Cheddar, Swiss, Gouda... "George and the Dragon"

Last night we had a responsibility-free night (no dishes, no school work, no chores). To celebrate, the kids and I went out to Redbox for a few dvd's. Okay, so "Night at the Museum" is, eh, okay, funny enough. Adam Sandler is not going to challenge your thinking. He's also not going to teach you anything new in the history department, despite the fact that the movie is based in the Museum of Natural History. It's predictable, with enough laughs to say it was worth the $1.05 it cost.
However, "George and the Dragon" was not worth the $1.05. It is, as the title of this post alludes to, cheesy. Very cheesy. I suppose they think that American "tweens" are not very intelligent, as they are the target of this movie. The fighting is overly choreographed, the dragon animation really sticks out, and the acting is, eh, cheesy. Apparently girls are stronger and more intelligent than guys, and they can stay clean and extremely well-groomed during a fight in an old castle that catches on fire. Yeah, I guess I will never be a princess if that is one of the requirements.

Ah, a "responsibility free" night. Sounds like a great idea. I might take that up as a weekly holiday! lOL Anyways, just found you via the next blog button and wanted to say hello. Take care, have a great weekend, and happy Mother's day!
