A good day, all in all.

Saw three movies, pretty much my normal rate: Finding Neverland (definitely recommended, will keep an eye out for the DVD), Incredibles (will definitely buy DVD), and After The Sunset (definitely recommended, good caper flick.

I’ll probably do a more detailed review later.

Swag haul: not much, not that I was expecting much. Got a Harkins t-shirt, good for a free popcorn whenever I go to a movie at Harkins and a friend gave me six movie tickets. I’ll probably get a gift from Russ when she arrives.

Dat’s it. It’s late, I’m tired, I’m gonna call my sweetie and go to bed.

Glad your day went well. Three movies in a day OMG! I managed to sit through about 45 minutes of Earthsea before I got too twitchy. Not that it was horrible, but films really need to grab me or I'm off to play with all my Internet friends instead.

We hoped to go see Unfortunate Events today, but Bill got a call yesterday for a 'quick' server tweak job for a local business. But the better call was the one last night from a company that is taking him on as a contractor with a base pay minimum of $650/day plus all expenses covered to teach Microsoft stuff -- and he can still take all his other jobs with other contractors too! We could be back to making six figures next year. (happy dance)

Ocean's 11, 11 & 12

Out department at work had an outing last week. The past three years they've been fortunate enough to see Lord of the Rings flicks. No such luck this year, so they chose Ocean's 12. For self-imposed 'homework', I watched the original Ocean's 11 (1960 Rat Pack movie) and the remake. While I enjoyed the original, it was really fluff - absolutely no conflict. No danger whatsoever of the guys being caught or anything. But it had funny parts and dialogue.

The remake had more excitement, and was pretty dumb fun.

Ocean's Twelve lost focus. There was alot of good humor, and I liked it more than Ocean's 11, up until one part that I won't reveal. But let's just say it was a bit too much of Hollywood winking at themselves in the mirror, and I failed to suspend my disbelief.

Earthsea was kinda lame. As a movie unto itself it was tolerable, but compared to its source material (the original novels) it was rather .. crappy.
