An Unlikely Winner
Do you know what movie rocks?
STARDUST
WHAT!??!?!
YES--that movie that looked totally lame in all of the previews--that one was awesome!
We totally went on a whim / recommendation from H-marsh and we were all totally surprised. And when I say totally surprised, I mean we were flabbergasted by how good it is. Unbelievable.
It was marketed all wrong. All of the trailers and previews I saw looked bad. However, it has been getting rave reviews and has been hailed as the next "Princess Bride". I concur--it was a wonderful story that never took itself too seriously. It was grand and epic when it was supposed to be, and charming and funny in the most perfect moments. I really recommend this movie!!Christy says it is her favorite movie of the summer, and I put it fourth or fifth.
Here's my picks favs this summer:
1) Live Free or Die Hard
2) Transformers
3) Bourne Ultimatum
4) Knocked Up (funny but filthy--I don't recommend)
5) Stardust
6) The Simpsons Movie
7) Harry Potter and the Order of the yeah yeah you know...
8) Evan Almighty
9) Spiderman 3
10) Hot RodYes, I liked Hot Rod better than Oceans 13, Pirates, Fantastic Four, Chuck & Larry, and all of the other stuff I saw this summer.
It's crazy that summer is almost over!YOU WILL LOVE STARDUST. Go see it.

I'm so glad you guys liked it as much as you did!! I know, I totally think it's going to become a classic. Sooooo good! (But dude, it was better than Knocked Up. Don't be ridiculous).
Have fun today!
WHAT? You liked TRANSFORMERS more than The Bourne Ultimatum?
I will never speak to you again. (ok, I'll probably talk to you tomorrow or something)
WHAT? You thought Knocked up was that high on the list? You're crazy. And yes, this movie was number 1 or 2 for me this summer. And I've seen like, 12 movies at least.
Hmmm, I need a good relaxing diversion this weekend. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hmmm . . . after 2 recommendations, I guess I might have to give it a try. It just looks totally stupid from the commercials.
It DOES look totally stupid- but it's totally not.
