Josie and the End of the Year Party

Kasiah's having an end of the year party at 4 and I'm invited, of course.  I have a feeling a bunch of people are gonna be there: Gabriel, L, Squirrel, Erin, Jewbie, Morgan, Giggles, HNBT, and of course, me.

Mom has been getting Blockbuster at Tom Thumb a lot.  So far, we've seen The Help, Captain America, Thor, and The King's Speech.

The Help - A hilarious movie about the colored help in Jackson, Mississippi, and a woman who is writing an illegal book about their experiences of working for white families.  This movie has absolutely phenomenal acting by Voila Davis and many others, but the best parts are the commodes and the famed pie scene.

Captain America - Short, 90 pound, mid 20's Steven Rogers tries to enlist during World War II, and finally gets into the army when a scientist wants to use him for an experiment to turn him into a super soldier.  This movie is funny, but also heart-breaking, and this time doesn't have the extra snip-it with Patches after the credits, but before.

Thor - When the soon-to-be-king of Asgard, Thor, gets banished to Earth, and his brother Loki becomes king instead, Thor gets taken in by astrophysisists Jane, Erik, and Darcy, who try to help him out as much as possible.  Meanwhile, Thor needs to defeat the evil Frostgiants of Gotenheim with his hammer, Myuh-meh and escape S.H.I.E.L.D., a top secret alien communication company that erases all evidence of there possibly being alien lifeforms.  This is hilarious and touching, and has the first bad guy that I kind of rooted for.  Again, Patches appears after the credits, but he talks to Erik the scientist, not Thor.

The King's Speech - Based on the true story of King George VI of England who has a terrible stutter, Alfred, the Duke of York gets a speech therapist to help him with public speaking.  This is hilarious and allows a lot of acting, considering there are no special effects, and it is very touching.  Warning: this has a lot of language.

You just got PUNJABBED!
