Behold, the 8th wonder of the world!

Today, we slept till pretty late in the morning... I did not wake up until 9:30am. It's a bit strange to not have any class to go to; every day feels like Friday or Saturday.

At 11:40am, we drove to Ward Theatres, where Naomi dropped the three of us off. The movie we watched today was King Kong, which had been released only yesterday! This one was Peter Jackson's remake of the old film made in the 1930's.

This picture is from the old one, not the one we watched today! Peter Jackson's version was much cooler...

Although I've never watched the old film, I knew some of the famous scenes from it, so I liked it that Peter Jackson kept so many of those scenes in his film without changing it.

Andy Serkis (Gollum) played a very different kind of character from LotR, and it was interesting to see him do something different (although he got killed off). Naomi Watts made a wonderful Miss Darrell, and Jack Black was so good as the obsessed director.

It was a great remake, and some scenes were really visual and beautiful, but I wouldn't recommend kids watching it... this movie is not overrated! Some of the scenes involving gigantic bugs and worms and other creepy crawly man-eating things were pretty gross.

Ooh, and there was the teaser trailer for X-men 3 before the movie! Ooh it looks so cool I can't wait!! I'm so looking forward to seeing some of the new characters, like Beast and Angel!

We looked at some clothes at Nordstrom Rack before going home. King Kong was a 3-hour-long movie, so it was evening by the time we got home. I didn't do anything very productive for the rest of the day... we ate leftovers for dinner, since we had plenty of those.

Only 4 more days till we go home!! :D
