Movie weekend: one of the worst and one of the best

This weekend was a bit drizzly and cloudy dark. It's starting to get cooler and is officially "fall". We got a lot of piddly projects done around the house. I cleaned all the little leaves out of the pool and made sure it was all clean and sparkling and Kenny got all the leaves picked up off the grass and made the yard look beautiful *grins*

Our trees are such a blessing to our energy bills, keeping us shaded in the summer and sunny in the winter, but they keep us busy picking up the leaves in the autumn *laughs*.

We also took care of some touch up painting in a few little different spots that needed to be done and Kenny prepared a lot of baseball cards and listed them for sale on e-bay. Then after the work projects were done, and due to the coldy weather, we decided to watch a couple movies as a treat!

The first one we watched was called The Mist. It's a suspenseful thriller based on a novel by Stephen King. It's basically about a little upstate town that gets engulfed in fog leaving a diverse mixture of the townsfolk trapped at the grocery store once they discover horrible monster aliens are in the fog! Whoa creepy! Or at least it should have been....
Kenny and I were plotting and planning the whole time about what we would do, or what the characters should have done *laughs* wouldn't Wal Mart be the perfect place to be trapped anyway, everything you need is right there on the shelf!

Another reason this movie failed to scare is because I was cracking us up about the monsters.

Dear Mist character creators,

If you are trying to freak us out with your creepy monster aliens, please do not give them herbivorous donkey teeth!
You could never gnash flesh with those dull square incisors. *grins*

Sincerely,

your fearless viewer

Additionally, the end of this movie was so bad that Kenny and I both wanted our money back (luckily this one was free on tv). Needless to say, I would NOT recommend this movie to anyone! We wish we had never seen it except for the whole donkey teeth joke we now have going *winks*

Now, on a happier note....

On Sunday we watched one of the best movies I've ever seen!! Disney's Up.

It was absolutely adorable. I just love the old man character and I want to adopt this sweet little boy scout *grins*
It was so precious in fact that I was brought to tears three times! Kenny just cuddled me up and probably thought his wife was losing her mind *laughs* I would watch it again right now if given the chance! It is a must see!!
