WARNING, there will be a few plot spoilers ahead. I’ll try to keep them few…

This movie was almost not worth seeing. It felt very contrived and Hokey!!! They felt a need to kill off key characters early in the story for NO APPARENT REASON. I don’t mind the death of a character if it serves a purpose, but I didn’t see a purpose in the death of… argh, that would be too much of a plot spoiler.

Well anyway, I also felt like all the characters except Logan were out of character. And while Storm is decent in this movie there were times when she felt out of character as well.

The new things introduced into this movie felt contrived since they were never mentioned before, like Jean’s split personality, and the levels of Mutants.

Some of the dialog is horribly cheesy!!! This movie could have used a real script and a better director, like maybe the director that directed X-1 and X-2.

All in all, it was not worth the money I spent to see it nor the time. If you want to see X-men worth watching, go rent the first or second one!!! I was very VERY disappointed with this movie!

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Silver Dollar City on Monday of this week:

We got a little wet on this ride…

We went on a ride called the Powder Keg. The interesting thing about this ride is that it went from about zero to 60 in about 2 seconds. It was some kind of take off. They also had a little bit of humor when building this ride:

And a final bit of humor at the entrance to the Powder Keg:

We also went on a tour of Marvel Cave:

It is hard to get good pictures in the dark with an automatic camera and for other reasons… if you know what you are looking at, you can see the entrance to the cave and the stairs down into it.

Here is what I created today...

I am not a professional graphic designer, but I didn’t think this was too bad.

My brethren, let me say, be like Christ at all times. Imitate him in “public.” Most of us live in some sort of public capacity—many of us are called to work before our fellow-men every day. We are watched; our words are caught; our lives are examined—taken to pieces. The eagle-eyed, argus-eyed world observes everything we do, and sharp critics are upon us. Let us live the life of Christ in public. Let us take care that we exhibit our Master, and not ourselves—so that we can say, “It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me.”

Everybody take a good look, something unusal has happened. My wife has actually posted on her blog. Have a look HERE.

No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.
