After posting on BlockBuster triple play deal, D and I felt that we would be crazy not to also take advantage of the deal too.  So last weekend we decided to head to the Big Y Grocery Store and pick out three movies to watch. Little did we know that illness and cold rainy weather would allow us to watch all three movies on Saturday and then return to pick out another three before the end of the weekend.  So without further adieu here are the results from that Dancinghotdogs Blockbuster Express Weekend Movie Marathon (I am considering shortening the title a bit).  The first three we saw that weekend (part 1) will be posted today, and the following day's movies will be posted tomorrow (part 2). Four Christmases By Divina Rosa had posted a review on this before but this is my spin. Movie about unmarried couple who must spend Christmas with their dysfunctional families because the forces of nature have canceled their vacation plans. This movie was trying too hard to … [Read more...]

The Hangover Movie Review

the-hangover-01

By Eddy Let me say first that It took me a while to watch this movie.  Along with all usual hoopla that is my life one thing above all kept making me procrastinate from watching The Hangover .  That one thing was the following: Everybody that I talked to who saw the movie said it was better or just as good as Old School .  And this wasn't just one time, this was multiple unrelated sources.  I experienced the ultimate "What you talkin' bout Willis?" moment. So while most normal people would go immediately to the theater, plop down their $230.43 for a ticket and the promise of their first born for a box of raisnets and a slushy (Actually, it would be second born for me, as Thomas was promised for the tub of popcorn for the Matrix: Revolutions , which was a total waste of a baby and a movie) I decided to wait and let things settle down. I will cut through the obvious suspense and say to you my dear reader that NO! it is not as good as Old School... in my … [Read more...]

Four Christmases Movie Review

four-christmases-vaughn-witherspoon-movie

By Rosa Four Christmases seemed to be a great holiday movie to go to.  In one sentence review, I was disappointed with the movie but not with Vince Vaughn. Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) are a happy couple that always find an excuse to escape their family.  Brad and Kate think they have a perfect relationship and adding their families into their lives will only bring issues.  Keeping with their holiday tradition, the happy couple was headed off to an exotic destination but bad weather stops their getaway and changes their fun and ideal plans for 2008.  Of course, their families see them on the News and immediately call to make new family plans for the 25th.  That's when Brad and Kate who run away from family obligations are forced to go to each of their parent's homes in one day.  I don't want to giveaway too much of the movie but crazy family members (played famous actors like Robert Duvall, Jon Voight, Sissy Spacek, Mary Steenburgen, and  Jon … [Read more...]
