I also managed to go out in the world and catch up on movies! I used to go the Tuesday matinee (free popcorn day!) for years but now I see less than 3-4 movies per year (including DVD and TV). Pitiful life these days lol
Anyway….I saw Warm Bodies – I loved it! Very sweet and funny zombie rom com. It is also hardcore zombie lover husband approved. Although Kevin did like the *bad* zombies more than the humanized ones.
I took my dad to see Oz the Great and Powerful. It was a little too long but I enjoyed it more than I thought it would. Had quite a few laughs and fun story. 83 year old Dad approved and the kids in the audience really loved it. They were clapping at the end.
I finally watched Snow White and the Huntsman last night. Not bad. Not great – but not bad. I wasn’t really attached to any of the characters but the story moved along and the visuals were great.
On to the wrap-up! (I’m including a few weeks in here since I haven’t done a wrap-up in a while)
Reviews:
Unremembered by Jessica Brody – Not bad but I’ve read too many similar stories of late so this one wasn’t for me
Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers – I loved Dark Triumoh more htan Grave Mercy. It’s darker and Sybella’s story is heartbreaking yet hopeful.
Mini reviews: trust in Me, Strong Enough to Love – two quick, sexy reads!
This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith – I wanted to love this one….but….too sweet for me.
Mini reviews: X Marks the Scot, Lady of Pleasure, Demon's Bride – A trio of great reads

I'm glad you're back on a roll w/the blog! It seems I only get to see kids movies anymore. It seems Oz was either a hit-or-miss, but looks visually stunning. I still want to see Snow White & the Huntsman, if only for Chris Hemsworth.
ReplyDeleteOz wasn't great but it wasn't awful. that's my ringing endorsement lol
DeleteI liked how it went from B&W to technicolor. It was actually kind of cheesy but I *think* that was the intention.
The easter bunny has always been a little creepy! Those pictures were great! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have some funny Easter Bunny pics. I should dig them out for next year lol
DeleteHe always has those big empty eyes. Like he's dead inside!
I so gotta see warm bodies
ReplyDeleteI want to see Warm Bodies. I saw OZ and was a little disappointed, but it was a fun time. I liked Snow White very much actually...I usually hate KS, but I thought she wasn't bad in it. Maybe b/c she didn't have a lot of lines? : p
ReplyDeleteI thought I was going to hate Oz so it was ok for me. Lowered expectations can be a wonderful thing lol
DeleteSame with SWatH. I didn't hate KS as much as I thought I would so it was alright. She also didn't bite her lip at all. Baby steps...
Warm Bodies was sooooo much fun. I really want to see Oz. Glad you got to venture out into the world. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see Warm Bodies.
