I posted this picture yesterday, and told ya’ll that Erin and I were going to go see “Nights in Rodanthe” last night.

Well, I saw it.  And it was pretty freaking stupid.  It was Nicholas Sparks, so I knew it was going to be cheesy.  But man, it was soooooo sappy!

I didn’t enjoy it.  Well, I’ll say I didn’t enjoy the last half hour.  The rest wasn’t that bad.

If I were you - I’d wait until it comes out on DVD.  It wasn’t worth $9.00!

Erin and I are going to see this tonight.  I’m so excited! Have you seen it?  What did you think?

Richard Gere has signed up to join Hilary Swank in the much-delayed Amelia Earhart biopic.

Aussie director Philip Noyce quit the project at Christmas, due to ongoing filming delays and has been replaced by Mira Nair.

Now, with Gere on board, the flying film, titled Amelia, will take off later this month, when shooting begins in Canada and South Africa.

Double Oscar winner Swank will play the fabled aviator and Gere will portray her publisher husband George Putnam.
