Horrible Horrible News

The Anheuser Busch theme parks will be discontinuing their free sampling of Beer and Beer School as of January 2009.

That means............Seaworld will now Suck -Except for Kracken and their new Manta Rollercoaster which opens in 2009.

We are very disapointed.

Role Models

Overview

Two salesmen trash a company truck on an energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program. Surrounded by annoying do-gooders, Danny struggles with his every neurotic impulse to guide Augie through the trials of becoming a man. Meanwhile, charming Wheeler tries to trade in an addiction to partying and women to assist a fifth-grader named Ronnie redirect his foul-mouthed ways. Once the center’s ex-con director gives them an ultimatum, Danny and Wheeler are forced to tailor their brand of immature wisdom to their charges.

Overall Opinion:

Rae: (Please forgive me if this one is a little vague. It's been over a week and a half since I've seen it...) Overall I thought it was a really funny movie. Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott (who just always seems to exude hotness, no matter what) were amazing as always. They brought their different comedic styles together very well and made a great team. Their interactions with the kids were very realistic portrayals of what I would assume to see if those types of people were actually put in that situation. That being said, Ronnie's character had the best comedic timing of the whole movie. He was hilarious and brought a slight element of surprise to the plot. I definitely would recommend seeing it in the theater. Well worth the money.

Jen: Elizabeth Banks must be banking, shes been in quite a few movies lately and I saw her in more trailers, I'm glad she can play diverse roles. I enjoyed this movie, I laughed consistantly throughout it, and thought that the plot line was good. I love Paul Rudd's humor and Stiffler is always a good character. I really think that Ronnie (Wheeler's little) made the movie, something about when little kids say bad words makes me laugh. I liked Auggie (aka McLovin), his voice makes me laugh, and the fact that I actually knew about the activity he was interested in was really funny (yes those people really are that strange). In all I'd definatly recommend seeing it, it was a good somewhat clean comedy.

Rating Categories(rate on a 0-5 scale)

Rae

Acting: Hmm, maybe a 4. Comedies require less actual acting skills, but the comedic timing is something that requires skill also. This is also harder to learn, and is something that comes naturally to the actors in this movie.

Story: 4. It kept my interest throughout the whole movie. My favorite was when Paul Rudd's character basically went insane. He was awesomely asshole-ish to everyone.
Music: 1. I don't remember any of the songs that were played in the movie. However, if you include the "song" that Paul Rudd sings to Elizabeth Banks at the end then I'd have to give it a 3. That song was hilarious.
Overall Rating: 4. Good story, very entertaining.
Buy/Rent: Rent and then burn.
Ending Comments: Anyone else wanna join LAIRE? JK! Cuz I value myself as a person. :)

And I honestly can't really pick between this one and Zack and Miri. They were such different types of comedies. This was more of a feel good comedy, which was really nice for a change.

Jen

Acting: 4 for Ronnie and Paul Rudd's comedic timing...
Story: 3.5 Not all that original, but different from anything out lately
Music: 2 I can't even rememeber the music played in it.
Overall Rating: 4
Buy/Rent: I'd netflix the movie when it comes out. It was cute and funny but not enough to own.
Ending Comments: Oooh Paul Rudd... How you've changed for the better since your clueless days.... I still can't stop thinking of you as Josh..

Favorite line: "I think if I told him I was taking him to Quiddich practice he'd cream his pants!"

Sorry guys... But I liked Zack and Miri as a comedy better...

Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Overview of the Story:
Lifelong friends and roommates Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are facing hard times and a mountain of debt. When the electricity and plumbing get cut off, they seize upon the idea of making a homegrown porno movie for some quick cash, enlisting the help of their friends. The two vow that having sex will not ruin their friendship. But as filming begins, what started out as a business proposition between friends turns into something much more. (www.zackandmiri.com)

Overall Opinion:
Rae: Well, I might be a little biased based on the fact that I completely love Kevin Smith movies, so I obviously thought this one was great! The movie started off hilarious and continued to be so for the majority of the rest of it. As it usually happens with this type of movie, however, it got a little slower towards the end. An acceptable trait however. I was also more a fan of the supporting characters than of the main characters. They brought so much depth and diversification to the movie making it all that much more entertaining to watch. It is definitely worth going to see!


Jen: If you like Crude Comedy with an interesting plot this movie is for you. Its not Kevin Smith's Best comedy but its definatly a good one to see. I loved the Mac Guy!! he was so good in this movie! Also Loved Darrell from the Office's Character! they Both made the movie! The first half is hilarious, once they start adding in a little love story and the movie is coming to a closure, it turns a little downhill. Overall it really is funny, I would say its one of the top comedies of the year, definatly of the season.

"You Complete Me"

So we thought it would be funny to post an email convo we had recently. Makes us sound like total lesbians, but we're not. Or as Craig once said, "You two are the straightest lesbians I've ever met."

Rae: omg i miss you already!!! :) feels like its been way longer than 3 days since ive seen you...
hope ur doing well!

Jen:

Dude I know!!! lol how crazy is that I mean we've gone longer w/o seeing each other why is it harder this time LOL (wow i sound like i'm talking to a bf who just moved away)

Rae: hahaha i know. but thats totally what it feels like!!!

One Last Horrah before Rachael Leaves..

Today Rachael moves back home to Navarre (Pensacola area) before she moved home the Duo went on an outing in the Orlando area...
It started out with Them meeting up at Ikea for a cheap lunch (Hey you can't go wrong for $2.50 for 2 Hot Dogs, Chips and a Drink!) And of Course Hot dogs are one of their favorite foods so it worked out quite well. They discussed the outcome of the horrible UCF game and how they both feel that UCF should Fire Tim Salem, because he's Obviously not doing his job! O'Leary really isn't the greatest coach either, but they both feel its Salem's fault because the offense at UCF sucks, and the Defense can't carry the team.

After Lunch they drove to Downtown Disney to check out the 2008 Festival Of the Masters! This is an acclaimed National Art show that showcased over dozens of national artists. While down there they discovered that the new dinosaur place T-REX was Now Open!

They were so excited, and checked it out. Turns out its basically a Rainforest Cafe type restaurant but only it is Dinosaur themed. It was extremely innovative, a great themed restaurant. Inside they have a small store, with a Build-a-dino (which is like Build a bear but dinosaurs.) All over the Restaurant are animtronic animals and dinosaurs all over the walls that made noise, along with the ceiling looking like stars and tons of hanging foliage. It looked like a fun place to dine, But since it was recently opened and during the Festival it was way too crowded (And a little pricey for what we wanted to spend that day..) Defiantly looking forward to lunch or dinner there sometime in the near future though.

Here are some of the Pictures to high light the Festival of the Masters, As you can see we both really enjoy colorful pieces, And Pop-Art. The Bears one is really cool because its made completely out of NAILS!!!

After enjoying the Art show Rachael and Jennie decided to go to Universal's Islands of Adventure since they were in need of a nice adrenaline Rush! So they went on the two best Rollercoasters The Hulk, and Dueling Dragons. Then one of their favorite rides the Sneaches in Seuss Landing. Even though its intended for kids its a great ride because It goes around the entire Seuss landing and is just a really relaxing ride. Turns out that Both paths turn into eachother and is actually just a big circle. It was still a lot of fun so they went on that twice.

After going to IOA they headed over to Universal, We got excited when we were told we could watch the filming of something for free so getting excited we went over to see what it was, turns out it was just PPV wrestling, so that being lame, we just went on the Mummy. After riding the Mummy it was time to meet up with Rachael's dad for dinner. We all decided to go to Margaritaville since it was good prices and yummy food. Pretty fun relaxing day, all in all good times.

Here are a few extra pictures:

Us with Betty Boop (Who We've never seen out before) She was adorable and even talked like her!

One of our Signature Pictures...
On the Way out they decided to go through one of the Shops and Found these Cute little Thing 1 and Thing 2 Characters, Of course they decided against Purchasing them when they discovered they cost $4.99 (What a rip off) So We took picutres of and with them instead.
