Went and saw vacation yesterday.. Not too bad... Not too good, definitely had some laugh out loud moments..

What it was missing:

Christina Applegate in a white teddy

Some of cousin Eddies kids making an appearance

And just the general feeling of the original movies... The kids didnt have the same appeal as the previous movies...

And its defin R rated- we took our teenagers and while they laughed there were a lot of things i was a tad embarrassed to be sitting next to them(especially some parts i shouldnt have been laughing at)

If you liked the previous vacations its worth seeing just dont go in with very high expectations..

 
Watched "The Way" last night. Martin Sheen, Emelio Estevez, and a couple of people you recognize but can't figure out where you've seen them before (e.g. the Dutch guy was the fat rapist from the American "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", the girl was the crazy old mother in Silent Hill and played Colette in The Salton Sea).

Long story short, guy's son is a "free spirit" who goes to walk the Camino de Santiago, dies a day into it, father goes to get him but opts to walk the Camino himself to spready his sons ashes along the way.

Best words to describe it was "meh". Had pretty high ratings on Amazon, but was categorized as a comedy, which it was not.

 
Watched Escape Plan a couple days ago. Stallone and Arnie. Pretty good watch if you liked any of the Expendables movies.

 
"Moon" with Sam Rockwell:

Could be just me, but I thought it was very good, maybe even awesome.

No explosions, no helicopters, but after the big surprise (which comes pretty early), I thought it was cool to watch Rockwell act his way through "OK, wth do we do NOW?"

Ok, maybe not "awesome", but I liked it.

 
Watched "Chappie" with the kids. I thought it was pretty good, definitely better than expected.

 
"Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart"

Oh, a nice PG movie to watch with junior. Nope, wrong.

Kid is born with a frozen heart. Mother immediately abandons him in the middle of the night. Heart is replaced with a cuckoo clock. If the kid ever falls in love, the heart stops.

-Kid meets a girl. Ensuing musical number contains many adult references, and flowers grow out of the girl's boobs (she's +- 10 years old in the movie)

-Kid has a near heart-attack. Witch who takes care of him after mother abandons him gives him a "tune up", saves him. Witch is friend with a pair of prostitutes, one of whom has a wooden leg. Prostitutes give the kid new clothes they pulled off a dead guy after f'ing him to death (this is in the dialogue of this movie.)

-Bully is in love with same kid as a girl. Picks on the kid until kid's cuckoo clock staps the bully in the eye. Kid goes on the run.

-Kid rides train on the run, where for some unknown reason, Jack the Ripper appears and tries to stab him to death.

-Kid finds out the girl is in the circus, gives her the literal key to his heart.

-Bully shows back up, explains situation to girl, girl doesn't want to risk killing kid by making him fall in love, dejected kid goes home.

-Kid shows up at home, witch/family/friends all dead.

-Girl shows back up, chased after him with the key to his heart. Gives him key, he decides love is more important than life, kisses girl, dies.

Entire movie is filled with f*cked up musical numbers along the way. Movie is French, clearly all high as a f*cking kite when they wrote it.

 
Watched Hercules with Dwayne Johnson. Was not expecting much and received even less than that. I feel sorry for anyone who went to the movie theater to see this movie.

 
Supe: Based on your description that movie sounds hilarious. Is it animated?

 
Yup. The whole thing in all its glory is on Youtube. From what little i watched its very well animated, but weirder than Jonny Depp. Not one I'll be watching with the kiddos any time soon.
