we squeezed in two movies while on our road trip…
***
knight & day
good. i feel like “knight & day” and “killers” is competing with “mr. & mrs. smith” and neither movies pull it off, but both are entertaining.
the A team
one person makes this movie great: bradley cooper.

letters to juliet ~ somewhat cheesy “what if” fantasy.
it was a perfect girls night out flick for moi!
toy story 3 ~ another toy story, another masterpiece.
a very fun day at the theater with three other mommas and our herd of eleven kids! it is truly a circus to get every kid happily sat by every friend they are requesting to sit by, fill every drink/treat request, and to carry in the booster seats!!! but totally worth it!
Killers ~i thought this movie was hillarious, of course realizing, completely NOT realisitic…i noticed our crowd was the only crowd laughing in a fairly full theater.

i was 8 years old, and dusty was 13 when the original movie was released. dusty was a great ‘ralph macchio’ look-alike back in the day. wink. wink.
on friday night we went to the movies to see the new ‘karate kid,’ and we all agreed between the two,

iron man
believe the hype. go see it. after iron man & iron man 2, i left the theaters in LOVE with iron man. he rocks. i like a little narcissism in my man.
shrek 3-D ‘the final chapter’
we are HUGE shrek fans at our house, from the original movie. my husband is regularly heard quoting his favorite shrek lines…
“You know what else everybody likes? Parfaits. Have you ever met a person, you say, “Let’s get some parfait,” they say, “Hell no, I don’t like no parfait”? Parfaits are delicious.”

the movie.
Steve Carell & Tina Fey just might be my new favorite fake married couple.
…make sure you stay until the end, and see the outtakes.
