Today I took the afternoon with the family and when to the movies. The movie was “Transformers 2 Revenge Of The Fallen”. I’m completely biased in what relates to Transformers, because I’m a fan for years, but movie is great. With lots of action, it has very cool special FXs, not to mention the perfect Megan Fox.
This was me during my last vacations. Sitting on the couch, watching tv, doing nothing at all… Well, I was sitting on the couch and watching tv!
It took some time but I managed to ‘kill’ most of what was waiting on my “to watch” list. The top three movies I watched were:
Transporter 3, a good action movie with lots of… action, and also some shooting and some fast driving
Quantum of Solace, nice Bond girls but didn’t quite understood what was actually the ‘quantum of solace’
and Mamma Mia, the latest ABBA musical remake.
Now, about Mamma Mia, there is much to be said. First, let me start by stating that I usually hate musicals, but with Mamma Mia it was different. It is true that listening to a duet with Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep almost cost me an hear drum - Pierce Brosnan really needed a couple more music lessons, but the actual movie was quite good. A funny result from watching the movie is that my daughter is now a major fan of ABBA.
