Ryan Reynolds. RIPD. Rambling good time?

R.I.P.D. or the Rest in Peace Department

Ryan Reynolds dies at the beginning of the movie.  But don't worry I'm not giving away anything!  (I totally don't believe in giving away the movie plot lines, so no worries about that on a honey lust)

Reynolds joins his new partner Jeff Bridges.  They are one hilarious duo!

I would give this new movie a honey lust's best rating:
♥♥♥♥♥= AMAZING true love

So kick back this weekend and a comedic ride with some great actors.  (Kevin Bacon and Mary-Louise Parker were pretty awesome in this movie too)

Cheers to a great weekend.  Let me know how it goes honeybees. :)

At the Cinema ♥ G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Well, it wasn't my choice, but G.I. Joe Retaliation was most definitely an entertaining movie.

I didn't even watch the first one, but it still made for light and adventurous night!  Oh, and A LOT nice looking G.I. Joes.

At the Cinema ♥ Side Effects

A side effect.  A peripheral or secondary effect, especially an undesirable secondary effect of a drug or therapy.

For a movie where you think you know exactly where it's going... you really don't have a clue.  But I liked that the end of the movie made sense.  The pieces fit together.  It was not one of those crazy movies where you never get it.  Rooney Mara was actually quite pretty in this film and of course Channing Tatum is always easy on the eyes.  It was an interesting movie... is it worth an evening movie ticket price?  Probably not, but it was still an entertaining end to a Monday night.  Did you see Side Effects?  What did you think?  I'm off to pack for a little trip to North Cali this weekend. :)

At the Cinema ♥ The Hobbit Take 2

Well I went to see The Hobbit for the second time today.  It's a little tradition I like to call... let's go the movies on Christmas.  Because, well, I just love the movies.

And I am happy to say that The Hobbit was even better the second time!  I'm not sure why, but the first time all the singing kind of annoyed me, but this time it did not annoy me at all.  I loved it!  (Not the singing, but the movie)

  I also had family with me so I could confirm that some of the action parts were a bit blurry... it something having to do with the 3D technology.  Have you seen The Hobbit yet?  Did you love it?

My favorite parts of the movie involved Gandalf and were quite quotable:

Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay... small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps it is because I am afraid and he gives me courage! 

But if you do, remember this: true courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one. 

Red Box It ♥ What to Expect When You're Expecting

Light, fluffy & fun.  Definitely worth a Red Box rental.  An all-star cast and lot of funny moments.  What to expect when you're expecting is a fun spin on pregnancy (something I know absolutely nothing about).  My friend who is actually pregnant said she didn't want to see Hollywood's version of pregnancy and set up unrealistic expectations.  (I'm sure this is absolutely true.)  But it's most definitely an entertaining movie!

Odds & Ends ❤ Angelina Jolie is Maleficent

Looks like Angelina Jolie is going to make quite the Maleficent.  The Disney film is in production and currently slated for a March 2014 release.  The movie's storyline is all about the villain.  I don't know about you, but Maleficent was definitely the scariest villain in my childhood.  I still remember imagining seeing her down the hallway at night--it was quite spooky!

At the cinema ❤ Mirror Mirror

This was a much more traditional take on the Snow White fairytale (compared with Snow White and the Huntsman). I ended up catching this flick at the cheap theater (yay $4 movies at Valley Theater). It was a cute movie with great costumes and a very comedic take on Snow White. It is completely appropriate for children.


My favorite quote from the wicked queen: "No matter how many times I do it. I still get excited on my wedding day. "

At the cinema ❤ Snow White and the Huntsman

I finally saw it with my lovely friend Julie.  I thought this movie looked amazing (especially Charlize Theron as the evil queen).

And indeed she was fabulous.  The acting, the costumes, everything.  The storyline brought more depth to the evil queen than the traditional snow white story.  You actually got to see how the evil queen came to be.


I also enjoyed some of the beautiful scenery in the movie.  It was definitely nice to see the forests on the big screen.


And Kristen Stewart... Love her?  Hate her?  Love to hate her?  I have friends that do it all. I can definitely see the point that it's somewhat unconvincing to have her be the "fairest in the land."  One of my friends at work suggested Megan Cox would have been a great Snow White.  And while Megan Cox certainly has a gorgeous face, I don't think I could ever be convinced she was innocent and pure.  I like that the storyline makes it clear that Snow White is the fairest in the land for her heart, not her face.  And this is a good message for all of us who can get too focused on outward beauty.
