Trying Out Some New Movies

I am currently suffering from a sleeping disorder, called, Lacie can't sleep past 6:15 AM.  So I wake up with nothing to do having no homework and nothing to take home from work.  My newest resolve was to watch movies.  The constant flow of different thoughts allows me to stay "numb", if you will.  

So I watched a few new movies today. 

First was Panic Room.  I enjoyed it for the most part.  It is about a mother and a daughter who lock themselves in a Panic Room during a break in of their home.  It is the actress who plays in Twilight (Kristen Stewart)- she plays the daughter with health condition.  She experiences hourly low blood sugar conflicts.  She provides the drama as she is constantly getting faint and passing out.  The mother, Jodie Foster, tries to get in and out of the panic room to collect things for her daughter to eat, getting cell phones, and various other tasks.  It is full of momentary disappointments as they get a cell phone inside only to find they have no service.  Overall I thought it was vastly entertaining- there are moments where I felt it was poorly written.  But I imagine that it would be difficult to be locked into a Panic 

Room- I know it would be the death of me, but I was impressed.

Next, I gave Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a try.  I figured it wouldn't be too bad.  I had been watching their morning cartoons for a few days, so how bad could the movie be.  But that was the wrong thing to think.  I am curious and lost about several factors.  First, why is their dad a giant rat?  Is he a creator or did he just take them in?  Who in heavens name designed their retarded shaped swords?  It was very difficult to make it though and I must confess I got up several times to walk off.  It was long and immature- definitely not made for my age range.  I suppose that is why I didn't see it when it was in theaters.  That is about all I have it sat about that- and Raphael is a baby.
