I know I'm asking for it

So. This weekend Sam and I had Christy and Erik over to watch Twilight. I read the book, I freakin talked it up on here, but I have a confession...

I think the Twilight series sucks.

First of all the books are a quick read, but I felt like nothing really happened. I kept waiting for the scary bits and the romantic bits and it was all sooooo "His pale skin" and "I want to be a vampire" blah blah blah.

The movie was way worse. The acting was ridiculous. The hair and makeup was stupid and I fell asleep. Ok, so bring the retort. I'm ready for you.



*ok, the books aren't that bad...just wanted to see what might happen if i said they were. the movie was terrible.

Movie Review: Wanted

Hope you all had a wonderful Fourth. Sam and I had a blast, we relaxed most of the day and then went to a bbq at a friend's house. It was so fun, there was amazing food, sparklers, great conversation, and great friends.



This morning Sam and I decided to go see Wanted starring Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, and James McAvoy. I was a little skeptical at first because I am not a big action movie person, but I was quickly spellbound by the amazing special effects and fast paced story line. I thought McAvoy was incredible as the anxious cublicle worker turned hero and Jolie as always was beautiful and captivating. Freeman is one of my favorite actors so I always enjoy him. Overall I loved the movie. Russian director Timur Bekmambetov is a master of effects and suspense. He made bullets drilling through heads incredible to watch. It was definitely not a family film and there is a lot of violence, but Wanted has the non stop action you want in a summer
blockbuster.

Homemade Grits Approved!!
