So much has happened the last few weeks, where to begin. Perhaps I should take this as an object lesson and blog more regularly. Here is the one paragraph summary:

School's out, helping highly stressed wife relax, got A's in my classes, started church softball league, went to Ellice's grandmother's in Tennessee with brother-in-law Evan in tow, went to Myrtle Beach in a week-long paradise-like vacation and I am going camping this weekend. Oh, and the Saga Edition of Star Wars Role-playing game came out, which I've really been looking forward to.

Okay two paragraphs. Movies we've seen and quick thoughts (Ratings out of 4 stars):
Next- Liked it a lot, Nick Cage on a good screen day. ***

Spiderman 3- Loved it, Don't know why so many people say it was "too long" or had too many bad guys. Hunh? Actually, I heard one person say there was too much action. Too much action?!?! ****

Shrek 3- Lotsa fun, probably not as good as the first, on par with the second. More of what we expect. Funny. ***

Pirates of the Caribbean 3- A little confusing at parts about who is backstabbing who, but very enjoyable. Better than the second film. Good acting, action, cinematography, etc. etc., very good movie. My wife says this is the best Orlando Bloom has looked. I can't speak to that, but Kiera Knightly did look great, so kudos to the makeup and costume people. Nice to Jack Sparrow's dad (Keith Richards). Very fun, a must own. Definitely will be a Pirates 4, so be on the lookout. ****

Knocked Up- Why in the world did we watch this movie? Horrible film. Truly awful. I have no idea why this got the reviews it did. Nothing like 40yr old virgin. All drug humor, and lame drug humor at that. The language was obnoxious and foul, and I'm not particularly sensitive to the f-word either. It was just bad. Only one character grew or changed at all. And they all needed to. I feel like less of a human being for watching this film. *
