We just finished watching a movie that came out in 2009 ( although I didn’t see a single movie promotion for this one ) and we all agreed that that was one of the most fun we had had watching a movie together in a long time.  We laughed almost all the way through it.

The only problem was that it wasn’t supposed to be a comedy – but it was funnier than some comedies we have seen lately.

Sorry, Kevin Sorbo, you are a cutey but this movie of yours was a real stinker.  But the good news is that it was so bad that it was fun to watch.  Even my 11 year old son was coming up with one liner zingers in response to dialogue that were making us all crack up.

It was those real down to the core laughing – not just tee hee.  Very Fun.

What is this delightful film you ask?

Fire From Below

Digging at a nearby cave, a careless industrialist unearths a vein of pure base Lithium and inadvertently brings it to the surface, where the Lithium combusts when coming into contact with water and begins to wreak havoc on the country side.

The bad guy indrustrialists are such bad actors that you really can’t get mad at them for their evil corrupt capitolist pig ways because you just can’t get past their bad acting – that is more unforgiveable.

I thought for sure that it was a straight to DVD production but I don’t see it on Amazon yet.  So, if you are lucky enough to spot it on your HBO lineup then get some friends together, pop some popcorn, chill a bottle of wine and get ready for a fun night at the movies.  ( don’t see this in a theater – it requires being able to yell back at the screen ).

Perhaps I just need to change the name of this blog to “I guess you had to be there” because every day there is something that happens that really cracks me up. Typically, it is my kids or my hubby. They like to laugh.

So, yesterday my daughter brought home her homework from school and laid it out on the kitchen counter. One sheet of homework had a picture of our new President Obama looking very pensive with the question underneath the picture, “What do you think he is thinking about”.

My daughter spent a lot of time seriously considering all the possible answers to this question. Then my 10 year old walked in the room and saw this assignment on the counter and after a quick peak said “OH come ON! How could you Possibly know what he is thinking? When I have that look on my face I’m thinking about cats – if I had to answer this question my answer would have to be – cats. cats. cats. cats. cats.” This was entirely random because we don’t own a cat.

I truly appreciate my kids keeping a good perspective on politics and life in general.

But I guess you had to be there.
