Saturday Night Movie
Here you go - parody of Nickelback's Rockstar (my current ringtone 'cause it's awesome!).

Saturday Night Movie
The translation for the opening comment, "usually, it clear who is chasing who."
An elkie doing what she's bred to do.

Saturday Night Movie
Since my birthday was this week, I thought this was an appropriate video. Thankfully, there is no recorded evidence that I ever had such trouble blowing out candles.

Saturday Night Movie
Here's one of my dirty little secrets. I like Bollywood movies. There's something about the musical pieces that are just addictive to watch to me. So here's a video I found on youtube that is - to me - a total throwback to the 80's a la Michael Jackson.

Saturday Night Movie
I'm putting this up because I thought it was funny. What do you expect, I live in the Bay Area and enjoy NPR. Yes, I drank the Kool-Aid and went back for more.
Expect more political stuff as we head closer to the General Election. Even though both parties are really ticking me off at this point, I have to vote for someone. "Staying home" to "make a point" is idiotic to me.

Saturday Night Movie
I've always like Robert Downey Jr., and the "Tony Stark" looks is good for him. Jack Black just makes me laugh. Ben Stiller - it depends. And Gladys Knight, well, she's awesome. This is a cool video. If you didn't watch the American Idol finals, here is Gladys Knight and one version of the Pips.

Saturday Night Movie
I really needed an Elkhound fix tonight. I found this video on youtube:
Two things that are true about this video. Yes, elkhound pups will chew on anything. I still have the evidence of that on a number of bookshelves that were perfect for teething. Yes, they love to wrestle. It gets more interesting when two of them are doing it in your living room when one weights 75 lbs and the other 55 lbs. The lighter one was my old girl and she would kick his 5 year younger butt every time.
You have to admit, they are awful cute as puppies. It almost makes me want to get one. Then I have to remember the training, housebreaking, teething, and basic mischief they get into. A bored elkie is a wiley elkie.

Saturday Night Movie
We went to the Drive In tonight. We're lucky we still have one, and it's a 5 minute drive from the house. With the penny pinching we have to do, a picnic dinner and two movies for $13.50 is a bargain.
We saw Speed Racer and Baby Mama. We thought we might hate Speed Racer, Rotten Tomatoes showing a less than 40% favorable rating. With all the seizure inducing flashing colors, like a neon festival on crack, we didn't expect much. But we were pleasantly surprised.
It borrowed enough of the original cartoon series to provide some nostalgic comfort (for Kevin) without alienating those who weren't fans, or watched infrequently (like me). At 2hrs and 15 min, it was a long movie, but didn't drag much. It was a popcorn kind of movie, though we ate fried chicken and broccoli salad. Popcorn came later, as did Scharffen Berger chocolate. Mmmmmm.
The movie was rated PG, and there were a lot of kids at the Drive In. There were a lot of people in general. The last time we were there, we saw half as many people. As the summer warms, we will go back, with camping chairs and more picnic food.
Decent plot, not too hard to follow. It's colorful, but not strobing. I would say this is a family movie, but little boys (size or disposition) may have a need for speed after this one.
Baby Mama with Tina Fey and Amy Pohler was a fun little movie, had it's moments. If not part of this double feature, it would have been a DVD rental for me. Movies that try to be funny and meaningful miss more than hit a home run. Steve Martin had a memorable role, but that's only because we live in the greater San Francisco Bay Area community and experience that kind of character in real life. Infertility is a sensitive subject, and I have mixed feelings after watching this. Probably because I'm childless and the whole subject is a touchy one with me already. The parts were well played, and the characters were interesting.
I wonder what we will see next week. Probably won't have time to see one, since we are visiting my mom. The weekend after that - watch out! Here comes Indy!

Saturday Night Movie - Review
Today was the start of the Summer Movie Season. We went to see our first matinée in many months. We got our tickets, popcorn and soda. One word describes this movie - AWESOME!
Official Website
I was surprised that Iron Man ran 126 minutes - it felt longer. That isn't a bad thing, though. Having read Marvel Comics, mostly X-Men, I have enjoyed a story arc or two of Iron Man's. They hinted at SHIELD and War Machine towards the end, which could make for interesting sequels. The story, just as with most Marvel movies, doesn't fall completely true to the Marvel Universe, but in this case, that's ok.
Robert Downey, Jr. is fantastic, and even if you don't like movies based on comics, he's worth seeing. He is a wonderful actor and brought a great performance. If you like comic books, Downey is Tony Stark. If they pursue the Marvel Universe story, the sequel could deal with Tony's alcoholism, and I think Downey could bring a lot of depth to the role under those circumstances.
People get blown up, there are scenes of Tony being tortured by Arab terrorists, there is death. There are no body parts, but some of the scenes may be too intense for small children, though there were plenty at the theater for a 2:30 pm show. It has a PG-13 rating, because there is some "adult content" (Tony hooks up with a reporter - no nudity).
If you want a story were someone finally "sees the light" and wants to "change their ways" and "do the right thing", this is one of those movies. It's a popcorn kind of movie - go see it. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 93%, their highest of the year!
