Oddball

Thats the dogs name and also the name of the movie that we went to see this afternoon. Its a kids movie and released for the holidays. I had seen the shorts and thought hat it would be goos plus it had Shane Jacobson in it which should have made it a top movie and I was not disappointed.

I was a bit worried at one stage though when the dog was missing and I was hoping that nothing bad had happened to him when Warren leaned over and hissed to me "Its a movie!"

It was based on a true story set in a seaside town/city west of Melbourne and it was around the rescue of Fairy penguins. Very enjoyable, there was one other person in the theatre when Warren and I went in.

Penguins

Last night we went to see this kids movie. We had been introduced to the four penguins in the Madagascar movies a few years ago and this was just about the penguins.

Of course there were many families with kids and then there was us, two sixty plus old farts asking for tickets to the Penguins.

Warren had bought a movie ticket for $50 to give to some-one for Christmas but on discussion we decided that they probably wouldn't use it and so gifted then some wine instead. I figured they could regift it if it wasn't to their liking. We used the movie gift card last night even buying and ice cream (dessert) and a drink to share and we still have money left.

The young guy at the counter asked us (as he put some seniors cards through the machine) why Penguins? we both replied because they're funny!

It was a good laugh, completely unrealistic (I hope) but just so funny and fast moving, the music score was good as well and there were small clips back to other movies or references which kids wouldnt know but we did.

Warren was chatting to people at tennis today who had been but had taken their grandkids, that was their excuse.

If you want a good laugh go see it, def worth it.
