I went to the movies today with my mom. Here's what we saw.

Movie Review: Race to Witch Mountain

What do witches, mountainous lairs, star troopers, NASCAR, and ex-pro wrestler Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson have in common? Absolutely nothing. But if you feel like a feel-good faily movie starring an ex-pro wrestler, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, then Race to Witch Mountain is your movie.

Dwayne plays an at-the-wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time excon taxi driver, Jack Bruno, who picks up alien children that crash landed on to the Earth, looking for a way to save their planet from near death without conquering our planet. Totally makes sense. However, there's this assassin bred from their home planet's military that lands on Earth too, somehow, to wipe out the kids before they can show how to save their world. Sucks for Earth doesn't it?

It has the standards: The 3D effects, the sexy female lead, the Disney happy ending.

I do have to say something about the 3D effects of one scene. When all the government agents are shooting the four of them while they're getting on the ship, they could've made a different choice. Seth can supposedly manipulate molecular density, so when he held hands with everyone they were immune to all the bullets. However, when that scene happened, they slowed down the frames but not the audio. It wasn't even a good slo-mo either. It made my brain confused. X(

Storyline is weird. Either stuff happens to come along to give a convenient explanation and direction of plot, but then you would wonder about the little things. You would wonde about why would super powerful alien kids need the assisstance of humans anyway? Or what happened to those bounty hunters after the science convention? Or why did we need the female doctor again? 

It still had its moments. You wouldn't think of an excon taxi driver falling in love with a UFO doctorate now would you? And it just goes to show that, no matter what background, we are all capable of good things, (ie help two children aliens to go from Vegas to dessert to Vegas to Witch Mountain and almost getting killed at least ten times). If you're a sucker for this kind of storyline, then expect a wholesome, almost tearjerker in the end when you wave good bye at the movie screen.

Overall, if you feel like a Disney SciFi movie to stare at Dwayne Johnson's super buff arms, here you go.

I don't have a BlackBerry so I can't be *BlackBuried*, but I saw one today at the Verizon Wireless store, which was next to the Men's Warehouse where I bought my tux shirt today for the Choir concerts next week.

I'm broadcasting tonight from the house if you are wondering. I asked my mom to stay over here for the weekend while my aunt and the children are spending the weekend at the beach. I will be back at the apartment on Sunday.

Hopefully I'll finish my Chemistry work before then. T_T
