When you ask your four year old what’s for movie night, what do they chose?

Mine chose this, when her turn rolled around again:

(more…)

A few days back it was movie night, but some­body is slack­ing and not keep­ing up. No nam­ing nec­es­sary, kick­ing peo­ple when they are down is not nice.

It was Miss Fab’s turn to choose and she picked:

________________

Hello Dolly

Another clas­sic musi­cal. Very enjoy­able and the music is fun, with „Put on your sun­day clothes” and „Hello Dolly” being the most famous. Its long, but the girls made it almost with­out notice, so I would mark it as worth it.

There is a fan­tas­tic sequence in the restau­rant towards the end, which is oh so good.

Here is a bit for you to enjoy.

This week we got our free blu-ray player that came in with the TV and Mr.Blab was sure he wanted to see it in its full glory and so went out to the movie rental store to find a suit­able disc. And he came back with this:

________

Wall-E

What a won­der­ful lit­tle movie. I didnt have great expec­ta­tions for it, but it sur­prised me with its under­stated approach and deal­ing with issues that are quite current.

Not much dia­logue, but the non-verbal com­mu­ni­ca­tion between two robots is exe­cuted so well, that you dont even notice. The ani­ma­tion is beau­ti­ful and the detail on blu-ray takes your breath away, but fur­ther into the movie I didnt even acknowl­edge it, as it had pulled me in so well, the tech­ni­cal side went well off my atten­tion radar.

This week was my turn to pick a movie. My choice was Saturday Night Fever, but the disk would not play at the cru­cial moment — pop­corn ready, peo­ple in seats..pressure.

So I made a call on the spot and this was it:

Funny Girl

This movie is from 1968, quite a few years back. Its 2.5 hours long and its push­ing it a bit. The story is about Fanny who comes from the poor part of town and has a dream of being an actress. Gets her way through and becomes a suc­cess. Meets up Nick, the gam­bler, and a love affair blos­soms. The tri­als and tribu­la­tions around all that with a few songs, some bet­ter than oth­ers. „People” and „Dont Rain on My Parade” come from this musical.

I enjoyed it, but the story line was a bit thin and the char­ac­ters didnt win me over, or maybe its because Baby Blab called me a few times and I lost the plot.

Ms. Fab: .

Little B : retired to her quar­ters for sleep .

It was Ms.Fab’s turn to choose a movie, so…surprise, sur­prise! Harry Potter it is!

She has been a fan for awhile and what really amazed me is that she still enjoys the books, even though she has seen all the movies already.

She took one cam­era off for it being scary . Me? I still pre­fer the first one.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Little B :  fell asleep     .

Mr.Blab and I were dis­cussing what to do for Valentines and it was decided that since it was movie night as well, to com­bine it and make a nib­bles pic­nic in the liv­ing room and watch a love movie with the kiddies.

It was the lit­tle one’s turn to chose what we watch, so I gave her the option of Funny Girl, Funny Lady, West Side Story and Hello Dolly. She picked the gang one

So I went to our favorite gro­cery shop and picked a few yummy things, Mr.Blab brought home the deserts and we were ready.
