A Movie Weekend & My Intense Hatred of the Snow

So it's Tuesday, yesterday was a holiday apparently.  Since I am neither in school or have a job I don't really even know what day of the week it is sometimes.  It's snowing or raining either way its disgusting.  I absolutely loathe the snow.  My hatred for it did not come about until I got to college and I had to walk to class or to do anything in this city.  We also didn't have a lot of snow days in my town.  If it was snowing we usually still went to school because it would turn to rain by the end of the day.  Now there's like 8 inches of snow outside, ice everywhere, and no one clears their sidewalks off.  Other than that it's SUPER fantastic outside.  Gross, I'm so glad I have nothing to do today and I can just stay in and look at all the poor people sliding down the hill in their cars.

This past weekend my two best friends from college came to visit me.  We had a lot of fun and I always hate when they leave me :(.  One of our favorite things to do collectively as a trio is the movies.  I am from a cinema loving family and thanks to my Aunt I am loaded with movie tickets that she gave me for Christmas.  Our first movie that we all saw together was Black Swan.  I have been excited to see this movie, not only for the ballet or Natalie Portman, but for the sheer creepiness just the trailer possessed.  The creepy whispers, red eyes, and crazy mother all added to my need to see this movie.  I will admit that I was mildly confused from time to time, and that I jumped when a bloody Winona Ryder showed up out of nowhere.  Definitely a great movie and I'm happy Natalie won the Golden Globe.  I see an Oscar win in her near future!

I also saw two other movies yesterday.  I saw Tangled (finally) and The Green Hornet 3D.  I have legit wanted to see Tangled since I first heard about it last February!  I finally got the opportunity to see it and it definitely did not disappoint.  The only thing that threw me off was the singing.  I thought it was a normal cgi movie, but then again it was a Disney production.  Zachary Levi and Mandy Moore who provided the voices for Rapunzel and the male lead Flynn Ryder were fantastic together.  After seeing Tangled I was even more excited to see the next movie.

I am absolutely in love with Seth Rogen, superheros, and anything old that's new again.  When I was younger I had a Green Hornet fork, well actually I believe it was a spork.  I'm a really huge dork and have a secret love for comic books (guess its not a secret now) or anything superhero related.  When I first saw the trailer for this film I immediately could not wait to see it.  My hopes of seeing it within the coming weeks was dashed against the rocks when I found out that it didn't come out until January 2011 (I saw the trailer in August).  The fact that it was in 3D which I wasn't really into at first kind of turned me off a little bit.  I must say that it was AMAZING in 3D! It would've been just as good in 2D, but I enjoyed having Seth Rogen that close to me! Yes, he did kind of take Britt Reid's character and update him for today's world (and maybe made him a tad bit too silly), but it was a needed update.  Overall go see Green Hornet, even if you hate 3D.

For some reason I'm really into reality shows right now.  I'm currently on Bad Girls Club, The Bachelor, and I'm about to start a new one called Genuine Ken.  I will definitely let you know how that one turns out.  Time to be done with this blog post.  Laterz!
