Night at the Museum

We saw “Night at the Museum” today. For the second time actually. Most people probably blow it off as a kiddie movie, but it’s very good. Ben Stiller is funny, and Owen Wilson, and whoever the guy is that plays Octavius. I like movies that you always find yourself quoting after seeing it (“Johnny English”). This is definitely one of those. Don’t listen to the critics, the nearly full theater was laughing throughout.

“Eragon”

We saw the movie Eragon today. It was good. I have never read the book, but I’m sure there is plenty of stuff left out in the movie, which is annoying since it’s only a little over an hour and a half long, it’s not like they were trying to squeeze into a bearable length of time. The other thing I didn’t like, is since it’s only rated PG, all of the battles were watered down… a lot.

But as a whole the movie is very enjoyable, I’d see it again, and I look forward to the next two parts of the trilogy.

Happy Feet

We just saw Happy Feet tonight. It was okay. It wasn’t as funny as I though it was going to be. But it was still good. My mom and sisters said that it was “cute.” Whatever that means. I’d watch it again, and I’m sure it will make it into the nightly movie rotation at our house, but it wasn’t as good as Ice Age (1 or 2), Shark Tale, or Shrek, as far as animated movies go.

On the way home from the movie we were having a conversation with Anna and Emma regarding the pronunciation of “Wisconsin.” Emma seemed sure that it is “Muh-scon-sin,” but I think she was playing us.
