Summer Movies: Brandy Gets Out of The House Occasionally

I dragged my dear old husband to the sparkle vamp movie. I got elbowed for laughing too much. It was like every scene, the director said, "Now, show me INTENSE!" and they did.

And for the record ... I am 100% team Jacob. Wow. Holy Wow. Grrrrr. Rawwwr. Who wants Mr. Frigid when Mr. Naked with a Sense of Humor and a Pulse is there??? Seriously.

This movie would have been better if:

1. There were more musical numbers (the song Hungry Like the Wolf, perhaps).
2. There was more nudity.
3. Any of the characters had an ounce of depth.
4. Monkeys.
5. Maybe a wizard.

If you'd like to see a really amazing good movie, let me direct you to Inception. It twists your brain up quite nicely and ends perfectly.

Some movie makers are Michelangelos and other make movies with talking chihuahuas.

I like my guys smart. So many witty, smart, hot, TALENTED actors in here.

Things that made this movie awesome (besides hot guys):

1. Great tight dialogue. No blah blah blah, did you get that stupid audience?? We said BLAH BLAH BLAH!

2. Brilliant acting. Good characters we care about; relationships; interactions; humor. Reality.

3. Freaking awesome special effects. I thought, "Wow, I know those are special effects, but they are awesome AND help the plot. Wow. Cool."

4. The excitement of trying to figure things out and never knowing if I did and feeling fine about it.

5. Left the movie with a brain full of ideas and good conversation on the way home.

Toy Story 3 is really good, too. The best part was that the theater we went to had the front row of seat up like 8 feet up so Sagan could run around in the front of the theater and be a noisy brat and I didn't have to miss the most awesome Pixar Movie to date. They always make me cry, those jerks.
