The day started off with lunch...a few friends were late 30 minutes...so we had to catch a later movie time. We watched Wall-E and the same people that were late didn't stay for the second movie (Hancock) with the rest of us. Then, we made our way to the Pier for dinner at Bubba Gump and fireworks show.
The day really didn't start out great. One of my friend and I were pretty annoyed that they were late 30 minutes and then had to watch later showings, which could have conflicted with dinner plans. We were itching to go see Wall-E ever since the first day it came out...the reason? the answer is on a previous post. But, by the time it was movie time we were focused on the movie only.
Wall-E, overall, was pretty good. I would give it 8 stars. The first portion of the movie had it's funny moments here and there. But, I found it sort of slow, not much happening in the beginning. The second portion the pace picked up. The movie has a message to it and may make you think at the end.
My friends and I talked about the humans in the movie the most because *spoiler* *spoiler ahead* *last warning of spoilers ahead* they were fat and all couch potatoes. It was pretty hilarious when the space shuttle tipped to one side and they all fell out of there chair to the side. And there feet/toes were so small too! lol.
*END OF SPOILER*
Hancock was also pretty funny. It's a easy-going, comedic-action movie? lol does that even make sense? I didn't really expect anything going into to the movie. I ended up liking the movie. I don't love it or anything. It's just a fun flick to watch.
Hancock has already made $41 million by Saturday morning.
*spoilers* *spoilers ahead* *last warning of spoilers ahead*
I totally did not expect Charlize Theron's character to have super powers. It just came out of nowhere. But, I knew since the first scene that Hancock and her character had together, that they knew each other somehow. For a second, I thought her character might be evil since she had black eyeliner, was angry, and the sky was turning grey.
*END OF SPOILER*
After the movies, we made our way to the Pier for dinner at Bubba Gump and fireworks at 9:30pm. Bubba Gump (wikipedia, official site) is a restaurant inspired by the movie Forest Gump. We ended up waiting 2 hours for a table. We kind of just decided to stay in line and by the time we were 1 hour in..we were kind of in too deep to not wait anymore.
We got our table around late 8:30ish and I order a "Bucket of Boat Trash." One of my friends ordered a dip (don't remember the name). She's a vegetarian so she could not eat a majority of the food. The other two friends had Mahi Mahis. Oh yea we also got two Chocolate Cookie Sundae similar to a Pizookie from BJ's Restaurant.
So we needed up "watching" the fireworks in Bubba Gump. It's more like we heard and saw lights then the actual fireworks. We couldn't see much through the windows. But, it was still an experience and just hanging out.
