Summer Blockbusters!

I've seen a lot of movies lately. For me, at least. We've been going to Sundance 608 for Tuesday night 2-for-1 student tickets the past few weeks. Plus I have gotten serious about Netflix again. So, here we go, the movies and my mini-review:

27 Dresses. You know you want to see it. Katherine Heigl, like a non-annoying Anne Hathaway.

He's Just Not That Into You. Weirdly the opposite lesson as the book. Their Bennifer (Aniston and Affleck) is something I've been talking about a lot when drinking lately.

Man on Fire. We didn't finish it yet. Charlie mentioned the best part of the second half is going to be that Dakota Fanning isn't in it. Because, you know, she's been kidnapped.

Inside Man. Really good in the Denzel caper genre. A Spike Lee Joint, so had a 50% chance of being good. Delivered!

UP. Supercute. In 3D. Balloons most impressive?

The Hangover. Funny. I liked, but I think I already said that.

Rudo Y Cursi. Sweet and cute and I love Gael. Not predictable either, really.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona
. Like Spike, Woody has about a 50% success rate. Not sure I'd put this with the winners. Gosh, ScarJo is pretty and grating. Also, "Vicky" and "Cristina" are two different characters, not Penelope Cruz's name... this is apparently a common misconception. At least at our house.

Spring Break!

Hi guys. This afternoon we leave on spring break. The dog is washed, homemade energy bars are made, sleeping bags have been located, laundry has been done. Last spring break ever, I am very, very sure. And the first break (winter or spring, I guess) in 3 years I haven't gone to New Orleans. We're driving to Colorado, then Arizona/New Mexico/Utah. Kind of crazy, should be mostly awesome. There are some interviews to be done down there, but also some hiking and camping and chilling. This morning Charlie asked if I was bringing homework. I thought about it... and said... no! He said he might bring some books. Like reading for fun books? If we can get this job thing squared away, post-Law School is looking awesome. Anyway, I am going to try to update this from the road.

See you in a week!
