I'm featuring today, the movie, "P.S. I love You". I know this movie may have been out for a while, but I wanted to share with others how good this movie was.
It stared Hilary Swank and a newcomer to Hollywood. I didn't catch his name, but he's pretty good looking.
The movie is about a girl, who loses her husband to a tumor and he leaves behind many letters to her with instructions of things he wants her to do. In each letter he ends it with "P.S. I love you".
There's not much explaining to do with this movie. It's a very good chick flick. It made me cry and cry. Of course, I am a little sensitive to those tear jerkers, but I think just about everyone can understand what the character goes through because we've all lost someone who's meant the world to us.
If you want a good movie that lasts about an hour and half, then go for it!! Especially you guys who need a movie to watch with that special someone that's going to be impressive. If you can muster a tear or two, you'll have her eating out of your hands.

Today's Feature is Happy Feet
You might find me often referring to DVD releases instead of movies that are in theatre. However, since there's a lot of people out there that can't always "go out" to the movies, this makes it easier for people to find out what other's are saying about the newest DVD releases!
My feature today is "Happy Feet". The reason I chose a children's movie for my first post regarding entertainment related issues, is simple. This particular movie can be enjoyed by more than just the children in the home. This movie is humerous and yet it has a theme geared towards touching the hearts of the viewers in regards to protecting the animals in our environment. One could say that it almost gives you a humerous look at the way a "Penguin" views what we, as humans, are doing to them and their ecosystem.
One of the reasons I liked this movie so much was because of the actor's voices who are portrayed in the film, but also because the music is exceptionally well done. Robin Williams, who happens to be one of my most favorite actors, does the voice of at least two of the penguins in the film, and he makes the movie enjoyable. Brittaney Murphey does the voice of the main "female" penguin role and I've loved her work since she first came on the scene.
You may find often, that I won't go into large details about the movies I mention because the purpose of this blog is to give you some insight without ruining the film for you. This is because some of you may not have seen it yet and you are reading this blog as a way of referral before renting or buying the DVD.
To sum up this featured title, I will say simply that the movie is about a young penguin who is born without a heartsong. Instead, he is born with happiness in his feet. When other penguins sing to try to attract a mate, he tends to tapdance. Being an oddball causes him to be blamed for the lack of fish to eat, he's "cursed" so to say, which sets him out on a journey to prove that the "aliens" (human beings) are the cause of the lack of fish.
If you don't mind watching a children's movie, I rate "Happy Feet" as a ten, and recommend it to anyone who loves a good story.

Let's Get Aquainted!
Let's get aquainted!
I think it only fair to share where the title of my blog comes from. Quite frankly you all can thank my ten year old son! We had a snow weekend before last (which is seasonally unusual for our area). As with any kind of wet stuff that falls from the sky, it began to create a puddle at the end of our street. You know what I'm talking about. Every town in the United States has at least one street like this. The water accumulates so fast that it cannot run off and creates a massive attraction to young children on their bicycles!
We were turning the corner to come home after all this snow had melted and this puddle had grown to a proportion where it was almost covering the whole road. As we approached, there were approximately fifteen to twenty of our neighborhood kids hanging out on their bicycles talking and having, what seemed like, a load of fun. As we turned the corner my son said, "Well looks like everyone's hanging out at the neighborhood mud puddle." I couldn't help but think of how catchy his words sounded. I believe there were even comments of how the phrase would make a good name for a unique business. I knew that in time, God would somehow show me that this phrase would come in handy and be quite a catchy phrase for others to use. When I decided what I wanted my blog to be about (what my contents were going to be) I couldn't help but realize that my topics are simply those things that we all sit around and talk about when we're hanging out with our family and friends. Hanging out...the neighborhood hangout of course was....the mud puddle. So I decided to take a chance. So, as a result, I invite anyone who wishes to come hang out with me at "The Neighborhood Mud Puddle" and comment on their favorite singers, actors, or actresses to do so with much delight.
I plan to offer posts about new movies I've seen, concerts I've been to, television episodes that I found impressive for the week and anything entertainment related. The news may spring a post into action regarding happenings with my favorite actors, or maybe even yours. I welcome people's feed back and comments. So, feedback for this post will be simple. What do you think of the title for this blog?
