Movie Reviews

Movie Reviews - My humble opinion

Knowing - Not at all what I expected, it had some very scary moments! But overall I still enjoyed it. I can't really say more then that with out giving anything away.

17 Again - An absolute MUST SEE!

Observe and Report - Only see if you are a teenage/young 20-something male.

Preview Reviews - My initial reaction

Terminator Salvation - Don't talk during this preview or I will hit you. This preview shows how deep my love runs for Christian Bale, that I am actually excited for a Terminator Movie! But he does look AMAZING in it!

My Sisters Keeper - I cried like a baby, we're talking sobbing during the preview! In my defense I've read the book, and when I finished it I ended up sobbing in the fetal position. I can't wait for the movie! :) What can I say I'm a glutten for punishement.

Earth - Looks like a vast improvement on the True Life Adventure Series of 30 years ago, and those won acadamy awards!

Star Trek - Looks amazing, and Christian Bale isn't even in it!

Land of the Lost - Okay so I'm very confused on this one. Granted I barley remember the TV show. But I watched the entire trailer, and was shocked when the name of the movie came up. Like really? It seems nothing like the show.

Up - Never count Pixar out, that is all I'm going to say...Wall-E anyone?

Angles and Demons - I didn't read the book, and I'm surprised to say this actually looks interesting.

Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs - Really? Again? This is very quickly turning into the Land Before Time.

I love you Beth Cooper - Mixed emotions on this one...I'm a little sad and a little happy that I am no longer the target audience on this type of movie. Okay, happy wins it!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - Is it July 15th yet??? Cannot wait!

G-Force - I so do not care!

Am I in College Again....?

It is four o'clock on a Friday. I am in my pajamas, and I just finished watching an episode of Quantum leap. Yep, I think I'm officially back in college.

In my defense; Today I have done lots of job searching, called a few contacts, read a really good book, did three loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and of course who could forget kicking Ron's butt in tennis! 4 games to 2! (Although, yesterday he did kick my butt 5 games to 1, but whoes counting?)

So that is what is up with me. Ron is now working, and I'm about to (Yikes) put real clothes on, and go see the Hannah Montana Movie with Theresa.

It is an exciting life I lead.

Welcome to the Babble

So here is the history of the babble...

Way way back in the end of 2005 I discovered My space. I thought it was a really fun way to stay in touch with my family. Since I moved to the other side of the country I wanted to find new and exciting ways to stay in touch. I thought I had found the perfect way to do it....However my family did not share my enthusiasm for the new web sight.

So I decided that if they wouldn't go to the web to see what I was up to, I would rebel and send the update directly to them. And so began my babbles. I would for lack of a better word - babble about what was going on with me, and e-mail it to everyone.

I tried to babble every Friday, which would or would not happen regularly. But more or less I was able to keep up with it.

So here we are a few years later, and I have decided to change my approach, and officially move my babble to the web. I'm going to re-type a few of my original babbles into the sight to give us a starting point, then go forward from here.

So I hope that you all embrace our new medium. Feel free to babble back in the comment section.
