Movin' on up.

Movie Extravaganza

We have been frequenting the movies this week. Monday we went to see Narnia, Tuesday King Kong and Wednesday Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (I'm sure you are asking how that last one got thrown in to the mix but it was a nice change of pace).

Cheaper by the Dozen 2 was everything that you expected it to be and nothing more. It was a funnyish family comedy with all the usual punch lines and sentimental moments. A nice family rental.

Narnia was good, long but good. It kept my interest and the children were amazing actors. The special effects were great but the battle scene was a little G rated and parts of the story line felt a little rushed and the creatures looked a lot like Lord of the Rings.

King Kong was the one movie I did not want to see. It was everything that Narnia should have been and more. 187 minutes and I hid under my baseball cap for 63 of them. The effects were unbelievable and the story line was frustrating, funny, frightening and in the end devastating. Bar None one of the best movies I have ever seen and will never watch again. For me that is always the mark of a good movie, when I leave feeling drained and satisfied to never see it again.

Well those are your reviews for this week, enjoy.
