I saw the new Smurf’s movie with a friend of mine tonight. It was Smurfalicious! It was so cute. Neil Patrick Harris did an awesome job. Forget the name of the actress, i think Katie Pery? hank hazzeria(sp?) plays Gargamel. Azerel was awesome! LOL. The Smurfs were soooo cute. We thought if you didnt grow up with the Smurf’s like we did then you might not appriciate the movie as much, sure little kids will love it because the Smurf’s are cute and blue and just so darn huggable! and pretty darn cool in 3D! I believe thats the first 3d movie me or my friend have been to! Gargamel is not too scarey! so take your kids to it! Hell even if you arent a kid go see it!
cussing, serial killers, devils – witchcraft, etc., I give kudos to Hollywood for making it. Some of the biggest box office draws are childrens movies. I think one of the best movies ever was Toy Story. Made for kids but the jokes were for adults with the double-speak.
I think the first time I noticed was Aladin where the Genie, played by Robin Williams, had jokes/lines that kids would have never understood but were hilarious to the adults.
There’s a new movie out, The Help, that should be very good. Our book club read the book and we all raved about it. We are going to see it as a group; we do this occasionally when a movie comes out and we’ve read the book. The last one was Water for Elephants. The book so very, very good but the movie, not so much. Others we saw were The Secret Life of Bees, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter and The Road.
It was really cute. well there is Gargamel the wizard Pammy. LOL. but yes I recommend it for young and old! my sister used to have a ton of the figurines, i remember them hanging on a shelf in our room. I was more into strawberry shortcake and the carebares. LOL. but I love the smurfs too! I had forgotten that Gargamel had produced Smurfette to try and trap the smurfs.
Bonbon, Funny you should mention the Help, I just downloaded it on my ipad too. but i gotta read my ice cold first. but the review for that book sounded good.
Thats the same way with Spongebob Squarepants. Some of the jokes on there are more for the adults, the kids would never get it.
read "A Big Little Life" by Dean Koonz. It is a true story about his dog, Trixie. She was an amazing dog and it’s very well written. Of course you’ll need Kleenex at the end and maybe even a couple of places in the middle.
I could read it, I cry non-stop at the stop-animal-cruelty-save-a-life-Adopt commericals. That’s why that movie "Marley and Me" made me so mad, they advertised it as a comedy and fun at heart movie…NOT!!!!!
I actually cried out loud. OMG! That was such a sad story.
Don’t know if you’ve heard this or not but they got another Golden Retreiver and actually had to have Cesar Milan come out and work with her because she was so bad. I’m thinking it must have been the owners, not the dogs. :o)
But Dean Koonz’s dog was a former Companion Dog and extremely well trained. Would you believe that dog could go pee and poop on command! Now THAT’S trained.
and tell them to go – even with a doggie door…the poochies want me outside with them, gets me to move too walking around with them. So as Martha says…"it’s a good thing".
public a few "funny" and heartwarming scenes (you know how we all feel about our poochies), and reel us in like fish! And then whammo…your child is asking at the end of the movie "Mommy why did the doggie have to die?" While you are sobbing into your popcorn! They should have given some kind of hint it was a sad movie.
Well, they have comedy, drama, bio-pics, etc. but I don’t think there is a "sad story" genre. :o)
I would classify it as a comedy. It was really only sad at the very end. Still and all, it can’t compete with Old Yeller, now THAT was a sad movie. Even as a kid that movie just tore my heart out.
I actually saw the other day, a book titled, A Dog Story Where the Dog Doesn’t Die at the End. Too funny.
