Madagascar 2

O ... M ... G :)

I haven't seen an animanted movie this funny in a long time, particularly not a sequel. Even the Shrek sequels may not be funnier than this. Wow!

I'm such an easy laugh I guess but this had me crying in more than a few parts. With some certainty I can easily say that my family was concerned about me, and my laughing/snorting got a little outta control. :) Good times!

Its not often that I laugh so hard that I can't stop and those little "giggle quakes" keep happening. But the penguins ... omg, the penguins ... so funny!

When the plane "launched" from Madagascar I was cry-laughing so hard I missed part of the movie. We watched that part of the movie over this morning and I lost it all over again. The lead penguin just slays me. As does King Julien ... who had some very funny, nearly awkwardly funny moments and those made me laugh all the more.

There were so many good lines from this movie its hard to repeat them all. But to say this is better than the first movie is an understatement. Its one of those rare times where the first movie really seems, in hindsight, like it was created as an intro to the second movie with the second movie being the one intended all along.

"Sir we only have 2 passengers unaccounted for."
"Thats a number I can live with!"

Hahahaha, that makes me laugh just to write it down. And then when the penguins were the only ones who could mess with the old lady from Yonkers ... when they backed up just to ram her again with the Jeep ... funny stuff!

/wipes tear .... ahhhhhh ... my kinda movie! And yeah we ALL loved it!

Thanks for the recommendation Jenn!

Family night: 02/27/2009

Rob's night to pick

Agenda:

• Double feature movie night! Now playing ...
• Madagascar 2
• Cheaper By the Dozen 2

Menu:

• Homemade pizza! Man that wife of mine can make some dough and flat throw down a great pizza. I'd rather have this than any pizza place I've been too.

Thoughts:

• Once we move, I wonder if the Coppocks will be interested in coming over for a family night get together sometime? I for one really, really wanna do that. :)

Family night: 02/20/2009

This family night was Josh's night to pick. We went out for a rare trip to Chuck E Cheese. Not Dad's favorite place I have to tell you but we had fun nonetheless. We basically go there for the video games and pizza. Even when Josh was little, he never was really into the rodent of unusual size. :P

So we had some pizza, spent lots of tokens on games and hung out and had a good time. Then we headed back home. Once back we greeted our always-super-happy-to-see-us, puppy dog. After things settled down, Josh picked out the movie which seems to be all the rage on Nick right now Spectacular.

I have to say it was pretty good really. I was surprised. Yeah sure, lots of cheesy musical numbers but once you get your teeth set for that, you're okay really. The story was a basic one of morals, choosing to keep your promises even though it might not be comfortable; all that kinda stuff.

Not being a *huge* musicals fan, I still liked it. Cause wow, those kids can all sing and dance. Tis a far cry from The Sound of Music (which is a guilty pleasure of mine). The music, being more modern and upbeat was very cool. There was no language, it was an easy story to follow, and there wasn't any *sexiness* in it that would rule it out for younger kids even. It was just good, clean fun.

Later!

Family night: 02/06/2009

Rob's night to pick



Menu: Pizza, frozens. Gotta have a frozen one every once in awhile. Also a bully-stick for the puppy ... she loves those on family nights as a special treat.



Agenda:
Double feature movie night, the part of threes ... (X-men 3 and Karate Kid part 3). My mom is stopping by for the weekend so we'll be visiting with her too.

Hmmm, I wonder if the Coppocks will ever drop by for a visit after we move to TX? Hope so!
