The post where I ramble about writing life and movies
This past week has been a roller coaster of emotions.
My edits for Blood Bonds, my contribution to Midnight Showcase Fiction's Dark Tales, came and were returned. More information on that as it comes.
Also, I've received more info for the totally amazing writing contest I am a finalist in. Even though I'm still convinced my placement was a fluke.
So I've been editing like crazy--more than usual. And I'm still loving "SA".
But I did take an afternoon off and took the best boyfriend in the world to lunch and to the movies. We saw Kick-Ass!
I'm not going to write up a huge review, but I am going to say it was fan-tastic! I've never read any of the Kick-Ass comics, though I am a HUGE Marvel fangirl. The movie had humor, action, and surprisingly enough, a storyline that wasn't all fun and games. I really enjoyed it.
My rating? B+
Definitely worth seeing in the theater.

But one movie wasn't enough.
We also went to see *drum roll please*
How To Train Your Dragon!
No, we didn't see it in IMAX or even in 3-D, though I'd LOVE to see it in both (maybe next time). It was WONDERFUL. We'd both heard great things about Dragon, so we had high expectations. The movie exceeded them. And it looks pretty too. My recommendation, if you have children or if you don't, go see this movie!
My rating? A
Go see this movie! (did I say that already?)
A teaser? Sure! Here ya go.
So, what movies have you seen lately? Any recommendations? Any passes?
