Family night: 04/17/2009

Dad's night to pick

Menu:
Pizza from a new joint (to us) .. Stephanina's .. the word from us that its pretty good stuff. I still enjoy Heather's pizza better than this but I have guilt asking her to cook on family night. So I'm always on the lookout for really good pizza, on the cheap. This was pretty low cost and very good pizza - thin crust is all they do - and that's coolio with cause I'm all about the toppings. We kept it simple and went with beef and pepperoni. It was delish!

Agenda:
Pizza (duh, it IS family night at the Horton's - it's all we eat on Friday's folks).
Two movies: The Day the Earth Stood Still (the new version) and Bolt

Comments:
Quick review on TDTESS. I really enjoyed this. Even Josh commented on the fact that he liked it. Heather also thought it was pretty good. Honestly I guess the trailer to this movie had jaded me to it. From the trailer one got the impression that Hollywood was going to royally boof the old movie and try to reinvent it. It was very very close to the original classic. The effects were seriously updated and there were some twists that the original didn't have. GORT was very very cool - he's always been my very favorite movie robot. I got the feeling that if the technology had been up to the task back in 1951, that perhaps this is the story they would have told back then. I enjoyed this movie. And I still like Keanu Reeves; I've been a fan of his since he played Ted "Theodore" Logan. You have to admire a man who has built his entire career on the ability to say the word "whoa". Excellent work Ted.
