Some movies I've watched recently

I had a movie weekend this past weekend! lol So I have a few quick reviews for you.... David and I watched Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey , which I have seen before but he had not. He enjoyed it most triumphantly. :::plays air guitar::: Bill and Ted are killed by two evil Bill and Ted robots sent from the future. They travel to hell and make a deal with the Grim Reaper. If they can win a challenge, they can return to earth and try to save the Princess Babes. Yeah, an odd plot. The first movie is definitely better, so if you found their Excellent Adventure bogus, then you'll think the sequel is non-non-heinous. Dude. ;-) I am just happy to watch a young Keanu. lol The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything (Veggie Tales) was playing at a local theatre that offers free kids matinees on Saturday and Sunday mornings in the spring. This had never come to the theatre we usually go to and I really wanted to take the kids to see it. Since we had soccer on Saturday, we skipped church (h...

The Dark Knight & Batman trailers compared

Looks like someone has had time to play around with scenes from the 1989 Batman . See more funny videos at CollegeHumor :::shivers::: I can't wait for some HOT July day to go see The Dark Knight .

Speed Racer - Go go go!

I remember downloading Lord of the Rings movie trailers. It took all night. Now I can watch movie trailers ALL DAY LONG and not tie up my phone line for hours, nor wait interminably long periods for a download. Just click and watch. If you are similarly blessed, you may watch the Speed Racer trailer. :-) There's another Speed Racer trailer aimed more at kids available here . Compare this new movie with the old cartoon from the late 60's.

March Reads

My plan was to write write write in March. Sadly, it was one of those plans that did not come to fruition. Ah well, there's always tomorrow. So, I only read a little in March. I think I paid for it with some depression. If I'm not reading, then I'm not quite alive. The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold - 03/02/08 Fair - Fiction Helen and her mother have had a rocky relationship and as her mother ages, things don't improve. I enjoyed The Lovely Bones also by Sebold. I did NOT like this one. Don't even know why I read it. The heroine was unlikeable in every way. Finding Hope by Brenda Coulter - 03/15/08 Excellent - Romance Hope befriends a rich heartless doctor but his lack of belief in God is a stumbling block to any further relationship This book could not be more different than The Almost Moon. I stayed up far too late reading this two nights in a row. It is part of the Steeple Hill Love Inspired series from Harlequin and I think it's one of the best examples of t...
