Mega Movie Post

Okay, I just came back from a short weekend vacation. ;)  As we often do when vacationing together, my lovely (birthday girl!!!!!!) cousin, Chibi, and I watched movies!

We saw.....
Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and The Last Crusade
Star Wars Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope
The Muppets
A Very Potter Musical (not exactly a movie, but we watched the majority of the first show...XD)
and
How To Train your Dragon: Gift of the Night Fury

I'll quickly review them for you all....;)  Because I love movies and had a ton of fun watching them!

~~~~

I will review The Last Crusade first, because I liked it INFINITELY better.  XD

Stars:  8/10 stars
Liked:  It was a good movie!  It had good scenes, funny dialogue, and it showed Indy's relationship with his dad.  I loved the history of the Holy Grail, and everything that happened in the climax/ending.
Disliked:  The girl.  I don't even remember her name, honestly.  XD  There were also a few /slower/ parts, that I had already seen the first time I watched this movie and didn't feel like seeing again.  XD
Favorite Scene: Like I said, the ending.  I loved how Indy really loved his dad and was willing to risk his own life to save his father's.  :)  DRAMA!!!! ;)
Overall Thoughts:  Great movie!!!!  Family friendly for the most part, and full of action!!!  My second favorite Indy film.  :)

~~~~

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull:

Stars: 3/10
Liked: The music....a /few/ quotes.....some of the action....that's it....
Disliked:  The whole movie.  XD  I did NOT like this movie AT ALL.  I hated the scene with all the ants (I HAD NIGHTMARES.  I have a bad fear of bugs...) and I didn't like that Indy *SPOILER* married *END SPOILER* Marion.  She's not my favorite character AT ALL.  XD  I have seen the light of Willie Scott, LOL :P.....don't be offended anyone, I am just voicing my opinion.  I also hated that the answer/reason of the Crystal Skull was ALIENS.  HOW STUPID.  :P  Also, Indy and Marion were both SO OLD.
Favorite Scene:  I didn't really have one.  I hated the whole thing.  XD
Overall Thoughts:  Don't waste your time folks.....the original Indy films were MUCH better....

~~~~

Star Wars Episode II:  Attack Of The Clones: 

Stars: 8/10

Liked:  I love all the Star Wars movies!  This one isn't my favorite, but I do like it well enough. :)  I love Anakin and Padme (though I realize after watching this movie again that they aren't my favorite couple), and Obi-Wan is EPIC.  There are a ton of great quotes from this movie, and plenty of action as well!!!

Disliked:  Anakin is kinda annoying in this movie.  He's whiny and honestly he's pretty bratty.  He complains about Obi-Wan too much, and is a bit angry...XD  I also don't like Jango Fett....because in my eyes he's not half as epic as he's made out to be.  :P

Favorite Scene:  Anakin and Padme's wedding......<3  

Overall Thoughts:  Great movie....especially if you're a romancey person. ;)  Great action, and fun quotes.  Not my favorite Star Wars film, but still exceptional. 

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Stars: 9/10

Liked:  Oh man, about all the movie!  It's super duper depressing, but it's amazing.  The story line is epic, the characters are amazing, and the quotes and music are at their best.  

Disliked:  Everything from where Anakin turns to the Dark Side onward.  XD  LOL not really.  Other than the fact it makes me bawl....I love this movie.  :)

Favorite Scene:  I love the scene where Padme tells Anakin about her pregnancy, and as much as it breaks my heart, the scene with Obi-Wan and Anakin's battle on Mustafar!

Overall Thoughts:  The Star Wars saga at it's best.  I love this movie so much!!!!  But not as much as the Original Trilogy!  It's a depressing, tragic film, but definitely one of the most AMAZING movies EVER.  

Star Wars Episode IV:  A New Hope
Stars:  10/10
Liked:  What's not to like?  This movie is all around AMAZING.  I love everything about it, it's truly the beginning of a Saga.  What do I like....hummm....LUKE SKYWALKER. <3  X-WINGS. <3
Disliked:  How whiny they make Luke out to be......
Favorite Scene:  The Battle of Yavin....the Death Star scenes with Han and Leia.....The Throne Room scene. ;)
Overall Thoughts:  EVERYONE ON EARTH SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE IT IS AMAZING.  How can you NOT like this?

LOL!

~~~~

How To Train Your Dragon: Gift of the Night Fury:
Stars:  10/10
Liked:  Well, it /was/ a short show, but it was AWESOME.  SO SWEET and SO CUTE and SO PERFECT.  It was just in time for the holidays, and REALLY REALLY CUTE!  :D  Hiccup and Astrid were flipping ADORABLE, and Toothless makes me wanna sob with adorableness.  I LOVED every second of this...I wish it were longer!
Disliked:  NOTHING.  NOTHING.  It was so cute, there was nothing to dislike!!!!  It was practically fanfiction come to life!!!!!!!!!!
Favorite Scene:  Either the scene where Astrid and Hiccup are talking with each other when Hiccup's building Toothless's tail.....or towards the end with Astrid and Hiccup again. :)  And the scenes with Hiccup and Toothless because I am dying to have a real life Toothless because he is SO SWEET. <333
Overall Thoughts:  YOU. THERE.  GO WATCH THIS NOW.  HERE I'LL EVEN GIVE YOU THE VIDEO I WATCHED ON YOUTUBE.

~~~~

A Very Potter Musical: (I know this isn't a movie, but I'll review it anyway)
Stars:  9/10
Liked: The comedy.  Heck, that was HYSTERICAL!!!!  I haven't laughed so hard in a LONG TIME.  The music was GREAT, the choreography good, and it was just SO FUNNY!!!!!!!  I want to see this one on Broadway someday! ;)
Disliked:  The language.  :/  That was the only bad thing.  I filtered out most of the language mentally, but it's definitely not appropriate for younger kids.  Some of the words aren't appropriate at all but in some scenes, that's what makes it so hilarious!  :P
Favorite Scene (and/or song):  I love the opening song best, (Goin' Back To Hogwarts) and my favorite scene is anything with Draco in it.  Even though he's played by a girl, Draco is the most hilarious character I have EVER seen.  ;)
Overall Thoughts: I do not like Harry Potter.  I never really have.  But now......I at least like A Very Potter Musical.  Okay...I LOVE A Very Potter Musical.  I'm not saying that I'll read the books or anything, but this funny spoof of it made me very happy.  ;)  I thought it was flippin' hilarious, and I'd recommend it to people not effected or offended by strong language.  ;)

~~~~

The Muppets:
Stars:  10/10
Liked: EVERYTHING.  AHH EVERYTHING.  I am a huge Muppets fan....die-hard fan actually.  I grew up with The Muppet Show...so this movie made me CRY.  Chibi and I have been Muppet Lovers for as long as I can remember....I can remember sitting in our room and watching hours of The Muppet Show, laughing hysterically over it.  I think we're the only kids EVER who watched the Muppets and who actually cared about the old show.  ;)  All the nostalgia of this movie had me crying fifteen minutes in.  I could relate to Walter...the Muppets were my heroes.  (though sadly, I do not have Kermit on my watch) LOL ;)
Disliked:  Some of the guest star cameos....not only because I didn't know who they were but I didn't like the actors!  XD  Haha!  :P
Favorite Scene (and/or song): I love all the songs....I had "We Built This City" in my head all night that night.  XD  "The Rainbow Connection" made me cry and "Man or Muppet" made me laugh hysterically...but then sing along.  ;)  Also, my favorite Muppet song is the remake of "Moving Right Along" because it is SO CATCHY.  :)
Overall Thoughts:  Any Muppet fan should go see this movie.  It's super sweet, downright hysterical, and a great family film.  It touched my heart...I loved every second of it.  I was crying at several parts.  ;)  I hope this movie goes #1.  ;)

mahnamahna! *do do doo do*

I Love The Holidays

Can you believe that the Holidays are already upon us?  O.O

I am taking a break from my hectic, slightly unproductive NaNoWriMo writing experience...to write this lovely post for you all.  ;)

My Holiday season has already begun.  We are decorating, playing the music, singing the songs, watching the movies, and doing everything else in preparation for Christmas.  :)

I am watching Elf right now.  <3  

My family has a lot of great traditions that I am excited for.  They are all coming up so soon!!!!!  :D  I'm so happy!!!

On Wednesday, Nutmeg, Chibi and I are going to volunteer with a friend of my dad's, at his work, who is ironically called "Turkey Lips".  ;)  Mrs. Turkey Lips does an annual volunteer project where a bunch of us get together to decorate boxes for our city's Thanksgiving food drive.  :)  We tape on pictures and info pages, and then at the end of the day we count the total number of boxes.  ;)  Chibi, Nutmeg and I have been doing this for at least four or five years now.  It's a tradition! :D  

We also do the Christmas Gift Bags for the senior center with Mrs. Kim and deliver them with Mrs. Cindy (both co-workers/friends of my dad's).  We're also going to do cards for the military this year, and 'Shop with A City Employee'.  Shop with a City Employee is when we go to our local Wal-Mart, and Wal-Mart gives money for under privileged kids to shop for Christmas gifts.  :)  Then we have a little holiday party, with cake, juice, candy canes and other fun things.  :)  

I am very excited for these things!!!  :D  

By next week I'm sure our Christmas tree will be up.  :)  

My dad and I went Thanksgiving shopping yesterday, and I officially LOVE Thanksgiving.  ;)  We have traditions for that too.  ;)  

My dad takes the day before Thanksgiving off of work, so he can come home and cook.  ;)  We bake, cook, and bake some more into the early hours of the morning, while occasionally getting groceries that are needed from the stores, and watching Christmas shows on ABC Family's Countdown to 25 days of Christmas.  ;)  

On the day of Thanksgiving, we cook the Turkey and make the potatoes, and a bunch of other food too.  We also clean and set the table, since we have around 9 people at our house for the holiday each year.  ;)  My great grandpa's friend Mr. Arnie has become one of the family and joins us for Thanksgiving.  :D  

My sister, mom, dad and I watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while cooking/cleaning/getting ready for hosting the holiday, and then we watch the dog show afterwards.  ;)  

Before to long, one of us (by us I mean either my mom or dad) goes to pick up GGP (Great-Grand-Pa), and Arnie, and then my grandparents and Chibi arrive.  ;)  Chibi, Nutmeg and I hang out, talk with the adults and play games, and then get ready for dinner.  ;)  We say our prayers, each girl saying what they're thankful for, and we recite Bible verses too.  ;)  

We eat, we talk, we laugh, we celebrate, and I am so excited for it all.  ;)  Then, before the night is over, we give Chibi early birthday presents, while everyone is together, and take turns playing our respective instruments, playing Christmas carols and having an all around good time.  ;)  

*happy sigh*  I can't wait! :D

Christmas is a whole 'nother set of Traditions for another post though......;)  I'll give a three word preview:  Cookies, Celebrating, Lights.  ;)  

Love you all, have a blessed Thanksgiving if I don't talk to y'all.....I'll be writing my life away with NaNoWriMo.....

In the mean time, you can find me on Twitter @FallonSkywalker, and I'll be around Gmail as well.  ;)  

*hugs*  

Han is the Man: A Guest Post By Savanna

Hey everyone!! My name is Savanna, you may know me as Cad Bane's chick from Pandas, Lightsabers and Cameras, oh my!! Jedi~Chick asked me to do a couple guest posts while she's working on her NaNoWriMo novel.

If you are a Lakehouse girl, you'll know that I definitely prefer Han Solo over Luke Skywalker. I've titled myself a "Hangirl" (Han + fangirl). I think that Jedi~Chick posts too much about Luke's awesomeness on here so, I'm going to write about Han Solo in this very epic post. Also, be prepared for tons of Han pictures.

First off, we must address Han's hotness. C'mon people, let's face the fact that Harrison Ford was pretty good looking in his younger years. I'm not going to elaborate on this, you get the point. I also love how his hair is always perfect with his shirt tucked in, while still being a scoundrel. That gun holster is completely rad too. Not to mention, he doesn't look too bad when encased in carbonite either. Han's smirks, sarcasm, and witty comments are all included in "hotness". 

The scene in The Empire Strikes Back is also a fangirl favorite. Plus, you don't even have to be a Hangirl to love it. Yes, you know which scene I'm talking about- "I love you.""I know." Ahhhh!! My heart melts just thinking about it. When you think about it, he instantly wins the battle over Luke in the "romance" category. I mean, at least Han didn't smooch with his own sister. Ewwww!! In my book, Han and Leia are officially the cutest couple ever.

Secondly, he's captain of the Millennium Falcon. Excuse me? Never heard of her?! Shut up. It made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. 

Thirdly, let's address his best friends- Chewbacca and Lando. Everyone can admit that Chewie is overly adorable, even though we can't understand a word he says. His weird roaring noises and walking carpet appearance are the epitome of cuteness. Then there's Lando...pretty much the coolest guy in the galaxy. He's got a rad mustache, nice grin, and a cape!! Anyone with a cape is automatically freaking awesome (I mean, just look at Darth Vader). Both Chewie and Lando compliment Han's perfectness and round him off as a pretty cool guy. 

In conclusion, Luke is pretty much a whiny/wimpy farmboy with a stupid haircut and hot sister. He's not terrible but definitely doesn't match up to the one and only, Han Solo. 

**Savanna, you Luke HATER, you are dead to me.  JK, love you and thanks for doing this post (despite that previous comment)**

Oh, and I don't care what the special edition says...Han shot first. Don't you ever forget that. 

P.S. Fallon's mom- As a fellow Hangirl, I hope you read this. *wink*

Okay, Thank you SO MUCH Savanna for doing this post for me!!!!!  *hugs*  I'm forever grateful and everyone who follows my blog should follow Savanna's, since she has a WAY COOLER and WAY MORE PROFESSIONAL blog than mine!  ;)  Seriously, she deserves the followers!  ;)  

Love you!!!

-Jedi~Chick, who is lost in NaNoWriMo land, but will be writing a post on the Holiday svery soon.  ;)
