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*

Simple Disney Things

I spent HOURS one night on this epic Tumblr.....Simple Disney Things.  It is so PERFECT.  ;)

I am going to share my favorite pictures and what they mean to me.  :)

More than anything, folks.  More than anything I'd rather be in WDW.  ;)

I can seriously hear the 'announcer voice' in my head saying "And to your new passengers, Aloha and welcome aboard!!!"   *sniffs*  I love that.  Even though the Polynesian ate my iPod, I still have amazing memories there.  ;)

This one rings so true.  When you're in Disney, when that bus approaches, you jump up and down in excitement and can't wait to board the bus.  ;)

"FIVEEEEEE.....FOUURRRRRRR.....THREEEEEEEE.......TWOOOOO.......ONNNNEEEEEE........ONE IN A HALFFFFF....ZERO!!!!!!  DISNEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"  This is a common sound in our car whenever we arrive /finally/ in Disney.  ;)  Then all the girls scream really loud.  ;)

All my Disney classics are on VHS.  I own all the ones in this picture (either I do or Chibi does) so we can only watch them on that.  ;)

We had this last time.  Monorails are incredible.  ;)  Seriously, I love it when we get a monorail car to ourselves, we get to be silly, giggling and cracking jokes the entire time. :D

This is SO TRUE. ;)  The excitement is incredible when you finally get your fastpasses!!!!  :D

I usually don't like fish, but when we get this as a family in Epcot, and then sit over the waters of the Seven Seas Lagoon, it's different.  ;)  In Disney, everything tastes better.  :D

GOODNESS YES!!!!!!  Chibi, Nutmeg and I have all experienced this.  ;)  Vinylmations are the coolest collectible thing out there.  ;)

This is just a sweet little touch that makes your trip all the more 'real'.  ;)  Chibi, Nutmeg and I used to fight over who gets to keep the towels.  Then we were informed (by our parents) that the towels were for us to USE, not play with.  ;)

I think after seeing this picture, I started to cry.  Seriously, Worms-In-Dirt brings back so many memories.  xD  Last weekend I got Worms-In-Dirt for my birthday and we all started giggling and getting excited, just because it made us think of Disney.  ;)

Dole Pineapple Whips are the best possible thing you will ever put into your mouth.  EVER.  Period.  End of story.  My mom used to go to Adventureland JUST FOR THE PINEAPPLE WHIPS!!!!!!  ;)  Now whenever we go to Magic Kingdom, we go get a Pineapple Whip.  ALWAYS.  ;)  That picture is my laptop's wallpaper.  XD

*sighs*  Refillable Mugs how I love you.  ;)  Also memories.  ;)  Trashcan is what Chibi and I call our mish-mash of all the different soda's available in our refill mugs.  ;)  Now when we go to WDW, we just get Trashcan.  ;)

Hehe, we are all guilty of this one.  ;)  Chibi and I used to literally /race/ down the halls when we were little.  ;)

The best feeling in the world.  ;) 

None of us kids can, but my grandparents actually LIKE Beverly.  XD  I just stay away from that one.....LOL!!

I do this.  Nutmeg does this....Chibi and I do this too.  ;)  On our last trip, Chibi and I were up texting all night because we were too excited to sleep.  ;)

I love doing this!!!!!  :D  It's really fun, especially when they wave back.  And when the people in the restaurant next door wave, or a cast member there has a sign that says something funny like, "Do the chicken dance" on one side, but "Have a  magical day" on the other.  ;)

I can sing the whole opening to this show.  ;)  I love it!!!!!  Dissssnneeeeeyyyy Sing A Long..sooonnnngggsss!!!!!!!!  :D

Now that I know more about Gertie the Dinosaur, I want to go back and get ice cream from here again.  ;)  It's been a while, and the last time we were there, the line was REALLY long.  XD

Last trip to Disney, we rode Pirates of the Caribbean SEVEN TIMES in a row with no wait.  ;)  Each time we went under, I looked up at that leg and wondered how much dust that collects.  XDD

Never.  Never ever.  I will always be a Disney girl!!!!!!  :D  I cannot wait until I'm old enough to have my own family to take to Disney World.  ;)

We always go here, even if we've done all the things in there before.  ;)  My mom once worked at Innoventions!  :D  

I started to cry looking at this picture, especially when I saw the PB&J Otter one.  XD  Chibi and I watched all these shows when the episodes were new, and I am not kidding, PB&J Otter was a great show, and we both loved it.  ;)

BA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!  Guilty. ;)  Chibi and I got to walk around Hollywood Studios (by ourselves, eeep!) and we walked down Sunset Boulevard like celebrities.  XD  It was so fun.  ;)

:D  I now love the Lego Store in Downtown Disney, so this little *cough huge cough*  landmark is even more awesome.  :D

We love this!!!!!  The TTA!!!!  Tomorrowland Transit Authority!  :D  It's fun, you get to sit, and we always get squished into one car.  XD  But sometimes we'll ride it without getting off, and we'll do the same thing with the Walt Disney Railroad trains.  ;)

OH MY GOSH.  These books are just EPIC!!!!!!  :D  I am in love with them!!!!!!  I cannot wait for the Fifth book to come out, because I LOOOOVE these books!!!!!!!  :D  They are perfect for any Disney fan!!!!  :)

I think I will always call Hollywood Studios MGM.  ;)  

HAHAA!!!!!  I love love love that!!!!!!!!!  We always quote the monorail for fun. XD  

*sniffs deeply*  Ahhh....new plastic.....new Disney plastic......PVCs....Plastic Very Cutes......;)

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT???  That's So Raven and Phil of the Future were some of my FAVORITE shows.  ;)

HAHA!!!!  Two foot drop and my mom screams like a little girl.  XD

EEEE POOK-A-LOOZ!!!!!! XDD  I have three of them.  :D  I have a Dale (from Chip and Dale) a Stitch and a Figment Mini-Pook-a-Looz!  :D

*Sigh*  We do this too.  ;)  Chibi especially is known to fall asleep on the bus or monorail.  ;)

Okay, so this one is personal.  ;)  I LOVE the At-At outside of Star Tours.  ;)  It makes me feel so.....Star Wars-y.  XD

SO CUTE.  I saw them interact with each other last trip to Magic Kingdom, and I was squealing like a fangirl.  XD  They are just ADORABLE together!!!!!!  :D

Okay, I see that picture and I automatically know the smell.  ;)  I just.....I don't know, I can just smell it in my head.  XD

BA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!  Hey mom, doesn't that look yummy?????  ;)  *inside joke, sorry* ;)

:DDDDDDD  I seriously quoted that part of the ride in school last week. :D  I love it!!!!!  :D

Best part of this picture.....the two kids playing with the lightsaber making stuff are GIRLS.  <3

*sigh*  Each time we go to the hotel, they say "Welcome Home!", and it's so true.  My home is in Walt DIsney World.  ;)  Someday I want to work there, just so I can visit the property all the time!!!!  XD  I know everyone says it's less fun working there than visiting, but I think of it as.....making the magic happen.  ;) 

That's all for now folks, thanks for the comments on my mom's post, she's very excited.  XDD
