review: Vacation

9/30/2015

Rusty Griswold takes his own family on a road trip to "Walley World" in order to spice things up with his wife and reconnect with his sons.

It wasn't the best movie but it had some funny moments. The little brother was annoying and mean. I liked Chris Hemsworth in the movie.I'm sure that would be considered the worst vacation ever no matter what the outcome was.I would really dislike to have that kind of vacation.It had some really gross things in it and I wish they didn't because it really was disgusting. Didn't really like the cannibal cow Sebastian but it wasn't as bad as Ed helms covered in cow guts for driving right through a cow and Sebastian eating it. That was disturbing.The did mention the original Vacation once which I like when newer movies reference the older versions.It's not a I have to see this kind of movie. I think visiting the landmarks would be really cool.Who would not want to stand at the four corners of the states?You could be in four places at once.I think that's pretty cool.I also think the Grand Canyon would be cool to see in person.

After having escaped the Maze, the Gladers now face a new set of challenges on the open roads of a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles.

What the heck did I just watch?I do not think this movie could be any more confusing than it already was.None of this movie made sense to me.The only thing I understood was that they were trying to escape WCKD. Everything else was a jumbled up puzzle that was impossible to solve.The zombies,the alien shrimp looking things and the people living in the mountains?Where did all these other people come from. I wish this made sense.I may just red the book to try and understand what happened.I think it would have been better if it did.I hope the third movie will make more sense and easier to understand.I liked that Gianocarlo Esposito was in it.He plays Sydney in Once Upon a Time.I knew his character looked familiar but he looked different.At first I couldn't even tell it was him but then I saw him and knew he was familiar.I liked the first movie better than this one.I do wish to know where the people in the mountains came from because I know the people in the WCKD building were from other mazes.

After spending two decades in England, Bill Bryson returns to the U.S., where he decides the best way to connect with his homeland is to hike the Appalachian Trail with one of his oldest friends.

I thought this movie was good but it seemed like I was watching Wild again.Except this was two old guys and a different trail and Wild was a true story.Mary Ellen was so annoying I would probably have done the same thing they did. I thought it was cool that the one character had my mom's name though.I'm not sure how far I would be able to get on the Appalachian trail if I started all the way in Georgia and headed towards Maine.I would probably reach like halfway and be sitting there to decide whether to give up or to keep going.2,018 miles seems pretty far to walk for guy their age.Although they were stupid not to take other people's help I liked that they wanted to accomplish something so big all by themselves and made it s far as they did.They had some guts for two old men. Though I did think his son would have offered to go with him or his daughter.That would have been the nice thing for them to do.Also at one point it seemed like they cheated even though it was to get away from Mary Ellen.
