Horton Hears A Who March 15, 2008

Last night we went to go see the new Dr. Seuss movie and I thought it was great.  Sweet Pea loved it and of course now she wants the book and can’t wait for the movie to come out so we can buy it.  Monkey was surprisingly good during the first half and then the second half he kept going from me to Mimi, and then to Grumps.  And of course during the last 20 min he decided to chill out and watch.  I can’t believe I actually went because that meant taking Monkey and the last time I took him he was terrible, but David was working late last night and I really wanted to go, and I’m glad I did.  Ooo before I forget I have to tell you the previews I saw: Nim’s Island-I’ll pass; Kung Fu Panda-It’s going to be hilarious; Wall E-Can’t wait to see this latest Pixar movie; and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaur; I really like the first two and I think this one will be good, oh and it said that it will be coming out in 3-D too.

Oh and before I forget no one has left me any rude comments about me getting a ticket but you know how some people can be so that’s why I said don’t leave one.  Thanks for leaving me your stories and comments.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End May 27, 2007

As many of you know I went to go see the latest Pirates movie on Thursday night.  The movie didn’t start until 11:35 p.m. and let me tell you there was a line already outside an hour before the movie started.  It was over about 2:35 a.m. and of course the next day the kids decided to be up at 7 a.m.  OMG I was soooo tired and was glad when naptime came around because I desperately needed one.

The movie was awesome; I thought it was just as good as the other two.  Ok well there was one scene that I didn’t really like, and no I will not spoil anything for you.  But part of that scene made sense while the other not so much.  But seriously folks it was great-the whirlpool fighting scene was even better than what was shown on the previews.  And for all you Capt. Jack Sparrow fans-you will not be disappointed because he’s as good looking as he was in the first two. 

Now I do have one complaint but it’s not about the movie.  The movie theater was so freaking hot it was ridiculous.  I mean by the end I was kind of sweating and it wasn’t because of Capt. Jack.  My mil came with me and said she didn’t know if it was because of him or that the theater was hot-it was the theater.  And from what I hear this movie made 17 million from it sales on Thurs. night.  So if you liked the first two than I really think you like the third just as much.

Movie-Quote-A-Day May 23, 2007

“In a good shoe, I wear a size six, but a seven feels so good, I buy a size eight. “

Alright well I’ve decided since we own a butt-load of movies I thought of posting a movie quote everyday.  As you noticed I didn’t put who said it, I’m going to let y’all guess and then tomorrow I will post who said it along with a new quote.  I just thought this would be something fun to do because David and I are such dorks this is what we do sometimes.  Although he knows a lot more about movies than I do.  I’m talking directors, who wrote the movie scores-it’s crazy.

We have this movie game that I used to love to play, again used to love.  After the first couple of times playing this game and losing miserably I realized that this game was no fun and definitely not fair.  I swear he sat down with the cards and decided to memorize them along with all of the director’s cards.  He kicks my butt everytime.  So now we’ll play Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit; this kind of evens out the playing field and I actually win sometimes. 

Anyway I hope you enjoy this little game, and when I post the quote/answer it will be in my regular post. 

Spider-Man 3 May 9, 2007

Before this movie came out I was stoked to go and see it, well David didn’t feel like fighting the crowds so we waited until Monday night.  Anyways this weekend everyone I talked to said it was good but kind of cheesy.  So of course now I was a little hesitant but I still wanted to go. 

Ok back to Monday night a few of us went to the 10 p.m. show and it was actually pretty crowded.  Are you ready to hear what I thought about it, I know you are :)  Overall I thought the movie was good.  The special effects were awesome and yes there was a couple of cheesy parts but not enough for me to say that I didn’t like it.  As for David’s opinion he loved it and yes he will be buying it when it comes out on video.

Summer Blockbusters April 28, 2007

The other day David got his Entertainment Weekly magazine in the mail, and let me say I’m so excited by the movies that are coming out this summer.  So here is the list of movies that I am uber excited to go and see.

May 4-Spiderman 3  Ok this movie is going to be awesome.  I loved the first two and I know I will not be disappointed.  In this movie we have three new characters: Thomas Haden Church as Sandman, Topher Grace as Venom, and Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy.  There is even talk of making a Spiderman 4 but I guess we’ll have to see how number 3 does but I know I won’t be disappointed.

May 18-Shrek the ThirdI’m sure if you liked the first two the third will not be disappointing, and who doesn’t like to see some princesses kick some butt :)  Since we have watched the first two we can’t wait to take Sweet Pea to go and see it, oh and she love Puss n Boots, as for me I think Donkey is hilarious, but then again so is Mike Myers as Shrek.  Ok so basically I like all the people in it and the movie.

May 25-Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.  All I can say is that I love Capt. Jack Sparrow but probably not as much as my mil (since she has a poster of him on her fridge), even though I’ve been a huge fan of Johnny Depp since 21 Jumpstreet.  Ok enough about that, this is the last installment and from all the trailers I’ve seen it will prove to be an awesome movie with some sweet fighting scenes.  With two new characters: Chow Yun-Fat as Pirate Lord of Singapore, and Keith Richards as Captain Teague who might be Jack Sparrows dad.

June 22-Evan AlmightyFirst off I think Steve Carell is hilarious and I also thought Bruce Almighty was great.  So with that being said I think this will be just as funny if not more than the first one.  In case you haven’t seen any trailers it’s a comedy form of Noah’s Ark.  With all the animals he wanted to use the movies budget was about $175 million-wow.

July 13-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix  Just to let y’all in on a big secret-ok it’s no secret-I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan.  I have all the books and I’m dying to read the last one, I also own the movies and have watched them to many times to count.  Now I don’t go as far as the Star Trek, Star Wars, or the Lord of the Ring fans, but I am a big fan.  I have enjoyed all of the movies and like the books each movie just gets better.  So yes I will waiting in line about 1 hr or 1n1/2 hrs before the movie starts because I refuse, I mean refuse to sit in the front row like I had to last time-thanks hun.

Ok there are many more good movies that are coming out this summer but the ones I listed are the ones I’m definitely plan on seeing.  Let me know what you think and what movies you are looking forward to.  Have a great weekend! 

Scary Movies April 26, 2007

I used to love watching scary movies growing up, you name I’ve probably seen it.  But something happened when I was prego with Sweet Pea, I don’t like watching them anymore.  Maybe it’s because they are just way to gory and I don’t like that.  Now I do like to watch suspense, but not blood and guts hanging out all over the place.  Take Halloween, scared me as a kid but it’s not bloody. 

The reason I’m talking about this is because last night David begged and begged for me to watch a scary movie.  Oh and not just any scary movie, one of the 8 films to die for horror fest.  To David the bloody the better, umm no thanks.  Ok so after much pleading (he’s been asking for a couple of weeks now) I finally give in.  As I’m typing this I still don’t know why I agreed to watch this or any of the other ones he’s begged me into watching. 

The name of the movie was Dark Ride, about a carnival that has a scary tunnel ride where some teens end up being killed-you know the norm.  The plot wasn’t to bad, but I could done without the gore.  And thank goodness I didn’t have any nightmares because I have a wild imagination and tend to scare the crap out of myself-go ahead and say big baby.  So what about y’all, do you like to watch scary movies or are you like me and can live without them?
