The minions were cute, but the story was so-so.<br /><br />I watched Monsters University recently, and really liked it. I agree that it didn't have much of a soul, but it was still enjoyable. <br /><br />I think I'll check out Despicable Me 2 on your recommendation. none providedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739841706450523666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-51850595003843548852013-07-18T11:38:42.125-07:002013-07-18T11:38:42.125-07:00David: That's good to hear.

Glad...David: Which of their novels are you reading?<br />Glad you got House safe and sound. You should see the condition of the package I just sent to BftS.<br /><br />Alex: Well, we can hope.<br />I think you only thought the plot was thin because you don't have kids and couldn't really appreciate what he was going through with his daughters.<br /><br />JKIR,F!: That's certainly how my daughter felt about it.<br /><br />PT: Oh, it's definitely worth seeing. The first one, that is. If you don't like that one, then, of course, you shouldn't bother with the second. If you liked Toy Story 1 & 2, you should see 3.<br /><br />Eve: You should definitely sit down and watch all three Toy Story movies. It may be the only series ever where it's just impossible to decide which is the best one.<br /><br />Tina: They are hilarious!<br /><br />Sheena: Yeah, MU fell flat for me. Fun, but that was about it.<br /><br />Michael: Oh, man, Aziz was awesome as that slug! And I liked Epic, but it was pretty typical overall.<br /><br />Briane: Oh, yeah, she does. She calls them... "brothers." heh<br />I remember the first movie my oldest sat through: Anastasia. He was entranced. For my second, well, that actually depends on what part of his life we're talking, I guess, but that's another story. I can't actually remember with my daughter. She kept us out of movies for years.<br /><br />Jo: Probably not. I spent years trying to like crab because I thought I should. I finally had to just accept, "No, I don't like crab." So, if you didn't like it the first time, it's probably not likely that that will change.<br /><br />Jeanne: Movie makers for sure.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-13268765775876269262013-07-17T19:18:50.471-07:002013-07-17T19:18:50.471-07:00It's rare that a sequel is as good as the firs...It's rare that a sequel is as good as the first movie.

He and Sweetie and The Boy saw it on July 5. She has been waiting for him to take thaf step so it was a great day. That also speaks well of the movie.<br /><br />Mr F and I, meanwhile, opted to go to a playground and go on a slide.

I saw Monsters University at the movies however and though I was skeptical because it was a prequel instead of an original it turned out to have all the heart and realness of a Pixar movie. So sorry if it wasn't so great for you. I do plan to see the Minion movie when it comes out though.Sheena-kay Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712661419116636671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-83728678407902151802013-07-17T11:08:53.366-07:002013-07-17T11:08:53.366-07:00Love me some minions - which is why we called our ...Love me some minions - which is why we called our A-Z Challenge helpers minions - and can't wait to see this one.<br />Tina @ <a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life is Good</a>Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-28905911096356166442013-07-17T10:53:36.371-07:002013-07-17T10:53:36.371-07:00Hey Andrew!
