Movie Review: Clash Of The Titans 3D

2 Gold Class movies in less than 24hours... pretty good eh?!

I had to use them up because they expired in a few days and what better way then a long weekend?

Sam Worthington is pretty hot property right now after Avatar. I was a tad confused because I have not long ago seen Percy Jackson And The Lightening Thief, and in that movie, Perseus (Percy) was the son of Poseidon, God of Water. In this movie he is the son of Zeus. So which is it Hollywood? Make up your mind!!

I could have done with some nice shots of Sam's naked chest, but darn those outfits still made him look HOT!

Plot: The mortal son of the god Zeus embarks on a perilous journey to stop the underworld and its minions from spreading their evil to Earth as well as the heavens.

Movie Review: Alice In Wonderland 3D

I treated my mum to see this in Gold Class as an early Mother's Day present because I had no idea what else to get her.

I have been saying since I saw the first images that Johnny Depp looks like Madonna in this!

Amazing! Is the only way to describe it. Depp is brilliant (but he nearly always is). Anne Hathaway does not 'do' white blonde well (especially with those eyebrows). Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar is reminiscent of Professor Snape from Harry Potter.

Plot: Alice, an unpretentious and individual 19-year-old, is betrothed to a dunce of an English nobleman. At her engagement party, she escapes the crowd to consider whether to go through with the marriage and falls down a hole in the garden after spotting an unusual rabbit. Arriving in a strange and surreal place called "Underland," she finds herself in a world that resembles the nightmares she had as a child, filled with talking animals, villainous queens and knights, and frumious bandersnatches. Alice realizes that she is there for a reason--to conquer the horrific Jabberwocky and restore the rightful queen to her throne.

Hurting

A sadness in my heart
Borne out of despair
A loved one is hurting
When I can't be there

Movie Review: Date Night

I had an awesome time today...

Danielle and I caught up to go see this. I've never seen any of either Steve Carell's or Tina Fey's work before and enjoyed their chemistry together on screen. We were laughing so hard we were almost wetting ourselves!!

I drove Danielle home and we were going to head up to a restaurant up the road from her place )she's around the corner from the Paddo!) but decided to pick up a hot chicken, some bread and salad and eat in instead... ambrosia!!

My Mood

If you ask me how I feel
I will only give you lies
If you want to know the truth
Then you must look into my eyes

Movie Review: How To Train Your Dragon

I just wanted to get out of the house for a bit - was going a bit stir crazy - so ended up going to see this. I must say it is pretty good story, and I love Gerard Butler's character in this!!

Plot: Long ago up North on the Island of Berk, the young Viking, Hiccup, wants to join his town's fight against the dragons that continually raid their town. However, his macho father and village leader, Stoik the Vast, will not allow his small, clumsy, but inventive son to do so. Regardless, Hiccup ventures out into battle and downs a mysterious Night Fury dragon with his invention, but can't bring himself to kill it. Instead, Hiccup and the dragon, whom he dubs Toothless, begin a friendship that would open up both their worlds as the observant boy learns that his people have misjudged the species. But even as the two each take flight in their own way, they find that they must fight the destructive ignorance plaguing their world.

Deep Thought For Today

Sometimes in life we travel the harder path
Lessons we are meant to learn
Making us stronger for the future
Shaping the person we are to become
