who's YOUR inner toon?

have you ever found yourself identifying with a cartoon? or at least wanting to be JUST LIKE one? well, with as many cartoons as i have watched myself, i'm surprised it's taken me THIS LONG to find my "inner toon."

i'd like you to meet mine, ASTRID, from how to train your dragon:

she's a fabulous viking who is strong but feminine, fierce yet gentle, and the best DRAGON fighter in the training class. chello, who WOULDN'T want to be her?

needless to say,
'how to train your dragon'
is my newest addition to my dvd collection. =)

knight & day

don't you hate it when someone you don't like changes your mind about them based off something that is COMPLETELY fictional? yeah, me too. but that's what happened to me with tom cruise. i've never really been a huge fan but after seeing KNIGHT and DAY, i realized i laughed my head off through the whole thing and i thought, "dangit! his charming (FICTIONAL) character got under my defenses." and BAM! i was a fan.

4 days, 6 hours...

4 days, 6 hrs, and 33 minutes until my head will find itself resting against the seat at regal hollywood 18 to watch the highly anticipated movie where the wild things are. this will be the only time where i can wear my wild things christmas ornaments as earrings and NOT look stupid. ok... maybe i'll still look stupid. but at least i'll be having fun and laughing my face off. (be jealous that you can't go with me. =D)

...there is one in ALL of us!!!

movie review--the proposal

STAR TREK the movie

"captain's log--star date 050509."

"these are the voyages of the starship enterprise. its continuing mission--to explore strange new worlds. to seek out new life and new civilizations. to boldly go where no one has gone before."

yeah... growing up, i was definitely into star trek--the next generation, voyager, and deep space nine. (its all my brother's fault. he's the one who had contests with me to see who could name the most species. he always won. nerd.) while i don't watch it as often anymore, i simply can't turn on my heritage and NOT go to the new movie coming out on may 7th: STAR TREK.

ruth and i already have our tickets. (what?! we don't want to risk not having a seat opening night. hahaha.) a bunch of us are going. i can't wait. now i've got an excuse to break out my tricorder. i'm just kidding... i wouldn't want to risk damaging it at the theater. hahaha.

will you be there?

update (05/12/09): two thumbs and two big toes up. LOVED the movie--the energy, the humor, the thrills--all of it. my favorite characters were spock, mccoy, and scotty. they did an excellent job with their roles. and there were so many moments that totally took me back to my childhood. like spock with his "live long and prosper" and scotty's "i'm giv'n yer all she's got!". so great. you've got to see it.

where the wild things are

"inside all of us is... hope.

inside all of us is.... fear.

inside all of us is... adventURE.

inside all of us is a WILD thing."

warner borther’s is bringing to life one of my favorite childhood stories, where the wild things are. it will be debuting october 16th, 2009 in theaters near you. so exciting!

here are some incredible snapshots from the movie:

i hope you are as excited about this movie as i am. =D
