Mr Magorium: The Movie

I totally forgot to blog about this movie. I also saw this the night it came out.

This is a really really fun movie. I should take my kids to it. Now I generally dont like Dustin Hoffman, he is way to serious for me, and I cant stand his real-life self. BUT in this movie, he was perfect.

I truly enjoyed this movie all the way up to the last 5 minutes. The last 5 minutes was horrible. Up until then, everything was flowing smoothly and things were coming together nicely, and then I felt like they ran out of time and smooshed a HUGE turn of plot into the last 5 minutes of the movie. Just completely ruined it for me.

However, I know my kids will love this show when it comes out on DVD.

I am Legend: The Movie

Of course I had to see this movie. Cmon, the last guy alive.... is not alone?

So I went to the 940pm show last night. The plot is wonderful and makes enough sense to make it believeable. Will Smith is a great actor, and the action scenes were pretty fun.

HOWEVER, the whole reason I go to the theatre is cause the huge screen, big sound, and darkened atmosphere really pulls you into the movie and you almost feel part of it. I am Legend however failed to do this for me. So although I enjoyed it, I would probably have enjoyed it just as much if I had waited till it came out on DVD.

The Golden Compass: The Movie

I admit. I LOVE going to the movies. I enjoy it more than most everything else. I like to see them pretty much the same day they come out. Amy is really good about it. I generally catch the 930ish movie after the kids are in bed while Amy stays home. I am super excited for "I am Legend" coming out Friday.

I saw "The Golden Compass" this last weekend. Although the movie already looked really cool, I mostly went to see it to spite all the dorks crying "anti-religion" all over the place. And I didnt catch any of the anti-religious crap anywhere. The movie was awesome. It was sooo good I had Amy go see it the next night while I stayed home. Simply put, it was very fun and very adventerous. Giant bears fighting, witches flying around shooting bows and arrows. Freakin awesome.

Enchanted: The Movie

If you havent seen it, you have made a huge mistake up to this point. Drop everything and go see it immediately. It is wonderful.

Transformers

I saw it last night. I thought it was outstanding and I loved it. I am going to see it again.

Shrek the Third

We took all the kids, including the baby, to see Shrek 3 last night. It was alot of fun, I really enjoyed the show. The kids loved it too. They needed a break about 1.5 hours into it, so I took them out, got some drinks from the drinking fountain, then went back in. They finished the rest of the show no problem. We got popcorn too. There was a part where Shrek has a dream about all these baby ogres, and Crystal could not stop laughing. It was funny.

Now I just need to figure out how I can get me an Amy to Pirates 3.

Oh, and the preview to Transformers, which comes out July 4th, LOOKS AMAZING!!!

Movie Weekend

This last weekend was full of movies for me, I saw 3 of them.

First I went and saw The Last Mimzy friday night. It was a really good story, but they didnt pull it off very well. But I enjoyed it anyway.

Then Saturday morning I saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I took Rooker and Crystal, and Daniel came with us. Watching the preview, it looked like it would be a fun kids movie, nothing big. But when I saw the movie, it was EXCELLENT. The storyline was good, the jokes were funny, it was serious enough not to be stupid, everything Splinter said was cool, and the fight scenes were freaking awesome!!! I loved it. It was WAY better than I thought it would be. Crystal and Rooker loved it too.

Saturday night me and Ed went and saw Shooter. This is a movie about a retired Army sniper who the government asks to help them stop a planned assassination attempt on the President of the US. But when it all goes down, it turns out they were framing him for the assassination attempt. He of course runs away, and then the rest is The Fugitive story with a sniper guy. It was really kind of fun to watch, and the sniping scenes were of course really cool. The ending was kinda stupid though. But all in all it was enjoyable.

So it was a good weekend for me.

Ghost Rider

So I just saw Ghost Rider last night with Eddie.

It was frickin awesome!
