Yesterday, I went out with the Mad Madam M to watch the new movie Night at the Museum. The movie was awesome!
Now because I’m a librarian and must give credit where credit is due, this movie is based on a children’s book by Milan Trenc.
However, the book didn’t have such wonderful and distrubing goodness as Dick Van Dyke as a villain. Wait for a moment and picture that in your head. Also, I have to say for an old man, he still dances better than I do. Stay for the credits and watch him do a booty dance, dropping it like it’s hot. It’ll be burned into your retinas forever.
Next, we have Owen Wilson as a miniature cowboy with attitude and a Roman general who bravely let the air out of the tires for bad Dick’s getaway van. All their helpers get blown away and they’re snuggling together, still getting seriously windblown.
Roman General: “Save yourself!”
Cowboy Owen: “I ain’t gonna quit you!”
M and I laughed so hard we almost passed out. Anyone who’s seen Brokeback Mountain should recognize the homoerotic undertones of that line. Unfortunately, M and I must have been the only Brokback fans because everyone turned to look at us like we were insane while we whooped it up.
The middle of the film lagged a little, but the beginning and end took up the slack. Overall: brilliant film. I recommend it!
