Speed Racer

I posted this on MTV Movie Blog 

Well I sure don’t work for any branch of the movie industry. I and my family LOVED Speed Racer. My hubby was glad that they kept the ‘cartoony’ aspect and didn’t try to make it too real. I think they did a good job with casting. I’m no Matrix fan either but the script worked for this story very well. It was true to its roots while still being updated and 21st century. We made sure our 11 year old had a background in the original cartoon before we took her too. But I don’t think it would have been necessary for her to enjoy it. If people don’t understand the action or the plot they are either dumb as bricks or trying to see what isn’t there. It was supposed to be fun and it was. I can’t see how it was a @@@* of the original either when the original was all campy and flash to begin with. It isn’t so much a racing movie as it is ‘kung-fu’ with cars. My daughter who dosn’t like very much and never wants to see anything again was bugging to see it again as we walked out of the theater. The bottom line is ‘never listen to the critics’ , they’re idiots.

Forbidden Kingdom

We went yesterday to see "Forbidden Kingdom", the new Jackie Chan/Jet Li movie. It was totally awesome. The characters were fun and the plot with the amarican kid was sweet. The locations where it was shot in china were incredible. I'd pay to see it again. Jackie and Jet were unbelievable. The kungfu scenes were strictly chinese style.

Day 7

We went to the movies and ate dinner together.Boiled chicken peas and carrots and brown rice. I ended up with a lot of gas after dinner, probably the fiber and hormones.

Day 6

Michael switched over to have dinner with us and we had shakes for breakfast and lunch. Everything went well. Michael even appreciated beans and macaroni for dinner.

Day 5

Doing better today. I only got hungry once, between lunch and dinner so I had all my 'snacks' then in the form of one protien bar (Luna). I could only eat about 500 cal at dinner, I got full believe it or not. My stomache must have shrunk. I exercised in the afternoon too. Michael too a easy ride at Calverton.

Day 4

Oi, when is this going to end? I woke up feeling ok but I made sure I took in a little more calories than yesterday so that I wouldn't crash like i did yeasterday. But I get so hungry and I still have no stamina. I switched from Slippery elm bark tea to capsules and yesterday and today I also drank fennel and pepermint tea.

Day 3

Today we did the first cleanse day. I could hardly think straight. Michael and I were both laughing about how dumb we felt today, and I was so clumsy too. I had to keep stopping and sitting down to rest. Good thing I didn't have to do any higher math. Made us appreciate Ghandi (god bless him). I started feeling really sick at about 10 pm. I was cold and shivering so Michael had me eat a 1/2 bowl of cereal and milk and I felt better and was able to go to bed.
