valentine’s day…

March 1, 2010

the movie. and the holiday. at our house…

over the years, dusty has been out-of-town more often than in-town for valentine’s day. which is no big deal, to me. it’s not a holiday that we place too much sentimental value on.

plus, i’ve learned…

i get way more spoiled when he’s out of town than when his real love is right next to me!

while in maui, and while traveling to/from we watched these movies:

dry. you need a good attention span for this movie, had i not been on an airplane, i may have turned it off or got up and walked out.

at times, it is strangely enjoyable. my favorite part is when he goes off on one of his tangents, he babbles about polar bears, i can’t remember the exact words but it went something like this…

“When polar bears hunt they crouch down by a hole in the ice and wait for a seal to pop up. They keep one paw over their noses so they blend in, because they have those black noses.

we’ve seen in the past month…

the squeakquel
i was disappointed. found myself looking around the theater, wondering if anyone else was not thrilled with this movie. the chippette’s are cute, the total of 5 minutes they maybe sing in the movie. that could be exaggerating…the time.

i agree with Mack Rawden’s review from, “cinemablend.com

quote, “Like Dave and Ian, I am a human being; furthermore, I am a human being who views not only my own time but that of my friends and family as valuable, non-renewable assets. In accordance with this viewpoint, I would never advise my friends or family to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.

i liked the 1950’s theme.

otherwise, i thought it was dull and lifeless.
i actually got up and walked out in the middle, so i could hang out in the hall on my iphone! when the rest of my family came out, they said the funniest line was,

“that’s a funny place for your antenna!”
when the astronaut drops his towel.

don’t waste your money on a ticket, rent this one!
