I guess you can say we like watching movies a lot. Nice AC rooms with comfy chairs and big screen, it’s pretty hard to beat this form of entertainment in a super hot summer day at Chino Hills, and plus it’s much more comfortable for Jeannie. This weekend we each picked a movie and went at it on a single day:

First up, Live Free or Die Hard, uhm… I wonder who picked this one… This movie was pretty much what I expected – One action sequence after another stringed together by a plot that’s not very interesting or made much sense. But obviously I didn’t care otherwise I wouldn’t have gone and watched it, and I am glad I did! This movie was a lot of fun to watch, and you didn’t really need to think too much – just sit back and enjoy the explosions.

One thing that did bother me while watching the movie was the bad guy, not that there’s anything wrong with him, it’s just that his face was so familiar… I kept thinking that he is the guy (Josh Duhamel) from the NBC TV show Las Vegas, but then not quite. Well I finally looked him up today and well, he is the sheriff (Timothy Olyphant) from the HBO show Deadwood (awesome awesome show btw). Them two look so much alike, they are probably brothers separated at birth:

Oh, Jeannie didn’t really like it due to intense action sequences and loud explosions.

Jeannie wanted to watch Ratatouille, which was a cute film by the same creators as Toy Story. The movie was lay back and interesting, and suited for the whole family. The movie did make my skin crawl when I see a bunch of rats making food, even if they were made into cute furry little creatures in the movie. It reminded me of eating at the Noodle Planet near UCLA and later found out that they had an F for their cleanness.

Oh I guess there’s a Simpons movie coming out, probably not going to watch it, but they had a cool living room set at the theater.
