Monsters vs. Aliens

Kevin and I, being the Disney/Pixar/Dreamwork experts that we are, and after several requests (fine just one....from my dad) have decided to become movie critics. 

Last night we went to review Dreamworks, "Monsters vs. Aliens" 3D at the Imax

My first impression once the movie was completed was simple but yet of vital significance to this review; "loved it" 

Kevin's however was "the 3D isn't as good as Disney's" I'm not exactly sure what kind of credentials he has to make this judgement, but there you have it.  

I don't really know anything about animation, however I would have to comment that the animations is nothing short of stunning and dressed to the nine in 3D. This movie was filmed in Tru3-D which really immerses you into the cartoon world. I had to do a double take as I was exiting the cinema, it was that good. Which is why I strongly believe that viewing it at the Imax is the only way to enjoy this motion feature. But like I said, I don't really know anything about animation.

As for the plot, it was not up to par with it's Pixar competitors. Honestly, who is ever going to top Toy Story? 

All in all, we would say this movie is fun for the whole family and it is worth the trek to the imax to truly enjoy this film.

We give it 4 stars! 

(Please note my stars are on the same scale as the Michelin scale)

Big Mistake

Kevin talked me into going to look at dogs at the Humane Society Centre this weekend. My one condition was, if we go, we would not be leaving with a dog.
I should have never agreed to it, as Kevin apparently met his soul mate (I'm still trying to figure out what this makes me.) For the past couple of days all I've heard is "Romeo this" and "Romeo that"
It's not that I hate dogs. It's that I hate big dogs. Note that Romeo, Kevy's new "bestfriend", is only 4 months old and currently weighing in at 35 pounds. Now I am not fantastic at maths or knew that much about pit bulls, but already 35 pounds at 4 months....not happening!
Until Kevin is willing to look at dogs that weigh 20 pounds fully grown, we are done here.

For now, all Kevin will have is this picture and a distant memory of a half hour with his precious Romeo. Whereas, I will have to hear about this the rest of my life. 

Sleep Over

Busy saturday + only one set of sheets + forgetting you hadn't put your sheets in the dryer = sleep over in the living room! 

Let The Challenge Begin

I probably shouldn't have waited to record this so late at night. As we all know I don't perform as well in the evenings. However, Kevin is not likely to record me circa 8AM when I am at my finest.  However, a challenge is a challenge and this video doesn't make any less serious.

The Nicki With The Fringe On Top

I was going to change the lyrics of Oklahoma's "The Surrey With Fringe On Top". But, due to a high amount of pressure to get a picture up of my fringe, you get zero creativity. I hope you're happy!
