chidi's bday @ parlor...!

has been a while since i've visited the Parlor in lincoln square.
we celebrated chidi's 31st birthday (he shares the same bday as johnny depp, WOO!)
chidi sported the pink feathers/hat/glasses all night...i think he liked wearing them...

but the best part of the night??! i got jamus to wear the pink glasses...
very niiiice!

avatar....finally♥!

as i've posted a few days ago, i've been trying to get tickets to see avatar....
it's been #1 at the box office for 4 straight weeks now! (holy be-jeezus!)
paul realm jamus and i finally got to enjoy it last night:)
the preferable 7pm was actually sold out..again! so we went to a latter, 9pm showing.
yes, i saw it in 3D (and can they make those 3D glasses any bigger?!)
but no, we skipped out on the IMAX. the only difference is the bigger screen...
(but, i'm willing to see the movie again IF anyone *ahem..erika* would like to see it...
the visuals were amazing! it must be awesome to see it in the IMAX)

so, the story is pretty nuts...and i guess i mean that in a good-way.
it was almost believable that there would be a planet out there with these species of aliens....
it was a well thought out "idea", these na'vi. they have culture/tradition/beliefs... and by the end of the movie, i wanted to be a blue person!! o(^-^)o
some people have compared this movie to 'braveheart' / 'pocahontas' where a white dude saves the day by becoming accepted by the other race...
the movie definitely didn't feel like 3 long hours for me. i guess that's a good thing♥

here's realm and creepy flat-face james

o, and alvin & the chipmunks were totally chilling at the theater lobby...
hmmm..say, when did alvin get so....thuggish?!

"where the wild things are" movie nite...!

the jamus and i saw "where the wild things are" tonight...via IMAX.

my thoughts..? hmmmm.... just about middle... i didn't love it nor did i hate it...

and i actually don't remember too much from the book i read when i was a child....

i guess what bugged me most was all the screaming, yelling, barking, loudness (well..it was the IMAX... i guess it's supposed to be crazy loud) and all the anger and confusion with the characters... carol, the main monster dude needs to get some anger management treatment like no other... my gawd! i understand they were trying to portray emotions and feelings through a childs point of view but... it was a bit annoying. i also felt they tried to get a bit artsy with the movie by purposely creating potential confusion to the viewers..? or maybe that was just me. and like i said, i don't remember the book all too well--maybe this follows the book version?

anyways, i'm not sure i'll watch the movie again... see it once and you're good♫

District-9....!

'twas movie-date-night
i watched it last night ! yep !
gotta say...it was pretty darn good♥ aliens, violence, co-existence, and..presented almost like a documentary-esque film...hmmm, i think that's what makes it feel real too...
and it's different from other alien movies. we co-exist in this one, and there are no communication barriers. just the whole idea of this film was different from all other alien movies i've seen. the effects were good, the acting was good, and i don't really remember any cheezy moments... i'd definitely recommend this movie to anyone♥
so go see it !

UP...!

jamus and i got to enjoy the new pixar film "UP" on sunday @ lincoln square♥♥♥

not just any CG movie...but in friggin' 3D!! yea, we had to wear somewhat silly glasses and i got to see jamus in it....pfff hehehe ☺

i really couldn't tell what the story was going to be about from just the trailers...but it got such great reviews i was sure i would enjoy it ♥ i don't want to spoil anything so i won't go into detail BUT i gotta say...the first part of the movie (and i mean maybe 15 min into it) i started crying... it was a tear jerker! overall great movie--really loved it and now it's almost hard to decide if i like wall-e or UP better... ! go pixar !

and their short-film was another adorable one ♥ i think it was called "partly cloudy"
