Movie Review: The Tooth Fairy

Danielle and I both enjoyed a little bit of shopping plus neck & shoulder massages before going to see this.

It was a nice bit of 'fluff' to watch as neither of us was in the mood to watch a serious movie. I could just watch that body all day... *sigh*

Plot: Derek Thompson is 'The Tooth Fairy,' a hard-charging minor league hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster's hopes, he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth" – bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes…doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams

Sunday Drive

Had to get up early this morning to drop Danielle off at church. Since it was a beautiful day I thought I would head down to Fremantle for a change.

Had a wander through both markets but didn’t buy anything.

On the drive home I stopped off at Burns Beach and went for a walk along the beach – was so peaceful.

Movie Review: The Princess And The Frog

Nothing else was on that Re or I wanted to see, so ended up seeing this.

Typical Disney film, but a nice twist on the fairytale.

Plot: A modern day retelling of the classic story The Frog Prince. The Princess and the Frog finds the lives of arrogant, carefree Prince Naveen and hardworking waitress Tiana crossing paths. Prince Naveen is transformed into a frog by a conniving voodoo magician and Tiana, following suit, upon kissing the amphibian royalty. With the help of a trumpet-playing alligator, a Cajun firefly, and an old blind lady who lives in a boat in a tree, Naveen and Tiana must race to break the spell and fulfill their dreams.

Movie Review: Avatar 3D

I have finally been able to catch up with Ace to see this!!

We planned on seeing it months ago, but both of us have been busy over the Christmas/New Year period, making it difficult to catchup.

I can see why they are saying good things about this movie... IT IS AWESOME!!!

I want to see it in 2D, just to compare, I don't think it will be as good as 3D but, I won't mind seeing it again, and again, and again...

Plot: An ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people.

Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes

I had an enjoyable time watching this, even though it was a bit long.

Both Robert Downey Jnr & Jude Law were awesome in this - definitely must see on the big screen , especially when they are fighting with 'Dredger'!! I love that character!!

Plot: Detective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.

Another Sleepover

Had the second oldest niece sleep over last night.

After having McDonalds for tea we went to the beach and then home.

I have watched Hairspray 3 times in less than 24 hours (she loves it!!) I don't think I will be watching it for quite some time!!

Happy New Year - 2010

Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2010 will be a good year for you all!!

Had a lovely get together in the complex where I live, eating, drinking and chatting.

Sleepover

My oldest niece stayed over last night.

We went to the beach after dinner and she was trying to build a sandcastle with dry sand as she wouldn't go near the water to get some wet sand. Eventually she did and ended up getting taken out by a wave when she had her back turned. It was so funny!

She was out in front of the television by 9 o’clock. I had to prod her awake to get her off to bed.

The little bugger then woke me up at 6.30 wanting to know how to turn the television on - I had shown her 3 times the night before!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope it was filled with family and laughs (I know mine was)
