Now that I have finally transferred this blog to WordPress, I am happy to say that I’m back at Tuesday Couch Potatoes – again. This is a movie meme where Mommy Kikamz gives a particular theme each week and we share them to other couchers. I am really not fond of watching English movies, but because hubby loves them and he insists that I join him, I can say that I do enjoy them most of the time.

This week’s theme is about computers and there’s this very memorable movie I know of that I watched together with my Grade 4 classmates in school. I was not very excited that time because… you know – IT’S ENGLISH! But because it was one of the first English movies that I enjoyed, it made a mark in my head and I even shared it with Alyssa.

Here’s a summary written by Newton Haights from IMDB – 12-year-old Preston Waters is tired of his pain-in-the-butt brothers and stingy parents. One day, a rich but convicted money launderer by the name of Quigley nearly kills him in a parking lot and gives him (by mistake) a blank check. So Preston boots up his computer, makes out the check for one million dollars cash money, comes up with the pseudonym of “Macintosh” and starts to spendin’. But Quigley wants his money back — it was supposed to be cashed by another man with a blank check and handed back to Quigley. Can Preston keep up the facade? Will Quigley and his goons get their money back? And will Preston learn how valuable money really is?

Again, an old Disney Movie worth remembering. It teaches kids not only the value of money, but most specially the cause and effect of their actions.

Happy TCP, Couchers!
