Family Fun: "UP" 4.5 starsThis was a fun film but not at all what I expected. I love that the previews didn't give the plot away! I admit I teared up a few times. There were some heavy topic touched on that really pulled at my heart strings. And of course it was silly and funny, too. Allie liked it, but I think I enjoyed it even more. We saw the 2D version, but I'd like to see it in 3D now.
Girls' Night Out: "17 Again" 4.5 stars
Now I really enjoyed this one! It surprised me since it was a cheesee chic flick. One problem: it made me feel OLD every time I looked at the young hero, Zac. I could see he was good looking, but I had a hard time relating since I'm nearly double his age. It was so weird, like a paradigm shift. I highly suggest it!
Date night: "Star Trek" 4.5 stars
I don't claim to be a hard core trek-e, but I did grow up watching the original TV series & movies so I really enjoyed this one. I laughed out loud when I quoted a few lines before they spoke them. Lots of laughs!
Disapointment: "MALL COP" 2.5 stars
Nate & I love Kevin James, especially in his TV show 'King of Queens', but this was not his best work and the plot was terrible. If you've seen the preview, you've seen the best parts. Mostly it was lame in between. We were fooled by how LONG it stayed in the expensive theater. Good think we only paid to see it at the $2 theater, and the afternoon show at that.
...and on the topic of movies: just 36 days till the next installment of Harry Potter comes out. If any one wants to join us at the midnight premierof 'Half Blood Prince' on Tuesday, July 14th let me know. Its almost time to buy tickets!

Hey, I'm glad to have your critiques on those movies. Now we'll know what to see!
Yea me too, I never know what ones to get from redbox. Yep, I don't remember the last time I actually went to a movie theatre. But next week Kung Fu Panda is going to be at the theatre for kids to go to, so I may venture out. I want more details about Up, it looks interesting.
