Going to the Movies

Well I finally got some free time and decided that I would go see a movie that I have been wanting to see since the middle of Dec. Eragon, it's based on a series of books. Of course it being the beginning of Jan I have heard things about this movie so going in I didn't have very high hopes. I mean I loved the books but heard that they movie is nothing like the book. After seeing it I have to say that I loved that movie. Yes it's a very condensed version of the book but most movies made from books are less detailed then the book. The SFX were AWESOME and the acting was good. Yes the story left out a lot of details but I think if you hadn't read the books you would still understand the overall story. I plan on buying it when it comes out on DVD.

Since I was at the movies and haven't been in quite a while I figure I would see another movie that I have wanted to see. Happily N'ever After, well I thought this movie looked cute from the previews but it's just okay. The story isn't that great and for that matter, there really isn't much a story. Also it wasn't that funny... it was trying to be a Shrek and it was no where near as good as the Shrek movies.

So I saw an AWESOME movie (Eragon) and a SO SO movie (Happily N'ever After).
