from Andy Horst of This Providence:

I am not used to getting up before the crack of noon.  But today I am pretending to be a real grown up!  It’s 9 am and I’m awake.  Go me!  I’m writing this blog so I’ll be late to start working… oh well.

I’ve been watching a lot of movies since I’ve been home, not something I have ever really done an excessive amount of in my life.  This memorial day weekend I watched the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy.  It was incredible.  Here’s some “reviews.”

Robin Hood: (the new one)  I thought it was pretty awesome except for the guy that played little John.  I can’t help but hate that guy because of the character he played at the end of Lost.  But the movie was worth seeing.  I actually liked how dark it is and how Prince John finally seemed like an actual evil person.

Shutter Island: This movie is genius from a photographic stance.  I love this director now and feel the need to go see all his other movies.  I did guess the entire plot after only watching 25 minutes of the movie, but that’s ok… I still really enjoyed it.  I guessed the ending of Identity after about 10 minutes of watching that. ha.

The Men Who Stare At Goats: weird… i think that’s all i have to say.

Sherlock Holmes: I remember that I liked it when I watched it, but it obviously wasn’t memorable enough that a week later I hardly can think of anything about that movie

Fantastic Mr. Fox: What the cuss!? This movie was cussin’ sweet.  If you haven’t watched it yet… you should get off you cuss and give it a cussin’ chance.  I want to live in a tree.

Mary Poppins: Watched this twice since I’ve been home… and it might be my favorite movie ever made.  Dick Van Dyke is the man.

The Jerk: Steve Martin is awesome.

Are there any good movies coming out this summer?  Or any movies I haven’t heard of that I NEEEEED to see??? Lemme know!  See you soon!
