Well – since I got a few comments saying they’d enjoy hearing what movies we’ve been enjoying I decided I’d start. (thanks to my pal Molly<\/a> for the inspiration on making my “review” frame) My reviews are going have a possible 5 stars. And just so you know a little about the “reviewer” (me), I studied film a lot in college (my major was Costume Design for Film), BUT I’m not a movie snob, nor am I horrible picky. I’m pretty easy to please.<\/p>\n

First up – one of our Netflix movies. “The Chronicals of Narnia: Prince Caspian”. And I give it . . .<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Major disappointment. I absolutely LOVED “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. I still love it. Heck – I could watch it right now! So, I had high hopes for this next one in the series. But for some reason we just missed seeing it in the theaters. Thank goodness for that, because it was really lame. SOOOOO LONG. Really slow and boring. The storyline wasn’t captivating at all. There were a few moments when I felt something emotional – but it was just because of the Christian message behind the story. Otherwise – it was a snooze-fest. \u00a0Plus, the ending is STUPID. I’m not surprised Disney opted out of making more of them. \u00a0I’d say skip it.<\/p>\n

And as to not leave it on such a downer review, here is one we Tivoed and watched the other night. “Little Miss Sunsine”. And I give it . . .<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We don’t see rated R movies, so we had to wait to catch this one once it was edited for TV. You know it won all sorts of awards and was so well reviewed, so I expected it to be good. It was GREAT. I don’t think I’ll be giving out 5 star ratings all that often, but this one totally deserved it. \u00a0It is the perfect mixture of funny, touching, sad, and joyful. Every actor in it was incredible. ALL of them. It was like a breath of fresh air after watching the previous movie. After it was over Josh said, “See – you don’t need three hours of special effects, fancy scores, and all that to make a great movie”. I TOTALLY agree. It was an incredible movie. I know the language was harsh – so I personally wouldn’t recommend seeing the R version, but record it the next time its on TV and ENJOY!!<\/p>\n

Ok – I’ll wrap up this post with a few scrapbook pages I’ve been working on.<\/p>\n

Minna (MiraDesigns<\/a>) came out with some really cute new alphas today. I used one of them called “Metal Wire Alpha<\/a>” in this page. I dug out these older photos from Father’s Day 2006.<\/p>\n

These pictures are from the birthday party we had for the twins in Oct. ’07. (Am I the only one who scraps COMPLETELY out of order?!)<\/p>\n

This is a page I created with pics from this Christmas morning and an AWESOME template I got from Sweet Shoppe Designs.<\/p>\n

And this is what I did for the Speed Scrap last night (again, pics from this Christmas morning). It was a really fun one. I’m glad I was able to do it! I can’t wait for tomorrow afternoon<\/a>‘s Speed Scrap too!<\/p>\n

And a lot of people have been asking me “What are “dysons?” haha. \u00a0Dysons are these AMAZING brand of vacuums. We have the full size upright Dyson & we (my brothers and I) got these little hand-held versions from Santa this Christmas. We were all really excited! Great gift. Thanks Santa!<\/p>\n

Alrighty – that is enough from me. Time for bed I think! See ya later.<\/p>\n
