Sunday was Valentine’s Day. Hope yours was loverly.
As you probably know, a movie of the same name was released on Friday. Did you see it?
I didn’t get a chance. Too much Olympics coverage to watch. (I did see a preview performance of “Miracle Worker” on Broadway with Abigail Breslin, which was spectacular).
According to rottentomatoes.com, “Valentine’s Day” the movie is 84 percent rotten. As one reviewer put it, “This has not a single ounce of the charm that you might find in ‘Love Actually’ or a number of other films revolving around romance. It’s just plain bad.”
Oh well…I still want to witness the carnage. There are a lot of actors in the film that I like and, even if they suck, well, I’ll enjoy seeing that, too.
So, in honor of the suckiest things that movies have to offer, I thought I would resurrect the Top Ten Worst Movie Quotes of All Time, which were compiled in a survey by Warburtons.
Enjoy!

Timeout
I’ve spent a lot of time in the Dallas Fort Worth Airport over the years.
If I’m waiting for my flight home, you’ll most often find me — depending on my departure terminal — in Chili’s or Friday’s or near the closest electrical outlet.
Today my sister Lou and I killed a couple of hours in the Cowtown Bar in Terminal A. And I’m pretty sure…
It’s a portal back in time.
Let’s just say, it caught the eye.
The music mix also took us back. “Last Kiss” started playing — “Last Kiss!” I remember a group called Wednesday made a version of that song popular in 1974. It has literally been a decade since I’ve heard that song.
This was followed by other hits from long ago. I felt like I had fallen into a time warp.
Then a couple came into the restaurant with their three-year old daughter. She was the spitting image of actress Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, No Reservations, Nim’s Island). I decided it was her.
Which convinced me — we had traveled back in time.
Tragically, I didn’t look any younger.
