We are headed to the 4:15 Spiderman 3. Thanks Eli Kirk for being such a cool employer! We’ll let ya’ll know how it goes. Chase might be coming with us, so maybe we won’t make it the whole time. 🙁

This movie was a good date movie. Lots of laughs, more laughs if you are sitting in front of a row of 8 year old girls like we were. I liked it a lot, Joy liked it but classified it as a kid’s movie. I agree kids would laugh more, but it’s still funny even if you hate kids. Go check it out if you’re bored. Anyone else see this? What’d ya think?

We watched Zoom last night, a Disney Sony movie that is based on the kid super hero stuff. It was very funny (if you’re 2 or very tired), it had a ton of famous people, and I gather it was one of those where actors have to make x number of movies for a movie company in a year so how about we cram everyone into this one so we can count it as one. It was 200% cheesy and we usually laughed b/c of over the top cheese. One more important thing, Tracy stars in this movie. It was freaky weird sometimes how much this girl looked like Tracy.

Wow! TWO BIG THUMBS UP on this one! I loved it. If you are looking for a good movie, grab this one and go into it blind. I had little idea what this movie was about when we started watching it, and I was so so pleased with the outcome. Don’t get your hopes up, this isn’t the next star wars or anything, they actaully didn’t mix a single sound effect into the rear audio track, BUT even with that poor decision, this movie still entertained me more than the last FOUR movies we’ve watched. The only tihng I wish to have seen on the DVD was an alternate ending option

Did you guys see this one? what did you think?

Two movies to review today. The Illusionist and Invincible. We watched The Illusionist last weekend and I enjoyed it alot! We had no idea what it was just that it had magic in it. Well it turned out to be a chick flick with enough magic to keep me interested. So it worked out great. I highly recommend getting it at the Redbox for a $1 or free. Last night we watched the Disney movie Invincible which is a bit old, but we have a baby so… it was good too, a feel good movie, but one of those you don’t need to watch every week. SO if you are bored this coming week hit the movie place and grab The Illusionist and a significant other, or if you’re feeling down and need some hope besides the Atonement, then grab Invincible. Next on the list is The Prestige… anyone like that one?

This is the coolest website I’ve ever learned about from the 10 o’clock news! PropertyRoom.com sells all the stuff people steal and get caught with, that people never come get b/c they stole it in the first place! Isn’t that cool. You can pick up an Xbox 360 for 250 or a Unix Server for 1.00. Check it out, but men beware, I found myself surfing around for a bit, especially when I saw military items and golf items! 😮

Just thought I’d share this review with you in case anyone thinks of getting this monster.

The Root 6 may look like some sort of pneumatic drill from the future, but its hard-core vacuum lineage makes for a serious sucking machine. This handheld vac easily devoured everything from rocks to bobby pins in our tests. But it’s also extremely noisy, roaring at roughly the same decibel level as an industrial sucker five times its size. What’s more, you only get a paltry six minutes of battery life from a three-hour charge. While suction power is unmatched and the iconic design nets mad style points, miniscule battery life makes the Root 6 ill equipped to pick up little more than an pile of Cheerios. – Erika Stalder

The Black Friday sales weren’t bad around here. I got a few things that we’ve been wanting for a while, for cheap. It was fun, but I can’t say I was as into it as most of the residents of Utah that flooded the stores at 5am if not earlier. Pace was out that early, just because he was still awake, and he said there were people lined up galore outside the stores. A few items I wanted were definitely long gone by the time Rachel, Chase and I straggled in at like 9:30 am. It seems like this would not really be the case, but it appears as though Utahans in general love STUFF!!! Stuff, stuff and more stuff. But one thing I got that I would like to recommend to parents or future parents is this cd I bought for Chase (well, for all of us, really), entitled “A Child’s Prayer.” It’s very peaceful and, as Pace described it, “boring.” But I love it because it makes me feel a little calmer while putting Chase to bed, which is an ordeal since he tends to despise sleep these days. I don’t know if this cd will really make your kids “internalize gospel messages as they fall asleep” as the ad on the Deseret Book website claims, but hey, it’s nice to listen to anyway!
