Wolverine Movie Review and Weekend Recap

On Saturday night, we went to check out X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The movie had a lot of action and was far more violent than previous X-Men movies. The body count is quite high with death’s occurring frequently throughout the movie. If you are a fan of the movies and their storyline with no knowledge of the comics, you will enjoy it much more. Having known the comics and the story lines for the characters, I had a hard time with elements of the movie. The difference between the comics and what happened on screen was too much. It definitely got the summer movie season of to a great start, but I don’t think it was on par with Iron Man or the Spiderman movies.

Our weekend went by pretty quickly. Saturday morning, Jesse and I headed over to meet some mechanics my co-worker introduced us to. I wanted to get their opinions and recommendations on Jesse’s truck. We drove the 1954 Ford over and found out a few things we could do 0n our own and one major repair job that we will need help with. We replaced the plug wires after a couple of tries before getting the right set. Without thinking, we spent 4 hours in the sun and got sun burned. It seems we got a good deal on the truck, but we have some things to fix. After returning home, we went to Lowes to pick up a replacement cooler that we hope to have installed this week. We spent Sunday staying out of the sun and applying aloe to sun burns.
