Hooray, a movie to see!

I was overjoyed with the prospect of a new movie to go see. With my sweetheart out of town, I was quickly bummed at the realization that I wouldn't be going. As it so happened though, I went with my mom instead! It was so fun!










Last night was opening night of "Thor". I love me a good superhero movie. Curtis doesn't, so I knew he wouldn't care if I went. It's really weird but he only likes "Spiderman".





BOR-ing! Don't get me wrong, I like Spiderman, too. It's just that I feel that you can never have enough superheros in this world. There are so many bad guys that need a whoopin'.



Enter "Thor". This movie was a study in contradictions (p.s. this is not a spoiler):



~It had some great special effects and some hokey special effects. A flying hammer? Puh-leaze! That was weirdee!

~It had an interesting story line, but was a little too slow in some parts. Okay, really slow in some parts.

~It had a little romance going on, but it never actually went anywhere (okay, maybe that spoiled it for you). There really was never a reason for the main gal to like the delusional viking. For all we know, the only reason Natalie Portman liked the blond giant was his....errr....rockin' body (there I said it). He had a ripped torso which you get ample view of. But he had weird eyebrows. I don't know if I could have gotten past those eyebrows. She does get to kiss him in the end, eyebrows and all.

~It was funny quite often, but not enough. Not like "Ironman". "Ironman" was downright hilarious. There is a reference to "Ironman" in this one.

~There was a villain, but you just feel kind of sorry for him most of the time. I'm not telling who it is.



Anyhow, here's my recommendation.: See it with low expectations of anything intellectual. It's a popcorn flick. There is no cussing and no intimate scenes. Just a reeeeeally loooooong shot of a rockin' body. Go with the girlfriends. If you are with your husband you'll have to figure out how to look away while not looking away. Know what I mean?



Oh, and stay through the credits. You know movies these days, sticking a little teaser of what's to come at the end.

P.S. Curtis actually went and saw it last night in Utah with his brothers. In 3-D. Phsshhhh.
What-ev. Doesn't he know that 3-D is over-rated?
