Actress Alicia Witt’s parents were found dead in their Massachusetts home. Witt was in Two Weeks Notice and several Hallmark Channel movies. Also some movie named Dune. Her mother made the Guinness Book of World Records for having hair ten feet long.

Several employees at Anna’s High Country store tested positive for the all new & improved omnicroc virus. She wasn’t in contact with them but is getting tested today. She’s down to two store employees. Her friend Caleb used to work at a different High Country in East Cobb, and will be filling in with Anna.

My Christmas cards have shipped, and should deliver on Friday “before 9 pm”. Also tracking the Braves stocking cap also in route. It has already taken two flights. A friend bought the same cap, and sent me a picture. Looks good.
