As most of you may already know I’m addicted to the Twilight series.  In fact I just finished the fourth book in the series Breaking Dawn which surprised me but I actually thoroughly enjoyed it.  The next thing to look forward to in this series is the movie which comes out on 11/21/2008.  I’m very intrigued with it to see how much like the book it is.  I have seen several previews and it looks really good!  My husband being the tech-savvy guy that he is was nice enough to create me a widget to countdown to the movie.  Nothing fancy but for all of us out there looking forward to the movie I thought I would share this!  Enjoy!!

We have had Netflix for 4 months now and I have to say we are thoroughly impressed.  We are on the 2 unlimited plan and it works out well.  I thought I would tell you the positives and negatives (at least what I have seen in my short experience).  When you first start up the movies arrive extremely fast and always the ones at the very top of your queue.  After you have been a member for a while (probably about a month) the top ones aren’t usually the ones that you receive.  This could of course be because I have a big list of movies I want to see that you can choose from.  Sometimes they will ship from locations farther away I’m in Minneapolis so we have a shipping area here but sometimes we get them from Kansas or New York.  If that happens in my experience it takes about twice as long for the movies to get there.  Although I do have to say most of the time my movies have been received within a day and the next sent out within a day of being received.  Plus every movie that I have looked for has been in there including tv series and the old movies that you can’t find at the movie store anymore.  I think the website is very easy to use and I love that they recommend movies based off of your reviews of the movies you have watched.  Sometimes you find a movie that you absolutely love.  Sometimes not so much.  Anyways thats my two cents for the day!  What do you all think?

So I just recently got sent a link to a Snopes editorial about a new movie coming out.  Usually I don’t care one way or another but I thought this was interesting so I thought I would write about this.  Its called the Golden Compass.  It has Nicole Kidman in it and it comes out in December.  According to the email and according to Snopes this movie is a book made into a movie which was written by an atheist whose desire is to wipe God out of kids beliefs.  This is book is part of a series in which the last book has a girl and boy portraying Adam and Eve and they kill God.  I would say this movie should stir up quite a bit of controversy.  I firmly believe that everyone is entitled to believe what they want but I don’t believe views should be pushed on people.  Hopefully this isn’t what this movie is trying to do.  Any thoughts?

So the other weekend we went and saw X-Men 3 which I was very excited about because I loved the first two movies. I can honestly say that it lived up to its hype it was a great movie with humor, action, and romance all of the makings of a great movie in my mind. The only thing that was only so so was that it was basically the same as the first two with a few waging war against Magneto. I figure there is probably going to be a fourth because they hinted at it in the end and even though they are all the same they still are worth spending 2 hours enjoying them. So I would give this movie a 9 out of 10.
