Likey or no likey

I've been pretty busy with balls to the wall days, and I got incredibly sick so I've been out of commission for a while. I'm feeling better but I'm definitely not 100% yet. I don't even know what's really wrong with me or how I got anything - you'd think I must have drunk a whole cup of germs and bacteria.

There have been definitely a lot of movies I've watched these past few weeks. With me not having much energy, just sitting there is a great solution. So here are my quick thumbs up or thumbs down on a few:

• Ocean's 13 - It was definitely better than the sequel but I still think the first one was the best. Though I think they focused on making the one-liner jokes, which took away from the original feel of the movie.
• Surf's Up - I thought it was a cute movie with a nice message for the kiddies. Other animated movies are better than this though.
• Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer - It was eh, had a few funny scenes here and there. What they did with the Silver Surfer was incredibly weak though. After a comment someone made about the suits being so skin tight, all I kept focusing on was the moose knuckles and camel toe. I think of all the Marvel comic movies, this one is the weakest. But the main killer? How did they make someone as gorgeous as Jessica Alba look so horrible?!? She was on the verge of being knocked off my list as a result of that.
• Waitress - I loved this movie! I'm a huge fan of Keri Russell so that's what initially attracted me to this. It was funny and cute - a lot of awkwardness that just made you laugh. All the pie names were a great touch too. The only thing is that I felt bad for rooting for the leads because they were both cheating on their spouses. Though in Jenna's (Keri's character) case, her husband was both physically and emotionally abusive.
• Evan Almighty - I liked this, but I think Bruce Almighty was funnier. But I guess there's a lot more they could do with someone playing God as opposed to Noah. I still love Steve Carell though!

Other than that, I've been enjoying Kevin's new Wii! On a whim and a stroke of luck, he was able to find one after work. It's pretty awesome and there are so many games out there that look so cute and fun. Too bad the games cost quite a bit though!

Cinnamon's got his controller strapped on for some fun! Look at him, all Wii-ed out.
