shrek, whip it, and eq2 addition: halas reborn

alrighty so i figured i ought to get back into blogging since i've let it slide a bit but now find myself with a smidgen of time to report on my movie and random video game experiences. the movie reviews are going to be short for now but hopefully in later posts i'll have some more time to elongate later reviews.

shrek forever after - 6/10 snaps - i actually enjoyed this film a lot and think that it's great for families as the humor is somewhat adult but the kiddies seem to enjoy it too so at least rent it. i have to admit i'm not the hugest fan of the shrek series and have yet to see shrek the third. don't get me wrong, they're funny and definitely enjoyable but just not my favorite film series. the only qualm i have with this one is that it had a rather short running time (about an hour and a half). i only wish that donkey/dragon crosses were real...

whip it - 7/10 snaps - roller derby is bitchin! i like ellen page and a ton of the other actors/actresses that were in this film (drew barrymore, alia shawkat [arrested development], kristen wiig, juliette lewis, the list goes on and on). i feel that this was a nice chick coming of age story for our time and find it definitely rent worthy.

eq2: halas reborn - for a free update to the game with a new starting city that i'm just beginning to explore with my new baby wood elf illusionist i have to say that i'm enjoying the questline. my only problem thus far has been lack of mailboxes in various outposts so that i can expand my inventory. my favorite addition has been the new sets of armor. check out my beautiful illu with her kicking threads (it even makes her facial tattoos look good).


granted she's only a level 14 illusionist but i may keep this look for her for awhile. plus it's really chilly in halas with all that ice and snow.

well off to play some more everquest 2 and work on thank you cards. have a fantastic evening and enjoy the silence.
