Since the weather has been finally cold, I got some time this past weekend to snuggle in my bed and watch two movies that were just released onto Blu-ray yesterday.
The first movie that I watched was Sweet Home Alabama. This was my second or third time watching this movie and probably won’t be the last. I am a fan of Reese Witherspoon and I just LOVE the plot to this story.
Synopsis: Melanie Carmichael, an up and rising fashion designer in New York, has gotten almost everything she wished for since she was little. She has a great career and the JFK-like fiancée of New York City. But when he proposes to her, she doesn’t forget about her family back down South. More importantly, her husband backthere, who refuses to divorce her ever since she sent divorce papers seven years ago. To set matters straight, she decides to go to the south quick and make him sign the papers. When things don’t turn out the way she planned them, she realizes that what she had before in the south was far more perfect than the life she had in New York City.
The second movie that I watched this weekend was Beaches. This was actually the first time I have ever seen this movie even though it originally debuted in 1991. When this film first came out I was in high school and didn’t have much time for much, never the less movies that had sad but happy endings. If you have never seen this one, it might just leave you in tears.
Synopsis: When the irrepressible C.C. Bloom and the shy and proper Hilary Whitney meet for the first time under the boardwalk, the 11 year olds have something in common, they both need a best friend. They continue to stay friends even thought they live different lifestyles and are worlds apart by keeping in touch through letters and phone calls.
These are two great movies that you will want to add to your Blu-ray collection! They also might make great gifts for those that are fans of Bette Middler, Reese Witherspoon or Patrick Dempsey. Both of these titles happen to be on sale right now on Amazon for under $15 too!

I like the new movies posted here coming out on Blu Ray! I too like Reese in the movies and this is a really good movie to watch again. I have not seen Beaches, but it looks like a really interesting movie! I just looked at Walmart’s Black Friday ad and I see tons of really good deals on movies. I am going to take a look and see if I can find the new Sweet Home Alabama movie.
Beaches makes me ball, I can’t watch that movie!!
I love both movies!
I can watch Beaches a million times and I still get choked up everytime I watch it.
One of my contributors got Beaches. Can’t wait to hear what she thinks about it.
I saw Beaches in the theatre with my best friend. Sigh. Still makes me all teary eyed.
I love both of those so much!
Ihaven;t seen these in forever!
oh I love Sweet Home Alabama. We have the DVD but not blu-ray
Both of these movies are must haves for a chick flick collection!
Those are all such good “Girls Night In” movies!
I love Beaches! One of my favorite movies of all-time.
I love Sweet Home Alabama!!
