Reviews: The Talking Pictures Kind…

So I’ve seen a few newly released movies this past little while and I thought I would share my opinions on them, because I can. (Got to love freedom of speech.)

Movie #1: Tangled



This movie was so cute. It is the typical Disney fairytale cartoon, a love story, comic relief and music. This movie is based on the story of Rapunzel, loosely based might I add, which is Disney’s style. We saw this as a family and both the kids and adults enjoyed it. The only negative for me was I didn’t find the music as captivating as past Disney Princess movies. After the movie, I asked my 7-year-old nephew, E, if I should grow my hair out as long as Rapunzel’s hair. He vetoed that idea quickly.

Movie #2: Tron



I keep seeing facebook statuses of friends who loved this movie, I’m puzzled, wondering if I missed something. Here is my view. When a movie is made in the 80’s and is bizarre and you remake that movie, let’s just say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The plot is kind of lame and Jeff Bridges is so annoying. I must admit the motorcycle racing parts were very cool and the effects, impressive. Overall, the movies was mehhhh (interpret that however you want), but the cinnamon bears I smuggled into the theater and holding my husband’s hand during the movie was awesome.

  1. I went 7 years without cutting my hair and it never got past the middle of my back, but you don't want to mess with super long hair; you can be sure it would always be tangled.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

One of Those Nights

You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
