This week school started back for the second summer session. I only have one class, so it shouldn't be too bad. But there are the first day jitters and in a four week class, everything has to be done almost immediately. So, I've got my work cut out for me this month. I'll barely have time to blog about....
Live Free or Die Hard
We are big fans of the Die Hard movies, and I have come to expect a certain level of excitement, action, adventure, and general machismo. I was not dissapointed. McClane doesn't jump into this one on purpose either; once again, he's in the wrong place, at the wrong time. They even raised the bar on some of the stunts. Way cool. ***1/2
Rattatouille
I was thinking, okay, another Disney movie for Ellice. We just saw Die Hard 4 and I can watch a family movie with her, no prob. It will be mildly entertaining, and I might chuckle a couple of times. Far from it. This movie was vastly enjoyable, and downright hillarious at parts. The visuals of this Pixar movie are absolutely stunning; the motion sequences are incredible. This one is suitable for kids, but there is a lot of material that only adults will get. Only problem with this one is in the back of your mind you are thinking, it's still a rat in the kitchen. We'll get this one as well. ***

I've heard good things about Ratatouille and want to see it in theaters. (Nancy Drew I'm waiting for DVD or a quiet day, and what was the other one?) Fantastic Four 2 was thoroughly enjoyed...I'd have to agree with your review (but may only give 3-1/2 stars). Ruthie refused to see it as she didn't like FF1, which is unfathomable to me. Kaarin knows an extra, so I showed her FF1 on Monday. She liked FF2 and thought it better than FF1. I'd disagree with that, b/c I prefer the mix-ups learning about their new powers that FF1 has so much fun with. But at the same time, I guess I enjoyed it about the same...but for different reasons.
I think I'm being rather rambly and not too coherent. Hmmmm.
I own all 3 Die hard movies and love them, so I was excited to hear about this one. My son saw it and said just what you said. In fact, he thinks it's the best yet!
