Since my whiny first post back about not seeing any movies or buying any CD's, I've done both this past week. I'm just in a better mood all around, not having to get up at 5:30 in the morning to teach the monsters. 7:30 is much better, thank you very much. Anyways, here's a short review of each.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: A lot of fun. To me, the first 2 were still better, but this one was definitely entertaining. It just seemed like the filmmakers were always trying to top themselves, and it got a little old after a while. But still, a very enjoyable movie.
Knocked Up: Hilarious. Same director as The 40 Year Old Virgin (one of Lacey and I's faves), and he hit another out of the park. Touching at times, funny throughout, and oh yeah, VERY R-rated, so beware. But sheesh, some of the married/baby humor hit the nail right on the head. I really thought it was a quality movie, not just a funny one, and I really had a great time. Now onto the CD's:
The Fray - How to Save a Life: Excellent throughout. Has a number of good tracks on top of the radio hits. Very well crafted, and some great songs.
Plain White T's - Every Second Counts: More "punk"-ish than I thought it would be, but it's got some good songs on there. I'm fairly pleased, although it's not my first choice of style. Has kind of a Weezer feel to it at times.
Carrie Underwood - Some Hearts: This was for Lacey. Oh, who am I kidding? That song about cheating is downright catchy! I haven't listened to hardly any of the album, but Lacey likes it and that's all that matters.

I really want to see Knocked Up. I'm glad to hear that it's a good movie and not just a funny movie.
