The Gilmore Girls DVD Series

I am so glad I waited to watch the Gilmore Girls with one of my girls. When it was first on TV I thought it was about a mom who had her daughter at sixteen, and now spends every episode trying to be a cool mom to her now teen daughter. I was so wrong.

The Gilmore Girls stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as the mother daughter pair. As it turns out, Lorelai is a cool mom to her daughter Rory, who is a refreshing teen for a TV show in this day and age. She is pretty, but in a classic way, wears clothes that cover everything, and is smart and dreams of going to Harvard. She even carries a book with her wherever she goes, even to her first dance!

The small town is full of characters, some we like, and some we wish would move to the city. Just like real life. And the conversations between the Lorelai and Rory and so funny, and sound so real. Of course, that is if you come from a family like mine, where sarcasm was a sport, and every family member played. Seriously, the Gilmore Girls are both good at taking and dishing out the sarcasm, and this makes for some very laugh-out-loud moments, that I imagine are even funnier, when like me, you really get it.

Oh, I forgot to mention the Gilmore Girls love coffee. My teen daughter and I love coffee too :-)

So for now I absolutely love the Gilmore Girls. Oh, I know, it probably gets raunchier as Rory gets older, but for now, let me believe.

Tuck Everlasting

tuck-everlastingdvdWinnie Foster (ALEXIS BLEDEL) is a 15 year old girl who feels smothered by her upper class and very wealthy parents, Robert (VICTOR GARBER) and Augusta (AMY IRVING).  After learning she is being sent to a strict, all girls boarding school, she runs into the thick heavily wooded lands just across from her home.  And ends up getting lost.

In the woods she meets, and falls in love with Jesse Tuck (JONATHAN JACKSON) a boy full of life and adventure who is unlike anyone else she has ever met.  The Tucks, a kind generous family, have a secret - there is a spring that they all drank from, unknowing, that it would make them live forever.

Winnie must choose to live life as she knows it, or drink from the spring.

I really loved this movie.  It's very different from a lot of movies that seem kinda like this.  And it has a surprise ending which is great because I don't like predictable movies.  The movie was filmed in Maryland, it was very pretty to watch.  I think this is a movie that the whole family can enjoy and watch together.

Tuck Everlasting was based on the book, written by Natalie Babbitt

Quote from the movie: "Don't be afraid of death, Winnie. Be afraid of the unlived life. "

Starring: Alexis Bledel, Jonathan Jackson, Amy Irving, Victor Garber, Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, and Ben Kingsley.
