The Guardians Rise Again

One of the perks of Stephen's job is we get to see free screenings of DreamWorks movies before they open to the public. We went last weekend to see their newest film, Rise of the Guardians. Unfortunately, the power was out in the theater and about a 1/3 of the city. Apparently two hawks were fighting and crashed into a transformer and caused a widespread blackout. You can read about it here. Dumb birds.

So, this weekend we got to go again to the theater, but this time actually see the show.

My review of Rise of the Guardians:
It's magical, delightful and charming. It's definitely a great family holiday movie. It has a great message about belief and hope overpowering fear.

We got to see it in 3D and the first 30 seconds were so visually beautiful that I caught myself saying out loud, "so cool." Except for laughing I usually don't audibly make comments while watching a movie in a public theater. But, the show was too cool not to comment. My girls loved the show and even my baby was mesmerized.
