The Worst Movie of my Life.

Spiderman 3 was an abomination of human endeavor. When I wasn't yawning, I felt like I was going to puke because it was SO AWFUL! The best part of the movie was the blooper reel, though even they were dumb. The other tolerable part was the Music Video by Snow Patrol.

Ugh. Don't bother.

Best Movie of my life.

Enchanted is my all new favorite movie. It is a parody of all animated and princess stories ever written. Giselle is a princess who has fallen into a hole that leads her to New York right before her wedding to her prince charming. She wanders around until she finds McDreamy, who helps her despite her annoyingly positive outlook on life and love.

The songs are composed by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, who wrote songs together in other Disney movies like Pocahontas, Hercules, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Alan Menken wrote the music for other movies and musicals such as Aladdin, Little Shop of Horrors, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast. Stephen Schwartz wrote the lyrics for some of my favorite musicals: Wicked, and Godspell.

I don't usually want to give away to best parts of the movie, but I will today. Here is my favorite part of the movie - Giselle starts singing about McDreamy's girlfriend, in the middle of a park, drawing a LOT of attention. And I really love her dress!!

"That's How You Know"

The next four posts...

The next four posts are all songs performed by Hugh Laurie. As one youtube user said:

"I don't care that it's funny... the man has skills."

He does all his own singing and playing. He's pretty much a musical genius.

So I hope you enjoy Hugh and his...skills.

What I mind.

"I don't mind being lonely
I don't mind being poor
What I mind is being misunderstood
I can't take it anymore..."

Sophisicated Song

"I wear sophisticated clothes
I say sophisticated things
Everything about me says
I'm a sophistication king..."



:D

There Ain't But One Way

"Well, the world is facing problems getting bigger every day,
They've got a greenhouse over Texas and recession's on the way..."

*this song does us some language, just fyi. Don't let small children watch or whatever*

Mystery

"Mystery
All my life has been a mystery
You and I were never ever meant to be
That's why I call my love for you a mystery..."


Enjoy!

Movie of the Week

I started my spring break by flopping down on the couch with a bag of chips, and watching the best movie ever:

Star Trek: First Contact

Need I say more? I'm a total trekkie, and I love all the next generation movies! This one is particularly incredible because they get to go to the past and help out James Cromwell - a reluctant visionary who changes the fate of the world.

Oh yeah...there's some stuff about borg in it, too.

Plans for Spring Break!

So Spring Break (yes, capital letters are needed) is coming up, and I have a few things that I must do to remain a sane person for the rest of the semester. I leave it up to my friends and family to make it happen...

Sleep, play Nintendo with nice Idahoans who are stuck here, go to Eugene, go to the coast, sleep in a yurt (!!), frolic in the ocean, sleep, play more video games, visit mom and dad, sleep, read myself out of books, bake something exciting, clean the apartment (HA!!), watch some tv, and sleep.

Can I fit it all into one week? We'll find out...

Movie Time!!

I've seen a few movies since I've written in my blog (not too many because I've been studying [I hope you're reading this mom]). Some of them are worth talking about...


Juno

This movie totally surprised me out of my anti-indie-movie kick. I thought it was a clever movie that told the story of a teen girl going through an unplanned pregnancy. I actually liked it, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Dan in Real Life

The new Steve Carrell movie is sweet, cheesy, brainless, and made me giggle. A single dad who's fallen in love with his brother's new girlfriend. It was better than I make it sound. It was worth seeing.


Becoming Jane

Not terrible, not terrific. I'd probable watch it again.

Hairspray

I've seen this before, but I just watched it again, and it hit me like a sack of potatoes: I really like this movie. Enough said.


Sydney White

Brainless brainless brainless brainless!! But I will always remember that it took Lily an hour into the movie to realize that it was the story of Snow White. It was classic!
It is the tale of a young college girl who tries to get into a sorority that her mother was in. When she is thrown out, she makes friends with 7 dorks (haha) and tries to change the way the school is run. I'll give you half a guess as to how it turns out.

Victory is Mine!

"Victory is mine! Great day in the morning, victory is mine. I drink from the keg of glory. Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land."

Oh how true those words are.

I totally rock!!!!
