Going on Holiday to a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Well, you can count on me to get waaaaaaay behind on blogging about movie club. I have 5 blogs to do, and it just took me 5 minutes to figure out what movies we've seen and when! Now that I have them in order, here goes...

I believe this movie night happened in mid-July at Chuck & Brooke's house. We watched my pick of Roman Holiday, and Chuck's pick of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. On to the reviews!

Roman Holiday

Picked by: Stacy

Why Picked: I know that when my list gets known to the rest of the group, no one is going to be excited about this one - ESPECIALLY Dave. But that's the whole point of the movie club. This is a black and white classic with Audrey Hepburn, set in Rome. It is lighthearted, funny, simply entertaining....and I have been to Rome, so I enjoy the scenery. It takes me back (-:

Brooke: Two thumbs up!

I loved that they filmed the entire movie in Rome. The chemistry between Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck was fantastic. So sad, I was waiting for them to end up together.

Chuck: Two thumbs up!

Two things; I like that it reminds me of Italy. And the way it shows that sometimes you have to do what's right instead of what you want.

Steph: Two thumbs up!

Adorable. Loved the movie. Audrey Hepburn is precious. Loved the scenery and the good old fashioned qualities of the characters. Wow! What chemistry between AH & GP!

Dave: Two thumbs up!

I enjoyed this movie surprisingly! It reminded me of a cross between Aladdin and Coming to America. Good flick.

Stacy: Two thumbs up!

Audrey Hepburn is just so darn cute! I loved this movie mostly because it was filmed entirely in Rome, but also because of the great chemistry between the characters played by Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. I LOVE that both the boys gave it two thumbs up!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Picked by: Chuck

Why Picked: It's a movie that I have never seen.

Brooke: Two thumbs down

I have no idea what went on in this movie.

Chuck: One thumb up, one thumb down

Started off strange and then to a whole other level. I think it shows that one person can change everything.

Steph: One thumb up, one thumb down

Fell asleep, will try to watch again before I take the movie back. I really think that there was a lot of symbolism and am interested to see what I missed.

Dave: two thumbs down

I have no idea...gave up after 30 minutes and caught up on some sleep. Sorry Chuck.

Stacy: one thumb up, one thumb down

I never knew a towel could be so multipurpose. VERY strange movie, but I did enjoy the dry humor.
