2 great movies to see...

on december 23rd, j and i took the kids and my niece to see charlotte's web. my 8 year old son and i read the book the previous week and finished it that morning. for all of you who read it as a child, i recommend reading it again. so much happens in the book that doesn't appear in the movie or is slightly altered to make the movie shorter. of course, with a book that is 184 pages long, that is bound to happen to try and fit into an hour and a half. very cute story line. if you want to see dakota fanning though, she really isn't in the movie a whole lot. for us, if we know a movie is coming out, we read the book first. it really is a lot of fun to do that. we did it with charlie and the chocolate factory as well. this movie... i give it 3 kernels out of 5.

















yesterday, my sis and i took 4 kids to see night at the museum. okay, everyone this is a must see! i thoroughly enjoyed this movie. it is a movie for all ages. it brings light to history (okay american history - but it is interesting), is very funny, is cool in the way that it brings some "oldtimer" actors back onto the screen. mickey rooney and dick van dyke are in this flick. it is a great show. ben stiller is funny once again and his good pal owen wilson is in this one also. can't have a movie with ben stiller unless a wilson brother, vince vaughn or will ferrell is in it as well. this one gets 5 kernels out of 5! i would see it again!
