Mini Movie Reviews
- New in Town I watch an absurd amount of romantic comedies, and there isn’t anything that really sets “New in Town” apart from the rest. But there were a few sweet, candid moments with Harry Connick Jr that made me laugh. 2.5/5
- Taken This movie makes scared to travel alone. Definitely an original plot, but a little gory. The only major setback was a very cheesy/weak script. 2.5/5

My family is going on vacation in July, so we’ve actually been shopping a lot this week. We replaced my mom’s old digital camera with a Sony T900 because my mother really wanted the touch screen. Personally I think the camera is overpriced for it’s okay picture quality, but the rest of my family loves it.
I’m still looking for luggage, so sometime soon we’ll be going downtown to find something for me.

I’ve become addicted to Facebook, which is why this entry is four days late!
I’m starting this new section where I just talk about the week in order to get back into blogging. Hopefully it’ll be interesting.

For a week that is only twenty days from Summer, the weather has been terrible. It barely rained but the weather each morning was consecutively glum. And oddly, the sun would sometimes appear in the evening, right before it set. The weather had totally affected my mood this week.

- He’s Just Not That Into You Ridiculously depressing for a romantic comedy. Although there were a few redeeming lines from Justin Long. 3/5
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button While worth its three hours, the movie didn’t really pick up until the middle — when Brad Pitt finally looked like a man in his twenties, and when Daisy/Benjamin wasn’t creepy). 4.5/5
- Star Trek This movie has fried my brain. I can’t talk about anything that’s not Kirk or Spock related anymore; all conversations eventually lead to Star Trek. I think the cast was absolutely perfect for this reboot. 5/5
- Two Weeks Notice I don’t think I can enjoy Music & Lyrics, or any Hugh Grant romantic comedy anymore after seeing this movie. 2.5/5

I’ve enlisted in Star Fleet! Actually I just bought Frosted Flakes (they sold out of the Frosted Mini Wheats) for the Star Trek badge that comes with. It lights up Federation yellow, symbolizing Star Fleet Command.
What was the last ‘big’ thing you’ve purchased? By ‘big’ I mean either size (anything bigger than a keyboard), value (in my case the larger things are always pricier anyways), or just overall significance (uh things that make you happy?).
