4 movies, 2 we paid for 1 we stole and the other was free.

Friday

Andrew and I watched movies pretty much all weekend and I loved every minute of it!

PAID>>>. Vampires Assistant: Don't ask me why I was "dying" to watch this movie but I like some of the actors in this film, John C Riley for instance  played the main Vamp and did a pretty good job to my surprise, Amy had pointed out to me before hand that she thought he seemed too goofy for a "head vamp". Salma Hayek was the bearded lady....kinda creepy and Jane Krakowski (30 rock) was a woman who could regrow limbs, there was a joke that she could give the newly sired vampire her arm to eat because she could just grow it back. The film reminded me a bit of the Goosebumps books in the aspect of kooky characters and stupid humor. It was colorful and the plot was actually pretty entertaining, there was a lot of different characters with different freaky talents and the special effects where cool. I would probably recommend this to people with kids.

Saturday

PAID>>>This movie was AWESOME! I enjoyed the total destruction of the planet, pretty much everyone died except a few but that is to be expected....a cute puppy survived! The graphics of this movie were spectacular, at one point the yellowstone super volcano was erupting and I was so breathless I literally put my hand to my chest and gasped....it looked real. The best part about this movie was the fly by humor from Jhon Cusack and other characters in the movie. It had a sweet and heroic undertone and reminding us how important our families are, one of the new trends in Hollywood is to take married couples who are having trouble and put them in scenarios where they fall in love again so no divorce! Woot... sort of what happened here. I get to write a report on the movie for my geology class and pick out disasters that aren't geologically sound, I am pretty excited for that...ahem....extra credit. Just so you know you cannot find the epicenter of an earthquake immediately from a satellite or any satellite for that matter.

STOLE>>>
So sometimes I corrupt Andrew into stealing things such as fruit, or in this case movies. I noticed there weren't enough people in this theater and it need at least two more to fully appreciate this story. It was in 3D and we didn't have any glasses but conveniently there was a box full of them right outside the theater, so I took two pairs of used ones (which we cleaned vigorously) and we watched this one right after 2012. I loved this movie! The ghosts were terrifying, Marley was the worst with his jaw all unhinged and clunky chains! The ghost of Christmas present was nasty in the end too it was a bit graphic for little kids but this story is for the older crowd in the first place. The story was pretty close to the book, I thought Jim Carey did a great job of Scrooge the movie as a whole was beautiful artistically and a fun addition to our day.

FREE: Andrew was lucky and got to miss out on this one I'm sure he would have hated it.

This movie was totally 80's.My girls had went to bed early on Sat night so all I had was ON DEMAND. This was really the most interesting film on the list. It is about a viking who doesn't like to rape and pillage so he takes a voyage to the Gods to seek a new way of life for his people. I loved this movie and I seriously want to own it! It had all the movie magic of the 80's and I love Tim Robbins he offers this weird sensative character to the film and tries to make sense out of his love for a woman he accidentally kills (in a humorous way) at the beginning. It's a cute flick I dug it.
