THE FINEST HOURS storms into theaters everywhere tomorrow, January 29th! #Disney #movies

My former brother-in-law is a member of the National Coast Guard. I think they often are overlooked among our military who help to defend our country. This looks like a great movie and I would be honored to see.

A heroic action-thriller, “The Finest Hours” is the remarkable true story of the most daring rescue mission in the history of the Coast Guard. Presented in Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D, the film will transport audiences to the heart of the action, creating a fully-immersive cinematic experience on an epic scale. On February 18, 1952, a massive nor’easter struck New England, pummeling towns along the Eastern seaboard and wreaking havoc on the ships caught in its deadly path, including the SS Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker bound for Boston, which was literally ripped in half, trapping more than 30 sailors inside its rapidly-sinking stern. As the senior officer on board, first assistant engineer Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) soon realizes it is up to him to take charge of the frightened crew and inspire the men to set aside their differences and work together to ride out one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast. Meanwhile, as word of the disaster reaches the U.S. Coast Guard station in Chatham, Massachusetts, Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff (Eric Bana) orders a daring operation to rescue the stranded men. Despite overwhelming odds, four men, led by Coast Guard Captain Bernie Webber (Chris Pine), set out in a wooden lifeboat with an ill-equipped engine and little, if any, means of navigation, facing frigid temperatures, 60-foot high waves and hurricane-force winds.

Disney’s “The Finest Hours” is the unforgettable story of the Coast Guard’s courageous mission, which is directed by Craig Gillespie and stars: Chris Pine; Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominee Casey Affleck; Ben Foster; Holliday Grainger; John Ortiz; and Eric Bana. Produced by Jim Whitaker and Dorothy Aufiero, the screenplay is by Oscar® nominee Scott Silver and Oscar nominees Paul Tamasy & Eric Johnson based on the acclaimed non-fiction book of the same name by Casey Sherman and Michael J. Tougias. Doug Merrifield serves as executive producer. “The Finest Hours” storms into U.S. theaters on January 29, 2016 in Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D. 

The movie opens tomorrow, January 29th.

Coffee Chatting about Life Songs and Getting On Track

It has been a long time since I just blogged because I wanted to...because I needed to write. I got away from my basic need to write for economic reasons in part. However, those reasons have not really panned out as well as I thought they would over the past 2-3 years. I am sure I have probably done something wrong but heck if I can figure it out.

This year is a year of do over for so many reasons. I seriously have got to get it together and find me again. It is easy to lose yourself. Stuff from the end of last year almost broke me in two, yet here I am.

Rory from Time Out For Mom and Cathy from Curious as Cathy both spoke about those songs that seem to be the soundtracks of your life. I thought that was interesting to say the least.
I guess if I was to say what mine is like right now, I would have to go with this one...

The song fits in so many ways. 

Tamirisc used to make CD's about his life, they were soundtracks of memory for him. I guess I never really understood that until now, but I do get it. You go through life and certain songs are played that just seem to fit you or it reminds you of a certain person or event. Yeah, I get it.

This is certainly a year of do-over for me. For fun, I took the same test Rory took to see what my life theme song might be for this year. Guess what? It kind of fit, well except for the vengeance part. (Note: this was a 2015 test but I just changed the dates)

What’s Your Personal 2016 Theme Song?

1. You got: Blank Space

   Your 2016 anthem is “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift. A year of new possibilities and sweet, sweet vengeance.
   

So, there it is a new blank space to heal, live, create, write, work, volunteer, do whatever I want to do.

I am starting again with this post. I hope you see more of me again in between the giveaways and usual stuff you have seen in the last year. It is time to get me back and I will!

Tell me in comments what one of your life songs is and why. ~Naila Moon

Monday's Music Moves Me 1980's Style! #music #MondaysMusicMovesMe

Hello my musical people! It is I, Naila Moon, here to bring you some rockin' tunes for Monday's Music Moves Me. You know this meme is hosted by that hip chick, Xmas Dolly and co-hosted by Stacy, Colette, and yours truly. Let's boogie, shall we?

This week we have a theme chosen by our spotlight dancer, Sounds Like Life To Me! She chose 1980's music which is right up my alley because I can say, I was an '80's kid! Whoot!

First up: He was the King of the 1980's, none other than Michael Jackson! In this great song of 1983 and #1 hit, he and another familiar face, Sir Paul McCartney sang their second duet. This video also cameo'd two other familiar faces. Can you tell me who they were? :)

Next: This smooth singer just knew how to woo the ladies. In this video he is in love with  his student and the suggestion is it was mutual. Hmm...well, I suppose that was not cool, especially today. Even in 1983, it was a bit of an eye opener and caught attention. I give you Lionel Ritchie.

Finally: This group, with singer George Michael, made this hit in 1984 after a note left by one of the bands parents. The song as you might imagine has nothing to do with making sure to check in. *wink*  Here is Wham!

Next week is a freebie week. I promise to post female singers next week! ~Naila Moon
