Movie Talk

Well, last weekend my husband and I took the kids (teenage boys) to see Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. What a disappointment! The boys liked it, but I didn't. While the costumes and sets were breathtaking, the writing was well below par-even for this genre. Wait for the video.

Of the movies I have been wanting to see this year, I have so far viewed Hellboy 2, Wanted, Get Smart, Iron Man, Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, Speed Racer, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Hancock. The best one, in my opinion, has been Iron Man. I would love to see it again on the big screen and I am planning to purchase it on DVD. Get
Smart and Harold and Kumar were funny. I'm glad I saw them at the theater. I also enjoyed Wanted and Speed Racer. Hancock was OK. Indiana Jones was disappointing.

I am planning to see The Dark Knight tonight with my husband.

Lost without my Camera

I lost my camera a few days ago, and I am going nuts! I take so many pictures, every week. It's my current artistic outlet. We went to Blobfest yesterday, and I didn't have my camera. I hadn't realized how much more fun I have when I am taking pictures. Blobfest was OK, but it would have been much better if I had my camera.

Movie Talk

Well, we went to see Wanted last week. I liked it, it was a fun movie. The unreality was way over the top. I still prefer Iron Man and would love to see it again in the theater (would that I had the time). We are planning to see Hancock today, which looks like it will be funny.

I am really looking forward to The Dark Knight. I am a huge Batman fan. I used to collect Batman comics and graphic novels. It looks to me like Heath Ledger portrayed Joker the way he is written in the comic books, extremely sadistic. If so, it will not be appropriate for children-believe me.

Been a Long Time

Wow, it's been a while since I blogged. I was so sick about a week and a half ago. I had an ear infection. I thought ear infections were for babies and toddlers! Wow, that ear infection took hold of me and didn't want to let go. Anyway, I'm baaaaaack. :)

Lyrics in my brain - (music that keeps popping into my mind)

"You can spend all your time makin' money. You can spend all your love makin' time."

380-Million-Year-Old Fossil of a Fish that Gives Birth to Live Young

A 380-million-year-old fish fossil (Materpiscis attenboroughi) was discovered in Australia. It is unique because it was complete with an embryo and intact umbilical cord. This kind of fish gave birth to live young as opposed to fish that release eggs that are then fertilized outside of the body.

Entertainment Gleanings

Yes, I have scoured the corners of the entertainment world to find the latest entertainment news.

MTV Movie Awards - Yes, this Sunday night at 8PM ET is the live broadcast of the MTV Movie Awards. Forget the Oscars, so lame and outdated. The MTV Movie Awards rule. They're fun, they're entertaining, they have the most original categories (best kiss, best villain, best fight). Hosted by Mike Myers.

Weezer - Their new self-titled album is due out this week. June 3, 2008

Square Pegs on DVD - I loved this show when it was on TV. Available now on DVD. Jamie Gertz and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Dispatches from the Island - Check out Jorge Garcia's blog (Hurley from Lost).

Lost Dream

All right. I had a weird Lost dream, but I can't stop thinking about it and wondering if it would fit in at all. I dreamt that when Ben moved the island, everyone on the island split into two-they became two people. Two John Lockes, etc.
