As it has been established in previous journal entries, I have the attention span of a gnat and the pop culture tastes of a pre-teen girl. If I have the option of choosing between an epically moving and deeply complex movie or a Miley Cyrus movie, I will most likely choose the Miley movie. It's not that I think that the movie will have better acting or be more engaging, but sometimes I like to not watch the profound movie that forces me to think and then engage in a metaphysical discussion with others and analyze how this movie will effect the movie industry and art in general.

HENCE, when my gay bestie in Reno wanted to go see a movie yesterday, we both immediately shouted "HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON"!. How to Train Your Dragon is the latest movie in the epic 3-D craze followed previously by such movie as Coraline, Alice in Wonderland, and UP. I didn't really know anything about this movie nor did I read the book upon which the movie is based off of. Instead all I saw were some cute dragons that were sure to get into some mischief with the vikings. I knew that the movie was not going to have the answer to some great mystery of life or tackle issues currently prevelent in society. Instead, I was going to sit in a packed theater  where my bestie Nayte and I were the oldest people in the room, mow down on snacks that we snuck into the theater from 7-11, and be entertained by a movie about dragons in 3-D. Especially when life somes incredibly chaotic, sometimes you need to find an escape and loose yourself in the worlds and realities of others - it helps you forget what is going on in your own life for a second. Nayte and I are such sci-fi/fantasy/cartoon lovers that this movie seemed exactly up our alley.

The movie was really good actually. It was funny, captivating, and slightly touching. The 3-D elements did not take away from the overall movie and the movie still had a strong - though simplistic plot. I would whole heartedly recommend this movie to anybody, especially those that are looking for a little of escape in their lives at the moment.
