Movies galore

Yesterday I was the true dork that I am. After getting terribly excited about and going to the opening of Best Buy, what did I walk out with? Another step towards completing my Star Trek: The Next Generation movie's collection...Star Trek: Insurrection. /shrug. What can I say, Picard floats my boat. (I got it for 10 bucks! eat that FYE!) How do I know Tony is the one for me? He walked out with the complete collection of the Star Trek original movies. (for 40 bucks! woooot!)

Right now I'm eating cinnamon rolls and watching Fern Gully. I love this job. I burned myself though, that's not cool.
Later we're going with our personal librarian to the library. I gotta make it quick because she is expensive and charges by the minute. hehe. yay for books!

Tonight we are going to Abigail's birthday party! I got her the Mr. Bean movie/Johnny English combo pack for her birthday. (We are both huge Rowan Atkinson fans)

Well I've been on a movie watching spree lately. yay for movies!

Tuesday Tony, I, Laura Michelle and Mikey went to see The Hulk. It was indeed great. It was really slow, but then again it's The Hulk and it's going to be slower than most Marvel movies cause that's just the story. It dosen't compare to Iron Man, lol, which I want to see again even though I saw it twice in theaters, but it was a great movie. Very well made. I loved Edward Norton as The Hulk. He fit the part. Liv Tyler was a great Marvel damsel as well. Even though she used Arwen voice all the way through so I kept thinking Arwen. (not that that's a bad thing) The cameo at the end just made my day. That was my favorite part. It's not going to be one I scramble to buy when it comes out, even though I would want it for the collection. Tony will scramble though I'm sure, he's always been a huge Hulk fan.

I really hope they continue with the "plan" to do the other two movies, and then come out with The Avengers' movie. A Captain America movie would rock my socks. I mean, a super soldier in WWII? That's all the idea you need for a great movie. Thor would worry me though. It would be hard not to make that too terribly cheesy. I mean like Mikey summed it up when I was trying to explain why I was worried , it would be like a movie about Fabio in outer space with a hammer. But that would just be such an awesome idea. Do all 4 character movies and then a big one bringing them all together? Yeah...

Thursday I was off and Abigail was off so I went over there to hang out and watch movies. That made me happy cause I hardly ever get to hang out with just her like that. We rented The Other Boleyn Girl, Be Kind Rewind, and August Rush. I can say right now that at the end of the day we were terribly excited because we loved all three!! That hardly ever happens!

Defiantly not everyone will like Boleyn. I have an affinity for period pieces....BUT, I still am objective towards them. (my hatred for Marie Antoinette comes to mind) This story was awesome. Especially once it got going. It had depth, kept you guessing and kept it interesting. You would hate one character one minute and then feel for them the next. I also love good stories about history and this was a story that I never heard told. History buffs would probably know, but I didn't know it led to what it did at the end. I had an inkling when I heard her name, but didn't know for sure, so it was an added bonus that I felt like I had learned something new after I watched it.

Oh man. What can I say about Be Kind Rewind. I have been wanting to see this movie since I first saw the preview so long ago. I absolutely love Jack Black and Mos Def, so that was a big plus, but it was also my kind of humor. I thought of my brother alllll throughout the movie, because it is so "us". It makes me laugh just thinking about it. I knew it was going to be funny, but I didn't know it was going to be such a great feel good story as well. Loved it!

August Rush was cute and all feel-goody. The beginning bored me because it was really slow, but once it got going it was great. One of those movies you keep wanting to yell at because you want the people to find each other, and they miss each other a couple times, or meet with out knowing who they really are, etc. Abs and I kept yelling "turn around!!!!" "dont go that way!!!" , etc. Especially for music lovers, and especially especially for anyone who has ever played an instrument, you have to see it. Kerri Russell and Jonathan Rhys Meyers were fantastic. Freddie Highmore never ceases to amaze me.

Well, the movie is over so I gotta go entertain some kids. A happy weekend to all....
