2) Sabrina Movie Review

Audrey Hepburn is at her most adorable best as Sabrina, the chauffeur's daughter. You find yourself rooting for her every step of the way to win over William Holden. In fact, you have to wonder how he can possibly resist her. Sabrina is the essence of charming and the movie is completely heartwarming.

In fact, both versions of Sabrina are heartwarming and absorbing. I prefer the 1954 version with Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden and include a review of it here, but the 1995 version with Julia Ormond, Harrison Ford, and Greg Kinnear is also outstanding.

In fact, why not watch them both? Different nights, of course. It's a great date movie.


Here's a review by Amazon.com editor, Jenny Brown.

"Audrey Hepburn is the delightful young Sabrina, the daughter of a chauffeur who is hopelessly in love with David Larrabee (William Holden), the playboy younger son in the rich Long Island household her father works for. In order to help her forget her woes, Sabrina is shipped off to cooking school in Paris. While there, she befriends a baron who provides a bit of culture--and the encouragement to snip off her childlike ponytail. Upon her return to New York, Sabrina is transformed into a sophisticated woman, and David is entranced by her. However, his older brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) has arranged David's marriage to Elizabeth Tyson in order to seal a business merger and thus must steer David away from Sabrina. To do this, Linus takes on the task of wooing her for himself. Full of great dialogue ("A woman happy in love, she burns the soufflé; a woman unhappy in love, she forgets to turn on the oven") and wonderful performances, this film is a romantic masterpiece. Also enjoyable is the 1995 remake, starring Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford."

4) First Date Tips by Jennifer Klein

Dating can be tough and first dates can be painful. So what are you to do? Here is a list of dating tips to start the year out right!

· Meet your date out and drive yourself. If you want to bail out early, you won't be trapped. Also, when you have your own car. If things work out, you won't have any worries about inviting your date in or not. This helps protect you from your own impulses, because what's worse then "will he respect me in the morning?" is "How much will I hate myself when I wake up?". Also when you have your own car, no need to worry about safety, your date does not know where you live. This protects you from a date turned bad turning in to a stalking nightmare.

· Keep the date simple. You're nervous enough without making a big show, plus you don't want to lock yourself in to an evening you won't enjoy.

· Men, end the date first. You will make yourself stand out.

· Women, don't wear anything low cut or short. It sounds like an old cliché but your first date knows very little about the woman you are. He will take you at face value and you don't want to give the wrong impression.

A friend of mine went out for dinner on a blind date. She is a very conservative women, who really likes to take her time in relationships. All of us who know her know this about her. Her date didn't. She went out on the date wearing a sexy low cut cocktail dress. They went to dinner, had a wonderful evening, and when he walked her to her door, he pounced on her! She was of course surprised and upset, but her date didn't know her, he just took her at face value.

5) Song: To Celia by Ben Jonson

Love poems have the power to inspire us and to warm our hearts. We should take a few minutes each day to recall an inspirational line or stanza.


Song: To Celia

Drink to me, only with thine eyes
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine:
But might I of Jove's nectar sup
I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much honouring thee
As giving it a hope that there
It could not withered be
But thou thereon didst only breath
And sent'st it back to me:
Since, when it grows and smells, I swear,
Not of itself but thee.

6) Love Song: Here, There and Everywhere
by The Beatles

This is Art Garfunkel's favorite song ever, and it was one of John Lennon's and Paul McCartney's favorite Beatles songs.

Read the following lyrics and recall who you were with on a special occasion when you heard the song.


Here, There and Everywhere

To lead a better life,
I need my love to be here.

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there.

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there.

I want her everywhere
and if she's beside me I know I need never care.
But to love her is to need her

Everywhere, knowing that love is to share
each one believing that love never dies
watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there.

I want her everywhere
and if she's beside me I know I need never care.
But to love her is to need her.

Everywhere, knowing that love is to share
each one believing that love never dies
watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there.

I will be there, and everywhere.
Here, there and everywhere.

Read some interesting notes about Here, There and Everywhere.

That's all for now.

Make it a great week.

Mark
