Some Good Ol Visual Entertainment
WOW. It has been a long time since I have updated. Things were just busy with school and coming home, etc.
Anyways, now that I am home from school, I have been watching a lot of movies. I think I have watched a very wide variety of visual entertainment – enough to satisfy all ages.
Shrek 4 on opening night. Don’t judge me, it was great. “Do the roar.” I enjoyed. But the third one is still the best.
Avatar. I finally saw this movie for the first time. It was way different than what I had expected, in a good way. The bed things that the people had to lay in to access the avatars looked so comfortable. So cushy. Toruk Makto, YEAH. I would really recommend this movie. I did not want to see it when it came out, and now I regret missing out on some IMAX 3D action.
I also watched some Wedding Crashers. It’s been awhile. It made me realize how exciting weddings are. Within the next few years a bunch of my friends are going to be getting married. The receptions are going to be ridiculous I am sure. It’ll be some good times. (I mean, not to mention how happy of a time it will be just to see two people getting married of course.) Let’s crash some weddings.
Have you ever seen Chicken Run or Ferngully?? Good times. Good G-rated times. They bring me back to my very young childhood years, when I thought chickens could plan an escape and when I thought trees understood what I said. Watch em.
John Tucker Must Die. I am not sure what it is about this movie that I find so attractive. Maybe it’s the incredibly exaggerated high school experience. I don’t know about you, but my high school years were not close to what it’s like in this movie: less extremely attractive people, much smaller, less cliche, but maybe the same amount of drama… Regardless, I find movies like this (e.i. Mean Girls) quite entertaining.
The Proposal. This movie is a chick flick, yes. But it is actually pretty funny. Mmmm Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. Good combo I think. Short synopsis: She is a B and Ryan (yeah, he and I are on a first name basis) is her assistant. Her visa has expired and she is threatened with being deported to Canada. So her and Ryan Reynolds say that they are engaged and going to get married so she won’t be deported. Then they go to Alaska to meet his family. I enjoyed it very much. It warms the heart.
Don’t worry. I watch some more sophisticated movies occasionally as well. Have you seen The Sting? Made in 1973, starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman. This is actually one of my favorite movies. I have always wanted to meet Paul Newman (the salad dressing guy). Amazing actor. And very good looking in his hay day. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to meet him. But I love his films and salad dressing.
P.S. Robert Redford reminds me of a better looking Owen Wilson. haha No? Maybe it’s just because I saw both Wedding Crashers and The Sting within like 2 days. Different nose for sure. But same eyes, hair, face shape?
But seriously, watch The Sting. I don’t anticipate your disappointment.
I am also currently watching Cars (which Owen Wilson does the voice in).
I also would like to mention that I do live out the things I discuss in my blog.
The other day, I had a slurpee with some of my besties (errn, kristie, and max). YUM. I really missed it. I also tried a Twix java. SO good.
I have also been making my own popsicles. haha I don’t know what it is. They’re just fun and easy. I bought a popsicle mold from a jewel for like… less than a dollar. I swear. I made some root beer float popsicles the other day and then my brother told me to make gatorade popsicles. Which is actually kind of a good idea. Gatorade should make popsicles: to cool and replenish electrolytes.
Anyways, I just wanted to update you on the current goings ons. I plan to update again very soon 
Stay cool. Literally. It’s hot out.
