7/4/2008 EVILKIM ON FILM: Who says I'm not "family friendly"?
Happy July 4th ya'll!!!! It's Friday! Yay!! And now you have a whole weekend to look forward to! Double Yay!! And some of you have kiddies. Wouldn't it be cool to pop a bunch of popcorn, take a break from the summer heat and watch a good family movie?
Well have I got a movie for you!
We here in Gossipopolis would like to suggest to you...
Here's the Amazon review dealie for you to eyeball:
"An irresistible concept meets computer-generated wonders in Night at the Museum, inspired by a 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc. Ben Stiller stars as Larry Daley, an underachieving inventor waiting for his ship to come in while getting evicted from one apartment after another for lack of funds. Larry's son needs some stability, so the well-meaning ne'er-do-well takes a job as night watchman at New York City's Museum of Natural History. What the soon-to-retire guards (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs) don't tell him is that an ancient pharaoh's tablet in the museum causes everything on display to come to life at night. Thus, Larry meets representations of Teddy Roosevelt, Attila the Hun, fire-worshipping cavemen, and Roman Empire soldiers, and learns to cope with an excitable T-Rex and man-eating, ancient animals. The film might have left things at that, but an added story element gives Night at the Museum some extra urgency and excitement, especially fo! r kids: Larry becomes responsible for keeping this nightly miracle going and preventing anything in the museum from dying due to exposure to sunrise. Computer effects, as well as wildly imaginative costumes and makeup, help make the film appeal to the 8-year-old in everyone."
Super fun for the whole family! And come on....ROBIN WILLIAMS! He hasn't made a bad movie yet (O.K...I'll give you TOYS. That did kind of suck.). But really...it is a superb cast and the story is just perfection. Rip-roaring fun...as the reviewers always say ;-)
Need a clippy? Here you go!
So why not take some time to just kick back, relax and enjoy a cinema break this weekend. You know you deserve it!
