Day After Tomorrow - I just couldn't keep myself from going to see this movie. All the reviews have been bad but having just been to NYC, I wanted to see it in the new ice age. I went in with lowered expectations about the movie but after 10 minutes, I realized they were not low enough. I just sat there thinking it couldn't keep getting worse and it did. Finally, after the entire city was under tons of snow and all human who were dumb enough to be outside were frozen, somehow the four escaped wolves from the zoo managed to track down our heroes and attack them. Oh my gosh! They weren't even normal wolves they had turned into evil werewolves! (Just go see Van Helsing, it's an Oscar winner after this movie!) At this point I realized I was just stuck and luckily the movie was almost over so it started to get better just with that knowledge in my head. The special effects were okay, nothing new and exciting in technology. The tsunami over the Statue of Liberty was cool but that's about it. Perry King as the President had way to little screen time but that's probably lucky for him.

This weekend's movie is Harry Potter and it's sure to be great! Maybe I can wipe the memory of DAT from my mind!

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
