  • 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 Rod

    Yes, 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.
