long weekend
I have to say, I'm a fan of these long weekends. I got to go home and hang out with my family! I was going to go see my sister's marching band perform (she's a drum major!) but their performance was cancelled due to the weather. The upside is I did get to watch a recording of the band on video, though that's definitely not as cool as seeing the real thing. At any rate, I did see two movies this weekend! (well, watched one on DVD, saw one in theatres). So, thus returns my "Movie Thoughts!"
The first movie I watched this weekend was The Muppets take Manhattan. It's a pretty cute movie, and I think I remember seeing some of the scenes before.
I went to go see Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit at the movies. It was fantastic! Now, I've been a fan of the short films with these characters in the past, so when I originally saw previews of it, I was super excited. So, basically, this movie is hilarious. Take claymation characters, add some British accents and humor, an obsession with cheese and crazy inventions, adorable rabbits, telling facial expressions, and a little adult humor, and you've got one of the best movies I've seen in a while. It's just so incredibly funny! It's hard to explain the awesomeness of this movie without spilling the plot line, but I assure you, it will have you laughing (unless you don't like what I listed earlier).
Well, I'm typing this up on the train, so I can post it when I get back to campus, but we're about to reach South Station, so I'm going to have to end this here. Hope you all enjoyed the 4-day weekend!
