KNOWING

I just watched "Knowing" on DVD with Nicolas Cage. WOW. Thats about all I can say. The movie is a definite must if you have not seen it yet. It is packed full of suspense, action, thrill, love, and sci-fi all in one movie! I would have thought it was an M. Night Shyamalan flick. It was that good! Now it was a definite fiction flick yet totally entertaining. I even had to peek through my fingers a couple times. The child actor Chandler Canterbury is a great little actor. I think we will see great things from him. Nic was pretty typical from the way he talks to his cute little elvis stance, but he was believable. It left me heartbroken as a parent, reminded me of the disappointing way of the world, but hopeful in what the rapture might be like as a christ follower. Huh. Very interesting film.

Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Today my 3kids and I went to the theater to see the third Ice Age movie. Well another good job by Blue Sky and Fox in the world of children's movies. This movie was entertaining for my 5, 9, and 13 year olds, the whole time. They giggled and awwed the entire length of the film along with 99% of the kids and parents in the theater. Again, Scrat was the hit with his endless chase of the ever popular Acorn, but to his demise he ends up meeting Scratte, a lovely female after the same acorn... Crash and Eddie also made my kids laugh quite a bit. Sid longed to become a parent with the impending birth of Manny and Ellie's baby so he sets off to find a family of his own. Happening upon three dinosaur eggs sets this movie in motion as the real mom comes into play. As the team sets off to rescue Sid from the now upset momma dinosaur they meet a weasel named Buck who is the essence of an Indiana Jones character. It was fun to watch, vibrant colors and witty humor all make this a definite catch in my book. Worth it to see in the theater on the big screen!

The Hangover

Since I'm on a review kick - trying to catch up with my goals... This movie was HILARIOUS! I have not been in a movie where the whole theater was laughing their butts off the whole time! My gut hurt from laughing so hard! It was never predictable, not even because of the trailers. It was THAT good. Best movie I've seen this season so far. Until the next Twilight movie New Moon comes out. lol.... Sorry. All the guys did a superb job acting and adapting. It was great to see Tyson in a cameo appearance. It was sad to see a beautiful classic Mercedes get beat up, and my poor Bradley's face too for that matter. Losing the best man after getting slipped rufies, but then never really losing him at all sends these guys on an intense scavenger hunt full of fast and sometimes stolen cars, a few miscellaneous animals - not the vegas-ites, and a baby. In the end there are two marraiges, a saved marraige, and a discovered manhood. A+ for this movie! Definitely getting added to my library when its released on dvd.

Transformers II - Revenge of the Fallen

OK so I am a huge fan of these live action movies that come from the cartoons that played when I was a kid. Transformers, IRON MAN, Hulk, Wolverine and all of them. Transformers II was just as good as the first movie. I would not say it was better. It had a lot more humor this time with the 'twins' added as new autobots. Shia's character was always a little mixed up, the lines were really choppy. Overall he did a great job at it. Meagan Fox - well she has looks and a great attitude when she acts. I'm a girl so I say this carefully - she's hot and I'm jealous! Come on, she gets to kiss Shia! Ok, honestly I'd like a part that involved me kissing Josh Duhamel. I'll stop now. Movie was great - a definite buy on Blue Ray disc. A must see in the theater first!

YEAR ONE - MOVIE REVIEW

Well I have to say - I took my 13 year old to see this movie today. Year one with Jack Black was truly a disappointment. I have seen all of his movies and I truly think the guy has talent. But I am so glad that I waited to see this one unitl I had a couple free Regal Crown Club rewards movie vouchers for this one. It was only slightly funny, mostly irreverent humor with some poop eating too. Really? My 13 year old son did not even feel like staying for it. Ugh - this would be a Red Box $1 rental only if you've seen everything else. Make sure you have alcohol, a strong stomach and great friends who are willing to stick it out for a goofy movie night... sorry Jack.
