Easter Weekend

Good evening interwebs!
Here is a summary of my weekend:
Well, actually, the pictures are from Saturday. Easter weekend was great for the most part, I loved it. Friday I saw The Last Song with a bunch of women from church and on Saturday I went to see Clash of the Titans with a bunch of men from my church. I know, weird, right? haha. Before we went to the movies though I had to go to an Easter egg hunt with my family and some families from church. I might have possibly stolen some candy...As I am doing this blog I am watching The Lord of the Rings. I've been craving it for a while now..I just love Arwen. She's great. I have a weakness for movies/books/tv shows that have some sort of heroine.

The Last Song. My rating? 3.5 stars of of 5. This was a generally good movie. Sad though, and I have to admit it I came very close to crying. I did get teary-eyed at one point with Jonah. There were the moments where you just go "awww," trust me. I did not do it aloud..I got a rep. to protect here! All of the women I went with didn't leave that theater with a dry eye. A few parts were cheesy, and Miley Cyrus was a terrible choice for the role of Ronnie. I'm in the middle of reading the book now and even in the movie I could tell that she was too girly for the part of this character. Ronnie is supposed to be a dark person. Will and Ronnie are supposed to look completely incompatible together. Oh and those front teeth! Miley, what the heck? You are incredibly rich, YOU CAN AFFORD TO GET THAT CROOKED TOOTH FIXED. Every moment I see her open her mouth I cannot go without a giggle or a snort of annoyance. They say it will affect her singing if she fixes it...yeah you can only go uphill from that voice, I'm just sayin'..

Clash of the Titans gets a lovely 4 out of 5 stars. I did watch the 80's version. I could barely get through that movie without laughing at how old it is. I love picking out the differences in technology from now and then. This movie had just enough action for my liking, and enough talking about things that actually matter as well. I've noticed in movies lately they have incredibly awesome action scenes then dialogue that has nothing to do with anything. I was not, however, disappointed with this movie. Only 4 stars because I felt like there was just something missing. I couldn't put my finger on it though. Maybe the fact that it was a movie that I will mostly likely only see 2 times in my entire life, if not 1? I don't like 3D movies. There was nothing really...3D about it, and the glasses just gave me an unwanted headache. I loved the ending though. The ageless chick was awesome, no matter what anyone says. When Zuess brought her back I totally said "Yay!"

-------------------

Sunday, I got a book!!! That's right. OH, yeah. Plus a bunch of candy...and sidewalk chalk! I love Easter. Anyways, I cannot wait to read this book, it looks awesome. I've heard nothing but great things about James Patterson.

After we ate lunch (chicken pot pie) with my Nana, Great Aunt, and cousin, we headed down to my Grammy's house for dinner. I ended up watching White Oleander with other C while she cleaned her room. We got to talk and stuff. Later on that night, I went with her to see The Last Song (yes, again, she didn't see it, jeez!) with other C, C's boyfriend J, and C's brother R. It was fun since we went at about 9pm so no one was there but us, haha.

I'm getting rather tired now so I believe I shall finish this movie tomorrow.
