Black Friday Haul

So I usually don't participate in the annual trampling of people to get a good deal but this year I switched it up!  I wasn't crazy enough to wait in line for hours so I decided to show up at 11:00 on Friday (before lunch time) and pick through what was left over.  To my great astonishment there was a whole tone of cheep movies that were just beggin me to take them home!  How could I resist!? We ended up leaving the store with nine movie in all (oofda!).

BLACK FRIDAY HAUL LIST:

• Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings
• Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
• Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban
• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
• The Sphere
• Red Riding hood
• Unknown

You might notice that we got Lord of the Rings one and three... Logic behind this weirdness?  Well somebody had the grand idea of purchasing number two for no apparent reason. Personally I believe strongly in chronological order so to me this was a grave offence.  But oh well!  We have the whole series so now number 2 wont be lonely any more!  Woot! Woot!

Seriously You Just Bought Movies on Black Friday?

No!  But, I thought that since you know, this is a blog about movies that it would be appropriate to tell you about the movies I got but if you are interested I also got tee shirts.  I got 4 tee shirts sporting characters from: Pokemon, Teen Titans, One Piece, and The Nightmare Before Christmas...funny story about the Nightmare Before Christmas One... I wore it and on that same day I had also bought a new kind of deodorant... yeah the armpits of the shirt are now bright pink... they are supposed to be purple! >:( oh well! you win some you loose some I guess.  Ha-ha.

So there you have it, tons of movies to fuel my odd obsession.

Did you guys get any movies during the black Friday Sales??

Until next time, Watch on!

WDRW #3

Hey all, good news! The first half of my school year is officially over AND it’s Christmas break as of now!!! That's right no school until the 3rd of the new year!  : ) I intend to spend this lovely long break reading (I borrowed a book from my friend a few months ago....and haven't started it), watching moves, and spending time with family! But Any way as for this week, I didn't watch that many movies because of all my finals and a huge paper I had to finish up. So here it is!

• Pride and  Prejudice
• Four Christmas's
• Ghost Busters II
• Merry Christmas Charlie Brown

What are you guys doing for this holiday break?

Sleepover

Everyone has their own little guilty pleasure, mine probably is watching super pre-teen girly movies!  Which leads me to this weeks movie: Sleepover!
The movie is about an 8th grade girls birthday/sleepover, she invites her two close friends and a girl that is 'out of the loop' they are having all the fun in the world with the average sleepover musts: karaoke, dressing up, pizza, PIZZA, PIZZA. That is until the girl's ex-best friends comes over and challenges them to a scavenger hunt. This hunt will lead them from stealing from a rent-a-cop (played by Steve Carell), to dressing up a manikin in a mini skirt, to crashing a *gasp* high school dance!  One things for sure, these girls will find something that night not on the list but inside themselves! Say goodbye to middle school and hello to the sleepover!

Anniversary and a Movie

Hey guys! So this Sunday (December 9^th) marks my second year dating my best friend! This occasion puts me in the mood for a good romance movie. So without further ado this week’s movie is The Princess Bride!

The movie starts out with a young boy sick at home with his grandfather reading him a story. The story (which is basically the movie) is about a young farm worker who is in love with the farmer’s daughter, Buttercup. The young worker left the farm to seek a fortune for himself but promises to return for his love. After many years of not coming home, Buttercup is betrothed to Prince Humperdinck. Sadly her heart still belongs to the farm worker, Westley. After getting kidnapped by a strange Sicilian and his not so evil cronies a strange masked man tries to rescue Buttercup. Who’s the masked man? Will Buttercup be forced to marry Prince Humperdinck? And what’s up with that creepy Sicilian? You’ll just have to find out! One things for sure though!  "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Directed by: Rob Reiner

Rated: PG

·         Cary Elwes as Westley

·         Robin Wright as Buttercup

This movie features royalty, giants, sorcery, sword fighting and enough mushy love that will keep you giddy for a week! Over all it's a fantastic romance that will last a lifetime!

The Hunger Games Bingo!

As promised I come bearing the rules and regulations of The Hunger Games Bingo! So all in all the game was super fun! It was my second time watching the movie. (Side Note: In addition to movies I love reading; however, I never really got into this series) 

Off the topic of bingo, the first time I saw the movie I hated it! I hated the plot, the characters, the fact that Gale got left at home and how it was just slaughtering of kids… but, when I watched it the second time… I kind of liked it.

Ha-ha ok, ok back to bingo.  For the game we were handed cards filled with quotes and scenes from the movie.  The movie started and whenever one of the quotes or scenes from our card happened we got to cross that box off. Once someone got a bingo they won a Hunger Games related prize, such as:

·         mocking jay pin

·         mocking jay necklace

·         bookmarks (sporting the characters faces)

·         reading light (with the Hunger Games on the side)

·         copy of the book

In all it was super fun and a wonderful way to spend a Thursday afternoon!

Where the heck was this game held at? It was at the local library.  We have an awesome teen section that sponsors tons of free teen related events.

On that note, since I’m in cahoots with the Teen Services Librarians they agreed to send me a copy of the bingo cards! So here they are:

Card #1

Card #2

Card #3

Card #4

Card #5

Card #6

Card #7

Card #8

Card #9

Card #10

Card #11

Card #12

Card #13

Card #14

Card #15

Card #16

Card #17

Card #18

And of course you can use this idea for any movie!  Just choose a great movie, make up your cards and get a group of friends together!  Have fun! Let me know how your game goes, Until next time, watch on!
