labor day meltdown

4 whole days off of work and of course it's the hottest it's been all year long. it's been well over 100 degrees every day this past weekend. sadly i only have a pathetic wall unit a/c so the only thing i've managed to do is shop and go to the movies (and there aren't very many good things out in theaters right now). movie rundown:

war - my parents are visiting and they wanted to see this. pretty much what you would expect - lots of action and killing but little plot or character development. there was kind of an interesting twist at the end though.

nanny diaries - meh. i think the story was interesting and i loved the last movie that the two directors did (american splendor) but i just didn't feel sympathetic for anyone in this movie except maybe the kid. the voice over was also annoying.

death at a funeral - really funny and charming. i didn't really know what to expect of it but i liked it a lot. plus it has alan tudyk in it. :)

the invasion - going to see that tonight. i don't know if it's going to be any good at all but i need the a/c.

off to beat the heat. stay hydrated!
