In the Life of Kendy....

I have decided it is time for some movie reviews!

A couple weeks ago I went to go see The Dark Knight. It was amazing! The night before we watched Batman Begins to get us in the mood for the new movie. There was quite a lot of hype about The Dark Knight, so I was a little apprehensive because it is usually not true. But after seeing this movie I have to say that I agree with all the wonderful things that were said about it! Such a great plot and all the characters were superb! A couple of things that bother me about the movie were first, the really low voice of Batman. He almost sounded like an old lady that had been smoking all her life. Personally it could have been a little more normal. The last thing that upset me was that they killed a character that could have had a great run in the next movie! I won't say who was killed because I don't want to ruin it for anyone. Now the positive aspects of the movie... there were some amazing action scenes! Some a little violent but overall it was bearable. So if you have the opportunity to see The Dark Knight you must go! You will soon have a very similar opinion to mine!

Now moving on to the other movie that I went to see this past weekend... Mamma Mia!!! I was a little nervous about seeing this movie because I have never been interested in the Broadway Musical. After seeing Mamma Mia, all nerves aside, it was just about the most hysterical movie I have seen this year! The ABBA music made you want to go straight out and buy the soundtrack. The characters were so funny and did such a great job in their roles. Basically throughout the entire movie I just wanted get up and be the dancing queen in the movie theater. Sorry, bad joke on that one. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire show! Now if you have an opportunity to see this movie, it is a must see for the summer! Simply amazing.

It is always really tough to get out of a slump week. It is not very much fun when you have so many things go wrong all in one week. You sometimes wish they would be spaced out or something. This past week my wonderful faithful computer of over 4 years finally had it last run. It just wouldn't start again! It saddens me greatly. One of the worst parts about it is that everything was on that computer! I promise I backed it up, but the hardrive is at home! The other bad things about this horrifying experience is that I had to buy another computer. Now I know some don't see this as a bad thing but when you really don't have all the money to purchase a brand new computer it kind of puts a dent in things. Oh well... I am just hoping that they will be able to get everything off my computer because I really don't want to have nothing until I go home and update my computer with the other hardrive. Heavens!!

One good aspect of this weekend is that I had the privilege to see The Dark Knight!! It was AMAZING! I have to admit I was a anticipating a huge disappointment, because whenever someone tells me about a new movie and proclaim its greatness, I am a tad bit wary. But oh this movie did not disappoint in any way! It was exciting and I have to say quite violent! Meaning in the sense of some gruesome ways of people dying, but not really showing it. Just the imagery was enough for me!! Overall it was a superb movie! I would go see it again in a heartbeat! For all of you who have are debating on seeing the movie.. GO SEE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!! Well that is about all I have to say about that. :)

This past week I have had my sister staying with me. A couple of years ago she visited me and it was about a week too long. I love my sister but sometimes it drains me a little too much. This time when she came to visit she brought her friend with her. Two sixteen year olds living in a small apartment, I have to be honest, is worse than having six roommates. It was just physically and emotionally draining to have them both here! Don't get me wrong, I loved having them visit, but it takes a lot out of me! My sister's friend had never been to Utah before so we did some of the classic sites. We went to the dollar theater first and foremost. This was my brothers all-time favorite place to take dates here his freshman year. The next item of our list of fun was to take a little trip to Park City. My sister loves outlet malls! It seems like a perfect solution to take them out there for a small shopping extravaganza. My favorite part of their entire trip was our tour of Salt Lake. My sister's friend's mother wanted only one thing for her daughter to see and that was Temple Square. We first started at the Conference Center. I have never taken the entire tour so it was very interesting. Out next trip was around the temple, the Provo Tabernacle, and lastly the visitor center. It was a good trip and we all enjoyed it! The other must have trips were restaurants. The classic of Cafe Rio, Fuddruckers, Rumbi, and finally Macaroni Grill. It was simply superb! Even with our differences my sister and I have we had a wonderful time. I learned a lot about her and it was an enjoyable time to have her here in Provo.
