Movie Review: The Green Lantern

Phwoar!!! Ryan Reynolds is hot in this.  Didn't particularly like him before, but I've changed my mind.

Who am I to say no to a free ticket to a movie??  Chook and I caught up to see this.  If there's a sequel, I'll be going!

Plot:  A test pilot is granted an alien ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers, as well as membership into an intergalactic squadron tasked with keeping peace within the universe.

Movie Review: The Help

My sister has recently separated from her husband and deserved a night out.  We started with dinner at Sizzler's, then went to see this.

We both were in tears when 'Minny' shared her story of the 'Terrible Awful'.  We could not stop laughing the whole way home. 

Plot:  An aspiring author during the civil rights movement of the 1960s decides to write a book detailing the African-American maids' point of view on the white families for which they work, and the hardships they go through on a daily basis.

Farewell Dan

This weekend was my last chance to catch up with Dan before she leaves next week for Georgia.

We went for a roast lunch at my mum's place and my nieces were there.  It was quite funny because they were all shy around her when they normally aren't.

Movie Review: Hanna

I had a couple of hours to kill while my car was being serviced so decided to see this.

Saoirse Ronan was scary in this.  A big departure from her role in The Lovely Bones (which I still liked even though the book was so much better)

Plot:  A 16-year-old who was raised by her father to be the perfect assassin is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a ruthless intelligence agent.

She Got It

Dan got the job!! She just rang me to let me know.  She flies out at the end of the month and is going to Georgia in Europe to teach English for 10 months.

I am going to miss her :(

Movie Review: Bridesmaids

This is why I don't want to be a bridesmaid..  All the hassle!!

Funny movie though.  Nearly wet myself over the bridal shop bit.

Plot:  Competition between the maid of honor and a bridesmaid, over who is the bride's best friend, threatens to upend the life of an out-of-work pastry chef.
