Movie Review Saturday

Okay we went to the movies tonight. It was so hot that it was better to go to the movies and stay cool then stay home in the air conditioning. We checked the time and decided to go see Monster House.

The movie is basically about three kids DJ (Mitchel Musso), Chowder (Sam Lerner), and Jenny (Spencer Locke) discover that the house across the street from DJ's is alive. It eats anything that goes on its property. They try to convince the babysitter (Maggie Gyllenhaal), the police, and some weirdo named Skull (Jon Heder). They try to unravel the mystery of the house and they have to go inside to find that the house is voiced by Kathleen Turner. Oh my god, it's Kathleen Turner! Run for the hills! Anyway, this movie is PG-rated ( I copied the plot summary so I didn't have to remember...LOL)

Okay so my almost teen Wolfie (age 11 1/2) just liked it. "It was a good movie" Wolfie just said. Rob liked it. He liked the graphics were really good and it had a really good storyline. Lexi my 6 year old didn't like it. She said it was a little creepy. Funny she loved the new Pirates of the Caribbean and never covered her ears or eyes. (Thanks to my sis's family for taking my kiddos to see Jack Sparrow) I thought that it was a very loud and intense at times. I had to cover my eyes a few times. I don't like movies that have things jump out at you. The only good redeaming thing about the movie was Jon Hedar was the voice of one of the characters and was funny.

So the consenses is:

Boys : Thumbs Up
Scale from 1-10
Rob: 8
Wolfie: 8

Girls : Thumbs Down
Scale from 1-10
Steph: 4
Lexi: 1

On a good note there is a new movie coming out with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.

It's called Night at the Museum. Here's what it's about :

Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), despite being perpetually down on his luck, thinks he's destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined how "big," when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. During Larry's watch, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighboring exhibits and a T-Rex reminds everyone why he's history's fiercest predator. Amidst the chaos, the only person Larry can turn to for advice is a wax figure of President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), who helps our hero harness the bedlam, stop a nefarious plot, and save the museum.

I'm not sure what it's rated but Wolfie can't wait to see this one!!!!
