A Movie Review: The Lego Movie

Hi there you guys! Remember that super glued thumb I was talking about? Well that (plus the inherent laziness that comes with the rainy weather) has hampered my sewing abilities- so no sewing post today! Instead I thought I'd give ya another little movie review!

I don't know about you, but I am ALLLLL about kid's movies. Like, seriously, that is my bizness! :) I was super amped when I saw The Lego Movie had hit theaters, but never got the opportunity to go see it. You can bet your bottom dollar that I rented it the moment it was released and I was so so pleased. Our story gets started with our little Lego man hero, Emmett. Emmett and the rest of his Lego counterparts have been brainwashed into total 'normalcy' by our villain, Lord Business. Emmett is jarred from his ordinary, construction worker life by a group of 'Master Builders' who believe that he is the hero they've been searching for to overthrow Lord Business' evil plan to take over the entire Lego world! Emmett, Wyldstyle, Virtuvius and numerous other master builders (we meet Batman, Wonderwoman and countless others along the way) take us on a non stop adventure through the Lego worlds in their attempt to thwart Lord Business' evil plan. Emmett's story sends a fantastic message about loving and believing in yourself and embracing what makes you special. I loved this movie, and it's definitely one to add your collection- for your internal 9 year old, or your actual 9 year old. :)

I hope everyone is having a great week! I see lots of views on my posts and whatnot- feel free to comment with any thoughts you might have! It's always nice to hear from you guys! And I promise I'll be back with a sewing post soon. What have you guys been up to this week?


Much love always!

Movie Review: Walk Of Shame

Howdy folks! :)

Hopefully everyone's day was absolutely fantastic! It was first night back to work so I kind of skipped out on the sewing today (don't hate me!) and decided to do a little movie review!

Walk of Shame is a movie starring Elizabeth Banks and James Marsden. The story is of a woman (Banks) who spends an incredibly rough night enduring the world's longest (while hilarious) walk of shame after a drunk night with a stranger (Marsden). Our main girl, Megan, is a news anchor in line for a gigantic promotion when her fiancee leaves her. When her friends come around to show her a night on the town she gets word that her promotion has gone to someone else. After countless rounds of shots and a crazy night with Gordon (Marsden), Megan learns that her bosses have changed their tune and the promotion is hers!... As long as she can get to news station and perform the most important newscast of her life under the scrutiny of her superiors. The next 12 or so hours that follow are filled with some of the wildest, funniest, most ridiculous mishaps ever to grace a silver screen. We find our heroine (questionable title) everywhere from a crack house in the hood to a Jewish Chabad. To be sure there's no shortage of fun and laughs in Walk of Shame, combined with the just right amount of misery on Banks' account which makes this movie a definite oughta-watch if you're needing a laugh. :)

Sabrina: post 1

So, basically the other night I watched Sabrina.

Some quotes:

"The twentieth century! I could pick another century out of a hat, blindfolded, and get a better one!"

"A woman happily in love-she burns the souffle. A woman unhappily in love-she forgets to turn on the oven!"

" I have learnt how to live ... and not just to stand aside and watch. And I will never, never again run away from life. Or from love, either ..."

"I might as well be reaching for the moon!" " Oh you young people are so old-fashioned. Have you not heard? We are building rockets to reach the moon!"

" I thought you two had eloped! I wouldn't mind, but not in my car."

Brilliant movie. Totally amazing.... : )
